On the cutting edge of payment technologies through the power of Stripe, you can accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, standard credit cards, recurring payments, and more with a beautiful and responsively designed payment form.

Here’s a few of the things included in Church Tithe WP:

    Users can choose to tithe once, or on a recurring basis automatically.

  • Stay-on-site payments
    Users can pay without ever leaving your website.

  • Multi-currency
    Allow your users to pay in their own currency.

  • User dashboard
    Your users can log in to print their receipts, review their plans, or cancel their plans at any time.

  • Apple Pay
    On Apple devices that support Apple Pay, users can tithe with a single tap (or “look”) on their device.

  • Google Pay
    Users of Google Chrome with saved credit cards can pay with a single tap.

  • 3D Secure and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA)
    You are protected from fraudulent purchases and chargebacks, and also comply with SCA regulations in the EU.

  • Everything is included
    Church Tithe WP is a fully featured plugin, including recurring payments, Stripe, multi-currency, customer management dashboard, admin controls, and more. New features will also be included at no extra cost.

So what does it cost?

Church Tithe WP is totally free to install. Church Tithe WP makes money through a 1% transaction fee, so you can install it and keep it forever, without paying anything. The 1% fee is in addition to any credit card fees applied by Stripe. If you are a registered non-profit, you may be eligible for a lower rate at Stripe.

What about GDPR Compliance?

Aside from their email address, this plugin stores absolutely no personally identifiable information about your users when they make a payment. No names, credit card information, IP addresses, nothing. Only emails are stored in WordPress core’s “users” table, and can be erased using WordPress’s normal erase-personal-data process. We recommend adding a note to your privacy policy stating that the only information recorded during a payment is the email address, and that all other data is handled by Stripe.com.

Does this plugin fully support 3DSecure and the SCA regulation in the EU?

Yes.

Where and how do I show the payment form on by website?

We typically recommend creating a new page called something like “Give”, and placing this shortcode on it [churchtithewp]. If you’d prefer it to open in a popup modal, use this shortcode:
[churchtithewp mode=”button” link_text=”Give Online” open_style=”in_modal”]

Is there a discounted rate for non-profits?

If you have non-profit status, Stripe requests that you reach out to them to discuss this. See: https://support.stripe.com/questions/fee-discount-for-non-profit-organizations
