Connect Stripe

To receive online gifts, your church needs to connect Stripe from the admin panel.

Where to connect

1. Open Settings.
2. Go to the Integrations tab.
3. Choose Connect with Stripe and complete the flow Stripe shows you.

Connection states

After you start the process, the integration may show as:

• Connected — ready to receive digital gifts.
• Pending verification — Stripe is still reviewing your church’s information.
• Not connected — no account is linked yet.

Without Connect, the public page cannot accept gifts

If Stripe is not connected, the public giving page shows Online donations unavailable. Guests and donors cannot complete a payment until the connection is ready.

Money goes to your church

Every digital gift is processed to your church’s Stripe account. Ministrium does not hold the gift amount as its own deposit.
