There are three ways you can integrate third party platforms to collect online giving payments, as ChMeetings does not have this built in. There are platforms with which we integrate directly (PayPal and Stripe), Zapier-enabled integrations (for example, Zeffy); or other integrations which require regular data management. Note that integrations are only available with paid plans.

Direct Integrations

ChMeetings offers  direct integration only with payment providers such as PayPal, Stripe, or Paystack. We recommend using Stripe, here’s why:

There are no additional fees from ChMeetings, you only pay the payment provider’s processing fees. For reference, Stripe’s nonprofit rates are:

• Credit/Debit Cards: 2.2% + $0.30 per transaction
• ACH Payments: 0.8%, capped at $5 per transaction

The integration can be set up through Settings > Integrations. You can learn more about configuring Online Giving here: Configure Online Giving.

Integration via Zapier

If we do not have a direct integration with your platform, please check whether it may be integrated via Zapier. Such an example is Zeffy. You must have a Zapier account and integrate the ChMeetings app to do so.

Other Integrations

For any other platforms, you can: export giving data weekly or monthly and import it into CHMeetings using Settings > Tools > Import Giving.

If you need help integrating a payment gateway, please get in touch with our team.
