Text Giving Guide for Donors

Tithely's Text Giving feature makes donating to your church quick and convenient. This guide will walk you through the simple steps to set up and use Text Giving for seamless donations.

Setting Up Text Giving

  1. Text Give to your church’s Text Giving number.
  2. You'll receive a text message containing a personalized link.
    Important: This link is unique to your phone number and should not be shared.
    Example message: "Hi there! Click here (https://tithe.ly/give?sms=1&church_id=(churchID)num=(yourphonenumber) to set up Text Giving to [Church Name]. It's quick and easy!"

  3. Click the provided link.
    If you already have a Tithely account, log in.
    If you're a new user, create an account.
    Best Practice: For a smoother experience, add your preferred payment method(s) to your account before using Text Giving.

  4. Select your preferred payment method within your Tithely account. This step connects your phone number to your account and payment method for future text donations.
  5. Once your account is connected, close the web browser and return to your text messages.
    Important: The setup link is not for making donations. It's solely for connecting your account.
  6. Text an amount to donate:
