Two ways to use SG360
Complement Planning Center
Keep PCO for services, giving, and check-ins. Use SG360 specifically for small group management with deeper features than PCO Groups offers — role-based dashboards, detailed reports, content library, and internal notifications.
Best for: Churches already invested in the PCO ecosystem
Replace multiple PCO modules
SG360 bundles groups, attendance, reporting, and communication into one subscription. A mid-size church using PCO Groups + Check-ins + Services could pay $80–$150/mo. With SG360, that's $49/mo.
Best for: Churches looking to simplify and save
How the sync works
Connecting SG360 to Planning Center takes three simple steps.
Connect your account
In SG360 settings, click 'Connect Planning Center' and authorize access. Takes less than a minute.
Map your groups
SG360 detects your PCO groups and lets you map them to SG360 groups. Choose which ones to sync.
Sync runs automatically
Member data syncs bidirectionally. Add a member in SG360 and they appear in PCO, and vice versa.

Integration FAQ
- Do I need a Planning Center account to use SG360?
- No. SG360 works perfectly as a standalone platform. Planning Center integration is an optional feature for churches that already use PCO and want to connect their data.
- Which Planning Center modules does SG360 integrate with?
- SG360 currently integrates with Planning Center People (member directory). This allows bidirectional sync of member profiles, contact information, and group assignments.
- Is the sync real-time?
- The sync runs periodically (every few hours) and can also be triggered manually from SG360 settings. This ensures data stays consistent without overloading either system.
- What data gets synced?
- Member names, email addresses, phone numbers, and group assignments. Attendance data, prayer requests, and SG360-specific features stay within SG360.
- Can I use SG360 for groups and PCO for everything else?
- Absolutely — that's one of the most common setups. Churches use PCO for services, giving, and check-ins, and SG360 specifically for small group management. The member sync keeps both systems aligned.
- Which SG360 plans include Planning Center sync?
- PCO sync is included in Growth ($49/mo), Pro ($99/mo), and Enterprise ($199/mo) plans. The Starter plan does not include PCO integration.
- What if I want to migrate from PCO to SG360 completely?
- You can! Connect your PCO account, sync all your member data into SG360, and then disconnect when you're ready. Your data lives in SG360 from that point forward.
