Giving
Receive tithes and gifts online and give to your churches — connect Stripe, manage funds and payouts, set up recurring gifts, and find your receipts and year-end statements.
Setting up online giving
How to turn on online giving — what to gather first, the personal details Stripe requires and why, what to use if your church has no website, the setup states you'll move through, and how money reaches your church's bank without Psalmly ever holding it.
Managing giving funds
How to create and manage the funds members give toward — the always-on Tithes & offerings fund, adding designated funds with their own icon and color, hiding a fund without deleting it, and archiving the ones you no longer need.
Payouts, fees, and where your money goes
How gifts reach your church's bank, when payouts arrive, the processing fees that apply on card and bank gifts, the difference between free and paid plans for online giving, and how "cover the fees" helps your church keep more.
Tracking gifts, refunds, and reports
How to review the gifts your church receives — the Recent gifts table on your dashboard and Giving page, opening a single gift for its full detail, what anonymous gifts look like, exporting to CSV, resending a receipt, and how refunds work.
Recording cash and check gifts
How to log the cash and checks from the Sunday plate per giver — the Record offering batch, matching gifts to members, loose plate cash, attaching the count sheet, the AI scan on paid plans, and how recorded gifts complete statements and totals.
Giving alerts and what to do about them
The alerts Psalmly sends your church about giving — a member's recurring gift failing, going on hold, or stopping, your Stripe account not being able to collect, an unfinished Stripe setup, disputes and failed refunds — who on your team gets them, and what is actually yours to act on.
Giving by person
What each person gave between any two dates — members, people without an account, and people who gave on your website — with a giving page for each person, a statement for one person or all at once, a CSV for your accountant, and how to match gifts to the right person when a name was typed two ways.
Recording pledges
How to record pledge cards — one amount per person for a calendar year — see Pledged beside Given in Giving by person, change or remove a pledge, and what pledges deliberately don't do.
Giving to your church
How to give online through Psalmly — choosing an amount and a fund, giving once or on a schedule, paying by card or bank, the option to cover processing fees, giving anonymously, and what happens right after you give.
Recurring gifts
How to set up a gift that repeats — choosing weekly, every-two-weeks, or monthly, when the first and next gifts are charged, and how to pause, resume, change the amount, the fund, or the card it's paid with, or cancel a recurring gift at any time.
Your saved payment methods
How your saved cards and bank accounts work in Psalmly — one wallet that works across all your churches, adding a card or linking a bank for lower-cost giving, choosing a default, removing a method, and how your details are kept secure.
Receipts and tax statements
The records you get for your giving — an emailed receipt for every online gift, your year-end contribution statement as a downloadable PDF for taxes, where to find them on web and mobile, and how anonymous giving still keeps your own complete records.
Emails and notices about your giving
Every message Psalmly sends about your giving — the confirmation when a recurring gift is set up, what a payment that didn't go through means and how to fix it, when a gift goes on hold or stops, refunds, and what sends no notice at all.
