What Txt2Give is
Txt2Give lets churches and nonprofits accept donations by text: donors send a keyword and amount from their phone’s messaging app, without downloading an app or creating an account. The platform handles payment processing and sends automatic emailed receipts. Donors can schedule gifts weekly, every two weeks, monthly, or on the 1st and 15th. Plans include unlimited causes and keywords, a branded online giving page, a real-time dashboard and reporting. Named integrations include Planning Center, FellowshipOne and Community Church Builder; other connections can be made through export. Txt2Give lists English, French and Spanish support, and Android, iOS and web platforms. The free Donor-Supported Plan prompts donors for a 15% tip, then 5%; a 1% fee applies only if donors decline both. The Flat Rate Plan costs $25 /month + 1%, with no donor tip prompt. Both plans also have Stripe processing fees of 2.3% + $0.30/transaction. Txt2Give says Stripe tokenizes card details rather than storing them on its servers. Push messaging is a separately priced add-on requiring regulatory approval.
