Receive donations
Your church can receive gifts through several channels. Use the one that fits each moment: a public link, recording from the panel, or the member app.
Public giving page
URL: https://app.ministrium.com/give/<slug>
On the public page the donor can complete fields such as:
- Designation (fund)
- +Add another fund to split the amount
- Campus
- Personal or Business
- First name, Last name, and Email
- Suggested amounts or a custom amount
- The option to cover the fees
- Summary Donation / Fee / Total
- Donate with Stripe
When the donor selects the option to cover the fees, the page can confirm that The church receives 100% of your donation.
There is also an ES / EN language selector.
From the admin panel
Users with permission can record gifts with:
- Record Donation — record from Finance, one gift at a time
- Quick Entry — opens the most recent open batch (or creates a draft batch) to capture several gifts with the Quick Entry card
By default, Pastor, Associate Pastor, Finance Leader, Accountant, and Campus Administrator (within their campus) can record donations.
Member app
In /app/donations the member can make one-time gifts from their account.
Cash and physical offerings
Cash and other physical offerings are recorded and organized through batches in Finance.
Fees
Your donors can cover the fees so your church receives 100% of every gift.
Ministrium charges a 1% platform fee to process donations and maintain the platform; Stripe charges its processing fee separately.
Illustrative example: when the donor selects the option to cover the fees, a $50 gift may total $52.32 (with Stripe at 2.9% + $0.30) or $51.95 (with Stripe at 2.2% + $0.30). Those totals already include Stripe’s processing fee plus Ministrium’s 1%. The nonprofit rate applies only if Stripe has approved it for the church and depending on the type of connected Stripe account. Stripe fees may vary by country, card type and nonprofit status.
If the donor does not select the option to cover the fees, Stripe’s fee and the 1% are deducted from what the church receives.
Every digital gift goes directly to the church’s Stripe account. The donor sees the breakdown (Donation / Fee / Total) before paying. There are no hidden monthly costs for giving.
