How it works
It is very easy to accept
electronic card payments at your church.
- The church member or
visitor completes the Electronic Donation Payment Authorization
Form and puts it in the
offering plate or submits it to the treasurer.
- The
Secretary/Treasure logs on to MyChurchDonations.com
Website, enters the amount donated, enters the debit or credit card information, clicks
on a button to initiate the electronic payment or submit the charge.
- A receipt for the donation is given to the person.
It is even easier to
receive the funds.
- Within seconds the
member’s debit or credit card will be verified and debited or charged, and a message will be sent to your screen indicating the acceptance or rejection
of each submission.
- Seven to ten
business days latter, those funds will be deposited directly into
your bank account by electronic
transfer.
The
Secretary/Treasurer can at any time check on the status of a debits and charges
submitted and examine an online summary
of the church’s account. This
is accomplished by logging on to the protected Account
History page on the Website. The accounting information can also be
down loaded for use in your accounting software.
Accept
online donations at any time.
Your
members can make donations
and payments to your church at anytime by visiting our Website and clicking on the Make an Online Donation link
on the Home page.

How to Become a
Participating Church
Each
participating Church must:
- Make a formal decision to become a participating Church. (Example
Board Resolution Document, better quality PDF
version.)
- Complete the registration
form (Registration
Form).
- Accept the terms of the Service
Agreement (Church
Agreement).
- Send us a voided check, and the
completed Authorization
and Agreement Form PDF
version.
The check identifies the account into which collected funds will be
electronically deposited. Laws and credit card association rules
require that unresolved disputed charges be returned. This is called
a charge back. If the disputed funds have been deposited into a
church’s account, funds will automatically be withdrawn from the
account to cover the charge back expenses.
Once
the above is completed and submitted your account will be established.
You will be notified when it is ready for use.
