# Supporting CordLine

CordLine is free to use. If you'd like to help keep it running, you can contribute directly to CordLine — here's how that works.

## Supporting CordLine is not the same as supporting a missionary

These are two different things, and it's worth being clear about which is which.

**Gifts to a missionary or ministry** don't pass through CordLine at all. We don't collect them, hold them, or pass them on. How you give to the people you follow is between you and them — often through their sending organization.

**Contributions to CordLine** support the platform itself: the servers, the apps, and the work of keeping it going. That's what this article is about.

⚠️ **Contributions to CordLine are not tax-deductible.** CordLine Inc. is a for-profit company, not a charity. We can't give tax advice, and we make no representation about how any gift you make elsewhere is treated.

## How to contribute

Support CordLine is available in the CordLine mobile app, version 1.0.4 or later, for supporters in the United States. It isn't available on the web.
Open **Support CordLine** from your account menu, choose an amount, and pick how often:

- **One-time** — a single contribution.
- **Monthly** — the same amount each month, until you stop it.
- **Yearly** — once a year.

Payment is handled by Stripe on their own secure page, so we never see or store your card details. You'll get a receipt by email from Stripe once it goes through.

## One contribution at a time

You can have one active contribution. If you already contribute monthly or yearly and want to give a different amount, change the existing one rather than starting a second — otherwise you'd be charged twice.

## Changing your amount

Open Manage support and choose a new amount. Your existing contribution stops and the new one takes its place.
Switching between monthly and yearly isn't a change you can make in place. Cancel your current contribution first, then start a new one on the schedule you want. Cancelling stops future payments but doesn't refund what you've already contributed.
## Updating your card
Open Manage support and update your payment details. If a card is about to expire, Stripe will email you before it becomes a problem.
If a payment fails, we'll email you. Your contribution isn't cancelled straight away — Stripe retries for a while, and updating your card picks it back up where it left off.
## Cancelling
Open Manage support and cancel. It stops right away, and nothing further is charged.
⚠️ Contributions already made aren't refunded. Cancelling stops what hasn't been taken yet; it doesn't return what has.
You're welcome to start again at any time.
## Deleting your account
If you contribute monthly or yearly, cancel it before deleting your account — see "How to Delete Your Account" for why.
