Planning Center Giving
Share Public Pages with QR Codes
Link-sharing is not always the best way for some churches to share public forms, events, or fund pages. So we created an alternative option— QR codes!
Totally Better Totals for Giving
Today we introduced a few new features which we hope will contribute to a clearer picture of how processing fees impact your donations.
Expiring Card Replacements
Giving smooths the transition to a new card if the payment processor does not automatically replace it.
Donor Email Preferences
Donors can opt-out of receiving receipts for donations and choose their preferred email address for all of their notifications.
Tracking Disputed Donations
Even though disputed donations are uncommon, Planning Center Giving will help you track every dispute accurately and responsibly in your books.
Improved Donation Tracking
Giving updated the status stamps for donations, added filters for you to customize your Dashboard, and a brand new “Cancel donation” feature for donors.
Cover The Processing Fee
You can choose to give your donors the option to cover the processing fees associated with their online donations in Giving!
Experience the Embeddable Giving Form
You can now embed the entire donor experience right on your church website, so people never have to leave your site to give.
Payment Sources and the Giving API
The Giving API is open for business! We're also introducing Payment Sources - a new way of tracking donations that came through an external donation system.
Giving Comes to Canada
O Canada! We are so excited today to bring Planning Center Giving to our northerly neighbors. As of today, Canadian churches are welcome to sign up.
Recurring Donation Forecasts
Giving now calculates basic forecasting numbers based on your active recurring donations. The forecast can also be broken down by fund.
Apple Pay for Giving
Planning Center Giving customers can now enable Apple Pay for their donors. It's a simple, fun, secure way to give using iPhone, iPad, and Safari.
Detailed Stripe Transfers in Giving
Get the complete picture of what's happening when money gets deposited from Stripe and track donations all the way through until they're deposited.
Printable Views in Giving
Today, you'll find that Planning Center Giving plays a little nicer with your old friend: the printer.
Faster, Flexible Batches
Before the year's end, we took a moment to improve the Batches system in Planning Center Giving. Now they're faster, more intuitive, and more flexible.
Viewing, Exporting, and Contacting Donors
Now you can quickly get to your list of donors, download it as a CSV, or email the entire list right from Giving.
Text-to-Give is Now Free
That's right. It was an addon. Now it's not. It used to cost extra. Now it costs $0.
Announcing Text-to-Give
It's here! Text-to-Give is easy to set up, fun, and it's the fastest and most spontaneous way for your donors to give.
Instant Bank Account Verification
Your donors can now set up bank transfer donations (ACH) by logging into their bank instead of using bank account and routing numbers.
Make A Statement!
Statements can be emailed, hand-delivered, or mailed. No matter when you issue statements or how you deliver them, Giving has you covered.
Split-Fund Donations
Split-fund donations allow your donors to give to different funds in a single donation. It's easy for your donors and it minimizes processing fees.
