Apple Pay Donor Experience
Donating through Apple Pay is simple for your Donors. They’ll simply enter a donation amount, select a Fund, then choose Apple Pay from the Payment Options. Keep in mind that Apple Pay is only available to donors who access the Giving Form from an Apple Device.
After entering their Name and Email address, they’ll click the Continue with Apple Pay button, and finish their transaction from the Apple Pay wallet window. If they do not already have a card on file, they’ll have to option to add one there.
Apple Pay Reporting
Apple Pay transactions will appear the same way all other transactions appear in the Transaction Report. Apple Pay will be indicated in the Payment Source column. They can also be refunded in the same way that all other transactions are.
Important Notes
- Please note that Apple Pay cannot be enabled if our updated Terms of Service are not agreed to.
- Apple Pay is designed to be used on Apple Devices only, therefore it will not appear on any non-Apple mobile devices, or any desktop computer browser besides Safari.
- At this time, Recurring Giving, Pledges, or Partial Payments cannot be scheduled or processed using Apple Pay. If a Donor has selected to create a Recurring Gift, Apple Pay will automatically be removed as a payment option in the billing section.
- Apple requires that all URLs using Apple Pay are registered with Apple. Ministry Brands has registered all Direct Form link URLs. If your Giving Form is embedded on your church website Apple Pay will NOT appear on that version.
