KADEPAY FOR CHURCHES & MINISTRIES

Online giving for churches, from Sunday offerings to youth retreats.

Fewer people carry cash or checks on Sunday, but they still want to give. KadePay gives your church a giving link and a QR code for the bulletin, recurring gifts for members who give monthly, and tickets, forms and trip payments for everything else on the calendar.

Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.

Sound familiar?

Your people want to give. The plate is not always there.

Small churches run on volunteers, a part-time treasurer and a lot of goodwill. These are the money tasks that wear on church leaders, and how KadePay makes room for ministry again.

01

Visitors and younger members who never carry cash

The plate goes by, a first-time family wants to give, and all they have is a phone. The moment passes.

With KadePay

Print a QR code in the bulletin, on the screen and by the doors that opens your donation link. They scan, choose an amount and give with Apple Pay, Google Pay, a card or bank transfer.

02

Giving that dips every summer and every snowstorm

When families travel or the roads ice over, attendance drops and so does the offering, even though the bills for the building keep coming.

With KadePay

For members who give the same amount each month, the church can set up recurring giving as a recurring bill on the Team or Pro plan. The giving link also works from the lake house.

Recurring billing
03

Youth trip money collected in envelopes for months

Camp is $420 per student, families pay in pieces, and the youth pastor keeps a spreadsheet and an envelope in a desk drawer.

With KadePay

Agree a payment plan with each family, say four installments of $105 collected from an eligible saved card or bank account. Add the permission and emergency contact form they sign on their phone.

Payment plans
04

Dinners and retreats tracked on a clipboard at the door

The spaghetti dinner sold tickets after every service for three weeks, and on the night nobody can tell who already paid.

With KadePay

Sell tickets from a link and scan each ticket's QR code at the door to check people in. Tickets do not assign seats, so plan tables the way you always have.

A treasurer reconciling three apps and a cash bag

Some gifts come through a personal Venmo, some by check, some through the old giving site, and the treasurer pieces it together on Monday night.

With KadePay

Card, wallet and bank gifts land in one list with the giver's name. Venmo and Zelle gifts can be recorded with no KadePay fee, and the church treasurer downloads the transactions for the books.

How it fits your week

How giving and events flow through a church week

  1. Sunday morning

    The QR on the screen and in the bulletin opens your Flex Link: the general fund, the building fund, missions and this month's events, all in one place.

  2. Gifts come in

    Members give from their phones by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer. The receipt carries your church's own thank-you and acknowledgment wording.

  3. Midweek ministry

    Volunteers sign up for the nursery or the food pantry with a form they sign on their phone, and families register for the retreat with a form and a payment link.

  4. Event night

    Greeters scan ticket QR codes at the fellowship hall door, and the bake sale table takes Tap to Pay on a compatible phone.

  5. Monday for the treasurer

    The treasurer downloads last week's gifts and ticket sales for the bookkeeper, with Venmo and Zelle gifts recorded alongside the rest.

KadePay for churches

What to look for in online giving for churches of every size

Online giving for small churches has to be simple enough for the treasurer and for longtime members who still bring a checkbook. A church giving app should not need a new website or a long setup. KadePay starts with a donation link and a QR code you can print anywhere, and it grows into recurring giving, events and forms when you need them.

Tithes and offerings online work best when giving is one tap away. Put the QR in the bulletin and on the screen, and share the same Flex Link on your website and social pages. Separate links for the general fund, building fund and missions keep every gift where the giver intended.

Church life is more than Sunday. Church event registration for retreats and VBS runs on signed forms, dinners and concerts sell tickets with QR check-in, and youth trips can be paid in installments. Each family's payments and forms stay together on one profile.

KadePay is a church donation app and forms tool, not a church management system, and it does not decide how gifts are treated for taxes. Your church writes its own acknowledgment wording for the receipt, and the treasurer downloads transactions for the books.

CLEAR ANSWERS

Churches & faith communities: your questions, answered.

What is the best church giving app for a small church?

One that members can use without help and the treasurer can reconcile without three logins. KadePay offers donation links and QR codes, recurring gifts on Team or Pro, event tickets, trip payment plans and signed forms, with every gift in one downloadable list.

How do small churches accept donations online?

Create a donation link for each fund, print its QR code in the bulletin and on the screen, and share the link on your website. Givers choose an amount and give by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer from their own phone.

Can members give the same amount every month without remembering?

Yes, on the Team or Pro plan. The church sets up a recurring bill for the amount and frequency the member chooses, paid from their saved card or bank account. Members can still give one-time gifts from the same link any Sunday.

Can KadePay send year-end giving statements?

No. KadePay does not prepare year-end statements or advise on how gifts are treated. Your church can add its own acknowledgment wording to the after-payment receipt, and the treasurer can download every transaction to prepare statements the way your church already does.

Can we sell tickets for church events and check people in?

Yes. Sell tickets from a payment link, and each ticket has a QR code you scan at the door for check-in. Tickets do not assign seats or stop sales at a set number, so keep an eye on your own headcount.

How much does KadePay cost for a church?

For a small congregation, Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month; payment and usage fees apply. Monthly recurring gifts and staff logins need Team or Pro. The pricing page lists current plans.
