Finance & Giving

Offerings & Tithes

FlockSuite provides a robust system for recording and managing all types of church offerings, tithes, and other financial contributions both online and offline.

Online Giving

Members and visitors can give online through the church's public page at /give/{church-slug}. The giving form supports:

• Multiple offering categories (Tithe, Offering, Seed, Building Fund, etc.)
• Member ID validation for identified givers
• Anonymous giving for visitors
• Payment processing via Paystack or Stripe
• Automated email receipts upon successful transactions

Offering Categories

Church admins can create custom offering categories to classify donations. Navigate to Finance → Offering Categories to manage them.

Recording Offline Offerings

Manually record cash and check offerings through the admin dashboard under Finance → Offerings. Each record includes donor information, amount, category, date, and optional notes.

Campaigns & Fundraising

Launch fundraising campaigns for specific church projects and track progress toward financial goals.

Public visitors can browse all active campaigns at /campaigns and view individual campaign details at /campaign/{church_id}/{slug}.
