Studio is designed around one principle: your email is your account. Wherever you give — on any Studio-powered church, nonprofit, or ministry — that activity rolls up to one place, automatically.
One identity, many hats
The same email can wear different hats:
- Donor — gifts, recurring schedules, event tickets across every organization
- Team member (if you work at a Studio-using organization) — admin access to its workspace
- Client portal user (if you're a client of a Studio agency)
- Owner of one or more businesses you give as
It's all the same login. Your name, phone, password, and avatar live on a single identity record — edit them once on /account/profile and the change shows everywhere.
What you see in your portal
When you sign in to usestudio.app/account, the dashboard shows:
- YTD and Lifetime giving — totals across every organization you've given to.
- Active recurring — count of all your scheduled gifts in any workspace.
- Events — total tickets you've bought from any Studio event.
- Your organizations — every church or nonprofit you've given to, listed as cards.
- Recent giving — the most recent 10 gifts across the whole platform.
What if I gave as a guest before creating an account?
No problem. When you create your account with the same email, every past gift, recurring schedule, and ticket from any organization automatically links to your new account. You don't have to do anything — Studio matches by email.
What if I used different emails for different gifts?
Studio matches by exact email, so jane@work.com and jane@gmail.com are two separate accounts. If you have history split across two emails:
- Pick which email you want as your main account going forward.
- Email support@usestudio.app with both addresses — we can merge the histories into one.
The Pushpay model
If you've used Pushpay or other church-giving apps, this is the same pattern: one supporter account that follows you across every church or nonprofit on the platform. You don't need a separate login per organization. Wherever you give, your portal updates.
