Text to Give is an add-on feature in the Aplos Software Suite.
Here's how this feature can help your organization:
Offer the convenience of mobile giving so people can give from anywhere
Provide the digital tools your people need to give anytime, whether they are attending a church service or fundraising event, they're on vacation, or they're at home.
Make giving simple for those who don't carry cash or checks
People can use their phones to give tithes or one-time offerings spontaneously when they are in the moment. They can also choose to cover the transaction fees.
Easy for churches to implement and easy for people to use
With one text message, users can set up their first gift in seconds. Each gift after that can be given by sending a single text from their cell phone.
Accept one-time offerings or recurring giving, and offer the option for people to pay transaction fees
People can give one time, set up recurring giving, choose the frequency of their gifts, and designate purposes directly from their mobile phones.
It also works seamlessly with your Aplos accounting!
