TEXT  ANY  AMOUNT  TO   84321  TO  GIVE

If a donor texts any amount (ex. $25) and they've never set up Text-to-Give, they'll be asked to set up a payment method.
Also, a new donor account will be set up for them automatically.

Essentially, Text-to-Give needs three elements:

You can see the setup process in the video. It's easy for donors to set up text to give and although we're showing all the steps in the list below... give it a try yourself. You'll see that it feels a lot more quicker than it reads.

  1.  Send an amount (example: $20) to the short code 84321.  This is a               shared short-code used by other churches in your area. 
  2.  If the number isn't set up for text-to-give, a setup link will be sent                back. Tap the setup link be guided to the next step.
  3.  Select your church. A list of churches in the area will be suggested. If        your phone number is recognized by Planning Center Giving, the                appropriate church will be listed as a "Suggested" organization. 
  4.  Enter your email address and, if prompted, your name.
  5.  Enter the payment method you'd like to use for text-to-give. If you're        already a donor and you've added a payment method before (say, a            bank account for ACH or a credit card) then you can optionally log in        to access your saved payment methods. 
  6.  Complete your initial setup donation. The initial donation, in most              cases, will go to the default fund (usually the "General" fund).                          However, donations can be directed to more specific funds using                keywords.
