The following is a list of example 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 text 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. You can customize fund keywords and what fund they point towards. 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. 1 |
update | Allows a donor to update their payment method or recurring gift.2 Your text giving number will respond with a link where users can make these changes. |
unlink | Unlinks a user’s phone from the text-to-give system. If a donor wants to set-up two recurring gifts from two different methods, using “unlink” will allow the donor to set-up a secondary recurring gift from an additional method.4 |
commands | Provides the user with a list of the available generic text commands (will not include the unique specific keywords you have set up for your church) |
