StewardPay is a mobile point-of-sale app for accepting card and mobile wallet payments in person. Use it for donations, merchandise sales, and event payments—keeping staff engaged with your community during transactions.
StewardPay is available to all Giving customers. Simply download the app and follow the steps to get started. You will be charged your normal credit card processing fees.
What You'll Need
- An NFC-enabled iPhone. iPhone 11s and newer have the required NFC hardware, but the newer models are recommended to ensure they can run the latest versions of iOS. Android devices are not supported.
- Administrative access to your ministry's Giving account, or an administrator who can set up the Giving side for you.
- An internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular) on the iPhone.
Important: StewardPay only accepts tap payments (contactless cards and mobile wallets). Swipe and insert (chip) are not supported. Beyond an iPhone, no external hardware is required. StewardPay uses the phone's built-in NFC to accept tap payments.
