Tap.Giving
In-Person Giving, One Tap
Aplos is a great home for your online fundraising. Add the hardware that sends people to it from the pew, with a single tap. No app.
Tap.Giving works with Aplos. Tap.Giving sells custom NFC plates churches mount on pews and chairs. A congregant taps their phone and your Aplos giving page opens instantly, no app or QR scan needed. Donations still process through Aplos, so your fundraising, reporting, and donor records stay in one place. Tap.Giving is hardware only, sold once from $3.50 per plate, with no monthly or transaction fees.
How It Works With Aplos
Tap.Giving plates are NFC-enabled cards that open any URL when tapped with a phone. Point them at your Aplos giving page. It’s that simple.
Order Your Plates
Choose your quantity. We’ll produce custom-branded NFC plates with your church logo and a backup QR code.
Link to Aplos
Each plate is programmed with your Aplos giving URL. When someone taps, their phone opens your Aplos donation page instantly.
Guests Give Instantly
Visitors tap the plate with their phone. No app download, no account creation. They give through Aplos in under 15 seconds.
Aplos Is Built for Online. But What About Sunday Morning?
Your campaigns, events, and donation forms live online. The people sitting in your sanctuary need a way to reach them without hunting for a link.
First-Time Visitors
First-time guests won’t go searching for your Aplos link. A tap plate takes them directly to your giving page in one tap.
Holiday Crowds
Easter and Christmas Eve bring 2-3x your normal attendance. These guests are ready to give. They just need a frictionless way to do it.
Campaigns & Events
Running a Aplos capital campaign or outreach event? Put a plate on every table so supporters can give the moment they feel moved to.
Why This Combo Just Works
Aplos handles the money
Payment processing, recurring giving, donor management, campaigns, and reporting. Aplos does all of this well. You don’t need another platform.
Tap.Giving handles the first touch
NFC tap plates bridge the physical-to-digital gap. A visitor taps, their browser opens your Aplos page, and they give. No app. No friction.
No double-dipping on fees
Tap.Giving doesn’t charge processing fees, monthly subscriptions, or per-transaction costs. You pay once for the plates and use them forever. All payment processing stays in Aplos.
First-time givers become recurring givers
When a guest gives through your Aplos page via a tap plate, they’re now in your Aplos account. From there, you can nurture them into a recurring donor, all within the platform you already manage.

Common Questions from Aplos Churches
“Do I need to switch away from Aplos?”
No. Tap.Giving plates simply open your existing Aplos giving page. All fundraising, payment processing, and donor records stay in Aplos. Nothing about your setup changes.
“How much is it, and are there monthly fees?”
Plates are a one-time purchase from $3.50 to $4.50 each (100-plate minimum, free shipping). No monthly fees, no setup fees, and no transaction fees from Tap.Giving. Aplos keeps handling payment processing under its own pricing.
“How fast is setup?”
Fast. Tell us your Aplos giving link when you order and we encode every plate before shipping. Delivery is typically 2-3 weeks from artwork approval, with rush service available for a fee. When they arrive you mount them and they work immediately, nothing to install or configure.
“Can I change the giving URL later?”
Yes. Plates ship locked for security by default, but we can ship them unlocked so you can reprogram the link with a free NFC app in seconds. If you expect to change links often, we can point every plate at a go.tap.giving redirect you control (free on 400+ plate orders, $50 a year on smaller orders). Update one link, never reprint a plate.
“Will giving still show up in Aplos's reports?”
Yes. Because donors land directly on your Aplos page, every gift appears in your Aplos dashboard, reports, and donor profiles. Tap.Giving doesn’t provide its own analytics and never touches your donor data. Your reporting stays in one place inside Aplos.
“We already use Aplos for church giving and accounting. Why add tap plates?”
Aplos manages your church's online giving, funds, and accounting. Tap.Giving adds the in-person entry point: mounted NFC plates that open your Aplos giving page with one tap, so guests and members can give during the service without an app. Every gift still records in Aplos exactly as it does today, and there's no per-device subscription.
