Church Software UK

Software category

Online giving

Services that help churches accept, record and reconcile card, bank or digital donations, sometimes alongside Gift Aid administration.

Online giving software can make donations easier to receive and record. It does not replace charity accounting controls, independent reconciliation or the church’s responsibility to obtain valid Gift Aid declarations.

When a specialist system may not be needed

If most giving already arrives through standing orders and the church has a sound reconciliation process, another payment platform may add cost without solving a meaningful problem.

Questions to ask

  • What reaches the church after every fee?
  • How are refunds, failed payments and chargebacks handled?
  • Can transactions be exported in a useful accounting format?
  • Does the Gift Aid workflow match current HMRC requirements?
  • Who can see donor information and change fund allocations?

Selection criteria

  • Complete transaction and subscription cost
  • Reconciliation, reporting and export workflow
  • Donor experience and payment methods
  • Access controls and audit history
