Five-minute assessment
Assess the likely fit and trade-offs
Directory assessment
GiveTap is a credible UK option when a church needs more than a single website donation button: it combines online pages with QR, NFC, portable card readers and phone-based contactless collection. Its cost depends on the route used, so compare the platform fee, payment-processing fee, hardware charge and VAT across the church's real mix of gifts. The supplier describes Gift Aid configuration and HMRC integration, but the church remains responsible for its declarations, eligibility and claims process.
