Keep what’s given
Generosity shouldn’t come with a percentage.
Some giving platforms take a cut of every gift, so the more your church receives, the more they take. GoodSeed is a flat £9.99 a month for every church, large or small. Your costs stay the same as your giving grows.
Card fees are charged by the payment provider whichever platform you use. With GoodSeed they’re Stripe’s standard rates, taken from each gift — and givers can choose to cover them, so your church receives the whole amount.

Card fees
Stripe takes its standard fee from each gift — currently 1.5% + 20p for standard UK cards, with lower rates for Bacs Direct Debit. Givers can choose to cover it, so your church receives the whole gift. Registered charities can ask Stripe about discounted rates. See Stripe’s pricing.

Our promise
Here to serve the church, not to profit from generosity.
We believe what people give to their church should reach their church. So we charge a small flat fee instead of a slice of every gift, we never touch the money, and we give a quarter of our own profit to charity.
- A flat fee, never a percentage. Your costs stay the same however generous your church is.
- Gifts never pass through us. Stripe pays your church directly, so donated money is never held by GoodSeed.
- 25% of our profit, given away. As more churches join GoodSeed, more goes to charity.
Questions
Good to know.
Can’t see your question? Email [email protected] and a real person will reply.
Do you really take nothing from each gift?
Nothing at all. Our only charge is £9.99 a month. The only deduction from a gift is the card fee that Stripe, the payment provider, charges for processing it — and givers can choose to cover that.
Where does the money go?
Into your church’s own Stripe account, which pays out to your church’s bank account on Stripe’s regular schedule. GoodSeed never holds donated money. Your church can see every payment and payout in its own Stripe dashboard as well as in GoodSeed.
What do we need to sign up?
A bank account in your church’s name and the details of someone responsible for its finances, such as your treasurer. Stripe asks for these when you connect. To claim Gift Aid you’ll also need your church’s HMRC charities reference.
How does Gift Aid work?
Givers tick a box and confirm HMRC’s declaration as they give; you can also record paper and phone declarations. When you’re ready to claim, GoodSeed prepares your claim in the format HMRC’s Charities Online service expects, and you submit it as usual. HMRC pays the Gift Aid to your church.
Can we record cash and envelope gifts too?
Yes. Enter a Sunday’s envelopes in one go by envelope number. They appear in your reports and givers’ annual statements, and they’re included in Gift Aid claims where the giver has a declaration.
Do our givers need an account?
No — anyone can give in a few taps without one. A free account is there for those who want it: they can save a card for one-tap giving, see all their giving in one place and manage their regular gifts.
What happens after the free trial?
Start the £9.99 plan whenever you’re ready to keep receiving gifts online. Nothing is charged automatically: if you don’t start the plan, your giving page simply pauses until you do.
Can we leave if it’s not right for us?
Of course. There’s no contract, and you can cancel any time. You can download your gifts and givers as spreadsheets, and your Stripe account — including the history of every payment — stays with your church.
Ready when you are.
Set up your church’s giving page in a few minutes. It’s free for the first 30 days.
