About Tap.Giving

Tap.Giving makes physical tap discs rather than a payment system. Each disc is a 4-inch (100 mm) waterproof PVC plate printed with the church's own artwork and fitted with an NFC chip that is programmed with the giving link and then locked so it cannot be rewritten. A phone, iPhone or Android, taps it and the church's giving page opens, and the disc works with platforms such as Tithely, Pushpay and Givelify or any other platform already in use. Discs mount with adhesive or screws on pews or chairs.

Ordering starts with an email address that opens a designer where the church adds its name, colors and logo and sees the exact total for its quantity. The team checks the artwork and giving link and sends a proof, nothing is made until it is approved, and discs usually arrive two to three weeks after approval. The giving platform processes every gift into the church's account and Tap.Giving never touches the money. Pricing is $5 per disc for 100 to 199, $4 for 200 to 399 and $3.50 for 400 or more, with a 100-disc minimum, free shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
