Introduction
ChMeetings does not yet provide direct integration with any website-building platform; however, there are some features that you can embed. These help you provide and gather information to and from members and to collect donations. This article briefly explains these features and links you to further documentation.
Note that some of the features below are subject to plan availability. Please see our plan comparison table to see which plan gives you access to the integrations you’re interested in.
Church App Registration
You can direct website visitors to your church app by sharing your app invitation link, where people can see your app and register as members. If you don’t know it already, you can get your this link from under Member Portal > Settings > Invitation Link.
Just copy the Invitation Link and add it to your website as a simple link, or as a button, as part of a design.
See our guide on Configuring the Member Portal to learn more.
Online Giving
Online giving can be integrated to your website depending on the payment processor you select: either PayPal or Stripe; as follows:
- Stripe comes with both a direct giving link that members can click on to reach your online giving page, and with embeddable code. When you embed your online giving code, members no longer have to leave the page to reach giving options; they can find them right on your website, along with other relevant content.
- PayPal: ChMeetings provides a direct giving link that members can click on to reach your online giving page. You can add it to your website as a text link, place it behind a button, or any other web object you prefer. You can even copy a QR code that points to this link to make it easy for members to give to your church. Learn more about online giving.
- PayStack is available in some countries located in Africa and can process online donations as well, along with
event payments.
Embeddables
Events
You can embed Events to your website by copying the event’s embed code from under Events > Select Event (Find Occurrence if recurring) > Options Menu > Share. Learn more about sharing events. Note that events must be public to be embedded to your website.
Calendars
You can embed your main and upcoming events calendars by copying a code block and pasting it onto your website. Additionally, you can use iCal to integrate with any app or website platform that supports this format. Note that events must be public to display in shared calendars. Please see How to share the calendar? for further details about using this feature. You can also share calendars using direct links.
Forms
You can use forms to gather information from members. Forms can be embedded into your website by copying/pasting a code block. Learn more. Note that forms must be public to be accessible on your website, meaning that the option to limit the form to members only must be turned off.
Shareable Links
Service Plans
You can add Service Plans to your Events, and share them with people, separately from the event itself. If you’d like them to be accessible on your website as well, then you can link to them anywhere. Note that the event to which the service plan is attached must be public for the plan to be shared.
Appointments
Members can book appointments with church servants via ChMeetings and you can add them to your website via a shareable link. Note that the appointment type must be publicly visible to be made available on your website.
Blog Posts
ChMeetings lets you publish a blog within your church app. Website visitors can read public posts without registering as members if posts are public, and you can add these to your website by linking to them.
Church App Pages
If you have a paid plan, your church app includes pages you can create and share with members and guests. You can make them accessible to website visitors if they are visible to guests by linking to them.
The Bible
ChMeetings includes a built-in bible, which you can add as an app menu item, using the App Builder. Set the visibility to Members and Guests, so website visitors can access it, then link to https://yourchurchname.chmeetings.com/bible.
Media Library Content (with the Branded App)
If you are subscribed to the Branded App, you have access to a Media Library feature, which lets you link to or upload various types of media to your church app.
You can make media accessible to website visitors by using the Media Card within the App Builder, and making sure it is visible to Guests. You add this card to a page of your choice, then link this page onto your website.
