Give by scanning a church's QR code

Churches and ministries can print a giving QR code in the bulletin, on a sign or on the screen. Scanning it opens the Christian.com giving page with that organization already chosen, so you go straight to the gift form.

Give with the QR code

1. Open your phone's camera and point it at the QR code. Tap the link that appears. It opens christian.com/give with the organization already chosen.
2. The gift form, Give to [organization], opens on its own. If the organization has written how it uses gifts, you'll see that at the top.
3. Under Frequency, choose One time or Monthly.
4. Pick an amount, or enter Other amount (USD).
5. Leave the card processing box ticked if you want the organization to receive the full amount, or untick it. See Cover the card processing fee.
6. Tap Give and pay on the secure checkout. Gifts are paid by card.

When it goes through, you'll see a thank-you message, and Stripe emails your receipt.

Want it on your statement?

Sign in before you give, and the gift is added to your giving history and yearly statement at /giving. If you scanned the code and aren't signed in, sign in first, then scan again or reopen the link. See Give as a guest or signed in.

If the form doesn't open

If the page shows the list of organizations instead of the gift form, that organization isn't accepting gifts on Christian.com right now. Check with the church, or look for it under Organizations accepting gifts later.

Other ways to reach the same form

• On a church's Christian.com site, open its Give page and click Give to [church].
• On /give, find the organization and click Give.

Good to know

• The QR code only opens a web page. You never pay by scanning; you pay on the secure checkout afterward.
• Christian.com takes no platform fee on gifts. Gifts go straight to the organization through Stripe.
