A ministry donation that brings an ad-free subscription
“Support & Go Ad Free” over a painted portrait of Jesus: a named ministry, “By supporting … you give to a ministry to spread the love of Jesus. As a gift to you, you get an Ad Free Subscription to Pray Premium.” Monthly or Yearly, then a “Most Popular” option, “Super donor $29.99/mo · 1 Ads Free Subscription”, a custom amount and Continue.
Design takeaway
A gift that buys something is a purchase: Apple asks for in-app purchase when a gift is tied to content, and tax rules treat it as goods received. Keep the price and the gift apart.

Giving and offerings
From leaving giving to the church, through a quiet way to give, the church’s offering in the app, a regular gift and showing what a gift does, to a gift tied to an ad-free app and, as the warning case, pressure and promises: decide where the ask appears, what is chosen for the giver, and what the app says a gift will do.

From opening on a passage, a prayer or a question box with nothing asked, through a first page of places to start, guest use and a short tour, to questions first and payment before the first use: decide what a new person must give, and when, before they reach what they came for.
