Do we need someone technical to run it?
No. We set everything up for you, at no cost, and your parish is ready on day one. If you can use a phone, you can use POP.
What happens to our existing records?
You keep them. During your free setup we help you bring your parishioners, funds, and calendar into POP, so nothing is lost and nothing is left behind.
Is there a long contract?
No. POP is a simple monthly subscription for the whole parish, and you can cancel at any time.
Who pays the card processing fees?
POP takes 0% of any gift. Only the card processor's standard fee applies, and a giver can choose to cover that fee so the parish receives the full amount.
Can parishioners who do not use the app still give?
Yes. Giving works in any web browser, and the office can record cash, checks, and the entire Sunday collection from a single photo.
Is POP only for Serbian parishes?
No. POP is built for every Orthodox tradition in its own language and calendar, including Serbian, Russian, Greek, and Antiochian.
How is this different from generic church software?
POP is Orthodox to its foundations. It knows the Julian calendar, the Slava, commemorations for the living and the departed, the fasting seasons, the daily readings, and the parish registers, the things a generic app was never built to understand.
Is our data safe?
Yes. Payments run through Stripe, each parish's records are private to that parish, every connection is encrypted, and members control their own information. We never sell your data.
