Places of worship of every faith rely on giving from their members, from weekly offerings to special appeals for a new roof, a festival or families in need. Many also collect money for events, trips, classes and weddings. Much of it is still cash in a collection plate or box, which takes time to count and bank, and people who forget their cash or give from afar have no easy way to give. A payments app that offers a simple giving link, separate links for appeals and events, and a clear record of what came in can win these communities, and every member who gives sees your app.

Run appeals and events
A separate link for each appeal or event keeps the money apart and shows everyone how close the appeal is to its goal.
Grow through the congregation
Congregations are full of traders, tradespeople and small business owners. When they give through your app, they see how it could work for their own customers.
