Summary: This guide clarifies that donors can make one-time or recurring donations through a church or organization's Tithely web giving form without needing to create a Tithely account. It provides step-by-step instructions for giving as a guest, while also outlining the benefits of setting up an account.
Before You Begin
Mobile App & Text-to-Give Requirement: You can donate, register, or pay via the web giving form without signing up for a Tithely account. However, in order to use text-to-give or the Tithely mobile app, an account is required.
Giving Records: Any donation made as a guest will still be saved under the email and payment method you provide for giving record purposes.
Step-by-Step Instructions
How to Give Without an Account (Guest Donation)
If you prefer not to create an account, you can quickly make a one-time or recurring donation by manually entering your details.
Go to your church or organization's website and locate their Give button, or visit give.tithe.ly and search for your church.
Once the Giving Form loads, simply begin filling out the required fields:
Giving Amount
Giving Fund (e.g., General, Tithe, Missions)
Recurring Frequency (select "One-time" or choose a recurring schedule)
Contact Details (Name, Email, and Phone Number)
Payment Method (Credit/Debit Card or Bank Account)
Review your information and click the Give button at the bottom of the form.
You will receive a confirmation screen and an email receipt once your gift has been processed.
The Benefits of Creating an Account
While guest giving is easy, creating an account unlocks several helpful features to manage your giving moving forward. If you'd like to make giving as seamless as possible and take advantage of all Tithely features, you can create an account by heading to give.tithe.ly and clicking Sign Up.
The following features become available to you with an account:
Securely store your payment method (so you don't have to manually type out your card or bank info each time you give).
Setup or cancel a recurring donation at your convenience.
See your full giving history across all your donations.
Manage your account 24/7 directly from the web or the mobile app.
