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.
