Enabling Apple Pay in Stripe

With ChurchTrac Online Giving through Stripe, you can accept church donations directly to your ministry with Apple Pay. By default, this feature is disabled. This article covers how you enable it.

Stripe will charge the same rate for processing Apple Pay transactions as they do for all other credit and debit card transactions. There is no additional fee from Apple for Apple Pay transactions.

How to Enable Apply Pay

Below are the steps to enable Apple Pay for Online Giving:

Step 1: Click the Cog Wheel in the Top Right Corner
