  1. You need a number on the church

    Text giving uses a texting number your church rents. The number is a small monthly charge of its own, separate from your plan, set up under Give → Text giving on the website.

    Text giving: You need a number on the church
  2. Keyword and consent

    If you advertise “text GIVE to …”, that word is the consent. Set the keyword on the church. Blank means there is no live subscribe word.

  3. First-time givers

    They get a link to finish setup (card, name). After that, a text amount is enough. The gift still attaches to a Core person.

  4. When not to use it

    If the church has not connected Stripe or opened giving, do not print the number. The text will not be able to complete.
