Tap-to-give lets someone give by holding their phone near an NFC disc — no cash, no checks, no kiosk. You place Tithely Tap discs around your church (seatbacks, welcome centers, lobbies, offering plates), and link each one to a destination you choose. A person taps their phone, your giving form opens, and the gift takes seconds. The same discs can point to a connect card, an event registration, a digital bulletin, sermon notes, or your church app download instead — you decide what each batch does.

No. There's nothing to download and no account to create — tapping a disc opens the link in the phone's browser, the same way scanning a QR code would. It works on both iPhones and Android devices. One tip for Android users: NFC has to be switched on in quick settings, which is the most common reason a tap doesn't register.

Tap is included with every Tithely Giving account at no extra monthly cost — you only pay for the physical discs. Standard discs are $2.50 each plus shipping with a 50-disc minimum; custom discs featuring your church's logo and branding are $4.00 each plus shipping with a 250-disc minimum. Gifts given through Tap use standard Tithely Giving processing rates (2.9% + $0.30 for card, 1% + $0.30 for ACH), and Cover the Fees™ lets givers pick up that cost so more of every gift goes to ministry.

Yes. Discs are organized into batches, and each batch points to one URL you can edit anytime from the Tap section of your Tithely dashboard. Open the batch, choose Edit Batch Details, enter the new URL, and confirm with the verification code emailed to you — every disc in that batch redirects to the new destination immediately. Because a batch shares a single URL, it's worth planning batches by purpose or location up front: giving discs in one batch, connect-card discs in another.

Discs are 4 inches across and work anywhere people already sit or stand: seatbacks and chair backs, welcome centers, lobby tables, kids check-in, and offering plates or bags. Metal is the one surface to watch — it disrupts the NFC signal, so a metal plate needs a foam spacer or an on-metal NFC tag between the chip and the surface. Adhesive and screw-hole discs are both available, depending on how permanent the placement is.

Standard adhesive and screw-hole discs ship in about 3–5 business days plus transit time, and sample packs go out in 2–3 days. Custom-branded discs take 4–5 weeks after you approve the printed proof, so order those well ahead of a launch Sunday. International orders can take up to 3 weeks. Allow another 3–4 days after ordering for your batches to appear in the dashboard, where you'll set each one's destination URL.
