By Popular Demand: Online Giving Without Account

You asked. We listened. Here it is.

Providing the convenience of online giving options and encouraging people to grow in their stewardship by giving regularly are key parts of a successful giving strategy. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the option to give online without first creating an account!


It’s something our customers requested as a way to remove all barriers to giving. Online Giving Without Account does that by letting churches:

  • Turn on the ability for donors to make a contribution without creating an account
  • Activate a unique URL that can be included in an email or social media, taking people directly to a “Give Now” page that does not require members to log in
  • Provide access to a “Give Now” link on the portal home page that will be visible to users not logged in
  • Enable giving on a mobile device (not yet available when giving while logged in)

Of course, we still include the option for donors to create an account at the end of the transaction process. This will give them the added ability to schedule future giving and view their giving history.

Your turn: Is this something your members or visitors have been wanting?
