Steadyfaith uses Stripe to take gifts and pay them into your church's bank account. Once it's connected, people can give from your giving page, from a giving QR code, or right after they check in.
Before you start
- Only your church's owner account can connect Stripe.
- Have your church's legal name, EIN (if you have one) and bank account details handy. Stripe asks for them to verify your church.
Connect Stripe
- Open giving settings — Go to Settings → Giving.
- Connect Stripe — Click Connect Stripe. You'll go to Stripe to verify your church and add your bank account.
- Come back to Steadyfaith — When you finish, Stripe sends you back. The connection should show Giving is ready. If it says Onboarding incomplete, click through again — Stripe usually just needs one more detail.
- Set up receipts — Under Receipts & statements, add a thank-you message for receipt emails, your EIN / Tax ID and the wording for annual statements.
- Create your funds — Add Tithes, Offering, Missions and anything else people give to. Funds & giving QR codes
- Make a test gift — Give a small amount from your own card to check everything works end to end. You can refund it afterwards.

The Giving section only shows for people whose role includes giving — the owner, admins and Finance/Giving Admins. Ask your church's owner to check your role in Settings → Team. Team & roles
