A6 uses Stripe for payment processing. Stripe is a payment processor and merchant account. In order to accept online donations, charge for event registrations, or accept form payments, you'll need to setup a Stripe account.
The account is free to setup and maintain. Stripe will deduct a small processing fee for each transaction. Stripe currently charges 2.9% + $0.30 cents for credit card transactions and $0.25 cents for ACH transactions.
Every few days Stripe will transfer your balance to your bank account.
To unlock the power of A6 Church + stripe follow these steps:
- Navigate to Settings. You'll find settings in the menu at the top right of your screen.
- Click Integrations in the menu on the left side of the page.
- Click Connect on the Stripe integration.

- If you already have a Stripe account just simply log into your existing account and click Connect my Stripe account when asked if you'd like to connect your Stripe account to A6 Technologies.
