# Shul Services

> Shul Services is member, pledge, payment, website and email software built for synagogues (shuls). One system runs the congregation's public website, its contacts and households, pledges and payments in one ledger, sponsorships (kiddush, seuda and any other kind), events and tickets, High Holiday seating, mass email and website analytics. Every website payment lands on the right member account automatically, and every page and email carries the shul's own name, not ours.

Key facts:

- Who it is for: synagogues of any size (around 100 to 1,000+ households), their office staff, gabbaim, treasurers and members.
- Price: $500 one-time onboarding, then $100 a month flat for the whole congregation. No tiers, no add-ons, unlimited logins. Card payments: the processor's own rate plus 1%, only when a member pays by card.
- Everything is included at that price: member portal and ledger, the public website and page builder on your own domain, events/tickets/seats, mass email and newsletter, website analytics, the lobby TV screen, seating plans, the member store, and every update.
- Onboarding: we import your members, pledges and payment history, reconcile it against your books and show you the numbers before go-live.
- Payments: card numbers are never stored by Shul Services (tokenised by the processor); cash, cheques, Zelle and bank transfers are recorded by the office and behave the same in the ledger.
- Members who never log in still get statements by email with a personal link to see and pay what they owe, without a password.
- Live demo: https://bethknesset.shulservices.com is a working demo congregation on the platform (website, prayer times, calendar, donations, sponsorships, events, lobby TV). No signup needed.
- Contact: info@shulservices.com, (214) 876-6031 (Sunday to Thursday, 9am to 6pm Central). Book a demo at https://shulservices.com/contact#demo.
