Questions, answered plainly.

If your question is not here, email support@pastornest.com and a person will reply.

Getting started

Do I need a card to see my preview?

No. The preview is free, and claiming it starts a 14-day free trial. The trial never charges you automatically; a paid plan starts only when you choose one.

How do you make my preview?

You send us a link to your teaching: a YouTube channel, podcast, church page or current website. We draft a private preview from that public work, with your sermons, writing and bio arranged in one of our designs.

What if I already have a church website?

Keep it. Pastor Nest is a personal site for your teaching, books and speaking. Your church site stays the home for your congregation, and you can link the two.

Do I need technical skills?

No. If you can write an email, you can edit your site. We prepare the first draft for you, and on the Care plan we make updates for you as well.

Your site

Can my assistant edit it?

Yes. Invite an editor from your workspace. Editors help with content; only you, as the owner, manage billing and access.

Can you change what I teach?

No. You approve every word. Nothing is published until you release it, including updates we prepare on the Care plan.

Can I use my existing giving platform?

Yes. Add a link to the giving platform you already use, and to your booking or newsletter services too. We do not process donations.

Do you host video?

No. Sermons play from YouTube in its privacy-enhanced mode. Paste a YouTube link, or connect a channel or playlist, to add sermons to your library.

Can I bring in my podcast?

Yes. Add the RSS feed of a show you own and episodes arrive in your library as drafts.

Can I change the design later?

Yes, at any time. Every design reads from the same content, so switching loses nothing. Browse the designs.

Billing

How much does it cost?

Website is A$49 a month and Care is A$99 a month, GST included. Care adds up to four supplied-content updates each month. Compare the plans.

Is there a contract?

No. Plans are month to month and you can cancel at any time from your settings.

Who bills me?

Paddle is our merchant of record. Paddle processes your payment, handles GST and issues your invoice.

When can I pay?

This is pilot pricing. Checkout opens to pilot customers once their preview is claimed.

What about refunds?

Refunds follow our Refund Policy. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law always apply.

Domains

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. We connect your domain for you. You register and pay for it separately with your registrar, and it stays in your name.

What address do I get without a domain?

Your site is published at yourname.pastornest.com over HTTPS. You can add your own domain at any time.

Privacy and previews

Who can see my preview?

Only people with the private link. Previews are unlisted, are not in search results and are labelled as unofficial until you claim them.

How do I have a preview removed?

Email support@pastornest.com, or use the removal link on the preview itself. You do not need to claim or buy anything to ask.

Will you post anything on my behalf?

No. We never post to social media or anywhere else for you, and nothing on your site goes live until you release it.

What do you do with my data?

We use it to run your site. We do not sell personal information, use third-party analytics or set advertising cookies. The details are in our Privacy Policy.

Ownership

Who owns the site and its content?

You do. Your words, photos and domain stay yours.

Can I export my content?

Yes. Use “Download my content” in your settings at any time to save your content as a file.

What happens if I cancel?

Your site stays online until the end of the period you have paid for. After that we keep your drafts and media for 30 days so you can retrieve them, then delete them. Your domain stays yours to use elsewhere.

What happens if Pastor Nest stops?

Your domain is registered in your name and you can download your content at any time. If we ever discontinue a paid service, our terms commit us to a refund for any unused prepaid period and a chance to export your content.

The easiest answer is to see it.

Send us a link to your work and we will draft your private preview. It is free and needs no card.
