Examples and best practices for your website while you transition your giving.
Here are the basics that should be on your website as you transition:
-
Add your new giving link
-
Explain the transition: have pastor or team sourcing the new giving software write content or an article explaining the vision and process
-
Make sure new recurring gifts cannot be created on the old platform, but that existing recurring gifts to your old platform can be cancelled easily
