Frequently asked questions

Is ParishSignUp a full replacement for ParishStaq or Pushpay?

No. ParishSignUp doesn't process online giving, keep sacramental registers, or run fund accounting. It handles volunteer signups, confession booking, groups, and the calendar, plus optional membership forms, stewardship pledges, surveys, and catechesis.

Our diocese uses ParishStaq. Can our parish still use ParishSignUp?

Yes. Many parishes keep the diocesan system for records and giving and use ParishSignUp for ministry signups that volunteers can fill from a link, without a login.

Can we try it without talking to sales?

Yes. Create the parish yourself and the free plan never expires. A parish's first Parish Plus subscription starts with 30 days free, with no card needed to start.
