Giving online and by text.  Upgrades.

Written by Boyd Pelley | 4/18/17 1:00 PM
 
Generally, we release just a couple of really major upgrades a year.  This is one you don't want to miss.  If you're not the staff person in charge of finances, please forward this to them.  They will love you for it.
  
Why should you consider adding or changing to Churchteams online giving and text to give?
  1. Stewardship grows.  Convenience and consistency increase giving.
  2. Seamlessly integrated.  Contributions automatically post to donor's giving record.
  3. Save money.  On monthly access and per transaction fees.
  4. State of the art simple.
  5. Service you know and trust.
 
What do these upgrades look like?  
 
Online giving
  • Updated user interface. Simple and streamlined for mobile, tablet and desktop browsers.
  • Easy one time giving.  Just name and email required to give.
  • Customizable.  Add your church logo and a custom thank you message.
  • Split designations.  Give to multiple funds/designations in one transaction.  (Saves fees)
  • Recurring giving.  Makes giving more predictable.
  • Donor portal.  Donors easily manage their cards/accounts, see their pledge status, download statements and give again.
