Start with essential giving, add deeper stewardship tools when your leaders need them, or bring the full work of parish life into one platform. AGAPAY never takes a percentage of donations; gifts flow straight to your parish's own Stripe account.
Starter gives a new mission the essentials: General Operating, one designated fund, candles, direct giving links, and QR codes. Giving Plus adds unlimited funds, campaigns, commemorations, parish branding, and annual statements. Stewardship and Parish add leadership insights and parish operations.
Starter covers simple digital giving, and each higher tier adds capabilities without adding an AGAPAY fee to donations.

Stripe offers discounted processing to eligible U.S. nonprofit accounts used primarily for tax-deductible donations. Stripe reviews and approves eligibility directly; AGAPAY does not control these rates.
Eligible nonprofit donation pricing for standard U.S. credit-card gifts.
Capped at $5 per payment under Stripe’s standard ACH pricing.
AMEX is an exception and may process at this higher nonprofit card rate.
Your organization must be a registered nonprofit with valid tax documentation, and its Stripe account must be used primarily to receive donations.
Sign in to the Stripe account connected to your parish and submit a nonprofit-pricing request through Stripe Support. You may also contact Stripe’s nonprofit team by email.
AGAPAY recommends applying before active fundraising begins. Approval is not automatic, and you should not assume Stripe will apply discounted rates retroactively.
Adjust monthly giving, the average gift size, and donor fee coverage to understand your true net deposit.
Assuming about 267 gifts per month at a $75 average gift. The $0.30 component uses this estimated gift count.
These modules used to be a separate $39/mo add-on. They are now simply part of the Parish and Cathedral/Diocese tiers — no extra subscription to manage.
Bookstore items, parish goods, event-style payments, and order checkout through My AGAPAY.
Parishioners can request house blessings, baptisms, weddings, funerals, and other services from My AGAPAY.
A home for parish workflows that are not donations or stewardship, with more modules added as they become ready.
One subscription, everything included. Stewardship Health, pledges, donor insights, reports, giving records, Sacraments & Services, and Commerce all belong in the Parish tier — nothing sold separately.
Monasteries, sketes, and convents pay no monthly subscription fee — and like every AGAPAY tier, they pay no AGAPAY donation fee either. Only Stripe's standard processing applies to gifts.
No setup fees, no annual lock-in, and no cancellation penalties. Standard tiers are month to month.
AGAPAY does not charge a donation fee. Stripe’s processing rate depends on the payment method and your account’s approved pricing. Eligible U.S. nonprofits may receive 2.2% + $0.30 standard-card donation pricing, while ACH is generally 0.8% capped at $5. Donors can choose to cover the processing cost at checkout.
No. AGAPAY is not a donation middleman. Gifts are processed by Stripe and flow through the church's connected Stripe account; AGAPAY facilitates the giving experience without taking custody of donated funds.
Choose Starter for simple digital donations, Giving Plus for Orthodox campaigns and giving tools, Stewardship for donor insight, or Parish for the complete operations platform. Change or cancel at any time.
