Online Giving is Seamless With Givelify
Verified reviewer
- I like that fact that this software allows you give online
- A couple of years ago, an alternative to PayPal was sought after for my church to make online giving less complicated
- Givelify helped us out, and also it's great when you need to check on how much you give, if you want the same amount of donations to recur, and if you want to check information for tax purposes
- There aren't too many cons about the software
- Again it's simple and easy to use

Though I and a few other church members were okay with using PayPal, majority of the church members were not and found it complicated. When Givelify was introduced, many church members found it easier to use. I volunteer as the technology coordinator for my church. Whenever church members came for assistance with paying online, I found showing them around Givelify was easier than with PayPal.

The futuristic way to give
This has definitely provided a more convenient and secure way for everyone to give. If this was a difficult platform then most people would be discouraged. Fortunately that was not the case for us!
- Givelify revived the finances of our ministry
- Since Covid-19, a large chunk of the congregation remained at home and had no way to bring their donations to the church
- Now everyone is able to give from the comfort of their home at any time
- This has also helped the in person members remain socially distant since they can give from their seat as well
- An improvement to the system would be a way to break the total amount you desire to give into different categories when needed
- You literally have to make different transactions if you desire to give in multiple areas

We saved on fees and givelify seemed like a better platform for our ministry.

- I like that you can give and or donate to your church via an app
- I've had a lot of trouble with this app, even after I download it I'm unable to give with out wifi
- This makes it very difficult during offering time if I don't have cash or checks

Efficient product
Givelify has allowed our giving to increase substantially do to ease of use we get donations nationwide now that would not have been possible with Givelify app.
- This software program has made donations receipt, as well as record keeping so efficient
- The software literally dies all the hard work
- It is Agra at product for the cost
- Donors can’t make corrections to their profile after initial set up
- Some donors have multiple profiles as they could not edit a mistake with initial setup
Why they chose it
"With the current pandemic, donors have been able to give from home. The swipe card machine required donors to be present to donate. More donors can give from the ease of app On theirphones."

Black Owned Giving App
Overall, Givelify is a good app. I definitely recommend it to the churches I consult.
- Givelify is easy
- Easy to deploy, easy to manage, and easy for donors
- Being black owned is a bonus
- The one thing I dislike is that Givelify does not offer the OPTION to cover the fees like Tithe
- ly does
- This would give them 10's across the board from me
- Another con is Givelify does not integrate with many church management systems (i
- e BreezeCHMS, Planning Center), which means you need to manually enter/import giving into those systems
Why they chose it
"Black owned. All of the churches I consult with are black, so this is a way to support our community."

Using Givelify for Your Church
Our experience has been that we have gone as a congregation from at first about 5% choosing to use this app to almost 30% using it due to it's user friendliness and convenience.
- The best feature is it's ease of use and the many options you can select on setting up the frequency of your donations/offerings
- Being able to track your giving and having the capability to print reports is an added bonus as well
It would be nice to have more of a direct link than at first to have to search for the organization name so that with one click you are directly at the point of action
Why they chose it
"We liked the overall look and all of the options that were offered by Givelify over the other apps. We also appreciated that their percentage user fee was lower that the competition apps."

Givelify
Overall we are very pleased, but have just started. The customer service is something better than superior. They are quick to respond and the responses make sense. You can tell they actually read the input and then developed the appropriate answer rather than just reading off que cards. Very pleased with the service.
- The software and web site are both easy to use and very well done
- It is simple and straight forward plus it does not cost anything other than processing costs which is very reasonable
- The app is also easy to use and is user friendly
- We just started using it, so I have two things that I think are very bad
- First, the set up is laborious because of all the personal and banking info they company wants
- Instead of telling the user up front what all is required, we go through steps with each step taking a day while we wait on Givelify to accept or reject it
- Then on to the next step with its different documentation requirements
- DO it all at once on one screen and be done with it
- The other thing, which is quite bothersome, is that the app does not give the donor the option of plussing up the donation by the amount of the service charges
- Competitors do that and I was surprised Givelify did not
Why they chose it
"Seemed to be simple and fit our needs without any extra effort."

Manage donations for our community
We have been collecting donations as a goodwill for people of our community in need. We were using physical boxes but malicious people keep robbing it. Therefore, we swwtched to use Facebook's donations system. However, after we realize Givelify has less commision per donation, we switched to it we are happy.
- Givelify charging less fee per donation compared to other providers
- It is recording and reporting is useful
- While we can keep our records to report them to tax office, we can giveour donors receipts of their donations from one place
- Their money processing time is also fast, when we need to cash out, they send it to community bank account just in a day
I wish they have an SMS donations integration with all the mobile phone providers

Finance insight
I truly love it and from this our contributions seem to have increased.
Membership is comfortable with using it and that is very important when we have such a large membership and not able to come together during this tiem
It allowed members to set up duplicate accounts and I had to request help to combine
Switched From
Not able to produce the reports that was requested
Why they chose it
"Our Baptist National Congress advised that we use this"
