Text to Give

TO DONATE BY TEXT
TEXT: (540) 554-6441

To donate by text, a donor simply:

Texts the amount they'd like to give to (540) 554-6441 (e.g. $50). (For more command options, see the section below)
If they've donated by text before, they'll receive a text in response confirming that their gift has been received successfully and they're done.
If it's the first time they are donating by text, they'll be given a link and asked to supply their payment method (credit card, debit card, or bank account). This payment source will then be linked with their phone number so that, in the future, all they will need to do is text in the amount and they will not need to re-enter their payment information.

The following are a list of commands that the text giving system accepts:

Command	Description
$50	Donates $50 to your church. Users can type any amount; the dollar sign is optional (e.g. $50 and 50 both work).
give $50	Same as above.
give	Your online giving number will respond asking how much you'd like to give. Telling people to text 'give' to your number can be a more succinct way to communicate text giving.
$50 missions	Donates $50 to the missions fund. (Note: Donors can only give to one fund at a time.)
$50 weekly	Sets up a recurring gift of $50 each week. Frequency options are 'weekly', 'biweekly', 'monthly', and 'yearly'.
$50 missions weekly	Sets up a recurring gift of $50 each week to the missions fund. Frequency options are 'weekly', 'biweekly', 'monthly', and 'yearly'.
refund	Refunds the previously given contribution. (Donors can only refund their own gift with this command within 24 hours of giving the gift. If the previously given contribution started a recurring gift, the recurrence will also be canceled.)
update	Allows donor to update their payment method or recurring gift. Your text giving number will respond with a link where users can make these changes. (You can only update recurring gifts via text when the recurring gift was established via text giving.)
unlink	Unlinks a user's phone from the text to give system.
commands	Provides the user with a list of the available text commands.
