Once you activate your Giving account, you’re ready to start accepting gifts. Faithlife Giving provides a range of ways donors can give to your organization: via Faithlife.com, a Faithlife Site, any non-Faithlife site, a direct link, or via text. 

Faithlife.com

When you activate Faithlife Giving, a Give button is added to your church’s page on Faithlife.com. Donors can click this button to access the giving form.

A Faithlife Sites website

If your church website is built using Faithlife Sites, a draft Give page is automatically added to your website. Select the settings icon to view the page's settings.

Expand the Page Status dropdown and change it to Published

Make sure to click Publish changes in the top right corner.

Once the page is live, donors can navigate to this page to access the embedded giving form.
