How Churches Can Collect Tithes & Offerings on WhatsApp

Your members already tithe. They already use WhatsApp. Why not combine the two? Here's how to set up automated giving on WhatsApp for your church.

Why WhatsApp for Church Giving?

Your congregation is already on WhatsApp. They use it to communicate, share prayer requests, and coordinate events. Now they can give tithes, offerings, seeds, and building fund contributions — right from the same app.

How It Works

  1. Member messages your church's WhatsApp number
  2. They type "pay tithe 5000" (or any amount)
  3. Bot sends a secure payment link (Paystack for Nigeria/Ghana, Stripe for US/UK)
  4. Member pays and gets an instant receipt
  5. Church dashboard shows all contributions with member names and amounts

What You Can Accept

  • Tithes
  • Offerings (first fruit, thanksgiving, etc.)
  • Seeds and pledges
  • Building fund contributions
  • Event registrations (conferences, retreats)
  • Donations from non-members

Features Built for Churches

  • Automatic receipts — sent via WhatsApp instantly after payment
  • Annual giving statements — downloadable for tax purposes
  • Service time reminders — "Sunday Worship at 9 AM tomorrow"
