Church online giving: the options, the fees, and how to set it up

Answer · Updated

The best church giving lets members give in a few taps, once or every week or month, by the methods they already use, with the money going straight to the church's own bank account. With AltarPage in Nigeria, members give by card, bank transfer or USSD, and givers can cover the fees so the church receives the whole gift.

What to look for

  • Methods members use: in Nigeria that's card, transfer and USSD.
  • Money straight to the church: no waiting for a platform to pay out.
  • Recurring giving: tithes every week or month without remembering.
  • Fees the giver can cover, so the church gets the full amount.
  • Receipts and a record of who gave, for thanks and follow-up.

The fees, plainly

AltarPage takes 2% of each gift (1% on Premium and Broadcast plans), never more than ₦3,000 a gift. The card or bank processing fee is about 1.5% + ₦100, capped at ₦2,000. When a giver ticks "I'll cover the fees" (ticked by default), they pay both: a ₦10,000 gift costs them about ₦10,457 and your church receives ₦10,000.

Giving during a broadcast

Give sits right under the live player, and gifts are tagged to the broadcast, so after a service you can see what it raised. Outside Nigeria, add your own giving links and bank details while card giving comes to your country.
