Givelify Tap-to-Give Setup Guide
Already use Givelify for church giving? Add NFC tap-to-give in 3 simple steps. Members tap a disc with their phone and land directly on your Givelify giving page, no app download, no QR scanning.
Why Add NFC to Givelify?
Givelify already gives you a mobile-first giving experience with its 3-tap donation flow, GPS location detection, and integrations with Shelby, ACS Realm, and Church Community Builder. But during a service, there’s still friction. Members have to open an app, search for your church, or remember to give when they get home. Most don’t follow through.
NFC tap-to-give removes that friction entirely. A member taps their phone on a disc and your Givelify giving page opens instantly in their browser. No camera alignment, no URL typing, no app download required. It’s the fastest path from “I want to give” to “I just gave.”

Get Your NFC Giving Discs
You need NFC discs that hold up to weekly church use, attached to chair backs, placed on lobby tables, or displayed at welcome centers. Cheap NFC stickers peel and look unprofessional. Rigid PVC discs last.
The Easy Way
Tap.Giving makes NFC giving discs specifically for churches. You get:
- Custom branded discs with your church logo and design
- Pre-programmed to your Givelify giving URL
- QR code backup printed on every disc for older phones
- Free shipping and no monthly fees, $3.50 to $5.00/disc
The DIY Way
You can buy blank NFC tags (NTAG215 or NTAG216) and program them yourself using the free NFC Tools app (iOS and Android):
- 1. Download NFC Tools on your phone
- 2. Open the app and select “Write” then “Add a record”
- 3. Choose “URL” and paste your Givelify giving link
- 4. Hold your phone to the NFC tag to write the data
- 5. Repeat for every tag
This works, but you’ll spend time programming each tag individually, and plain stickers don’t look as polished as branded discs.
Set Up Your Givelify Giving Link
Your NFC discs need a destination, the page members land on when they tap. With Givelify, this is your Social Giving Link, a direct URL that opens your giving page in any browser.
Finding Your Givelify Giving URL
Log in to analytics.givelify.com
Go to Giving Tools › Online Giving
In the “Your giving link” section, click Copy Link
It looks like: givelify.com/give/your-church-name
Pro Tip
The Social Giving Link works on any device without the Givelify app installed. This is perfect for NFC discs since visitors and first-time givers don’t need to download anything, they tap, the page opens in their browser, and they give.
Ordering from Tap.Giving? Just share your Givelify giving link when you place your order. Your discs arrive pre-programmed and ready to use, no NFC Tools app needed.
Place Discs and Start Collecting
With your NFC discs programmed and your Givelify link ready, place them where people will actually use them. Accessibility is everything.
Best Placement Locations
Every Chair / Pew Back
The most effective placement. Members can give during the offering without leaving their seat.
Lobby / Entrance Tables
Catch people on their way in or out. Visitors who want to give on their first visit can do so easily.
Coffee Bar / Fellowship Area
Casual setting where people already have their phones out. A natural moment for generosity.
Welcome Center
Introduce visitors to your giving platform alongside connection cards and ministry info.
Announce It
The first few weeks, tell your congregation about the discs. A simple “You can now give by tapping your phone on the disc in front of you” during the offering goes a long way. Once people try it, they’ll use it every week.
What Happens When Someone Taps
- 1. Member holds their phone near the NFC disc
- 2. Phone displays a notification with your Givelify link
- 3. They tap the notification and your Givelify giving page opens in their browser
- 4. They choose an amount and complete their gift
The whole process takes under 30 seconds. Phones that don’t support NFC can scan the QR code printed on the disc instead.
Common Questions
Does Givelify have a QR code?
Yes. Givelify offers QR codes for churches, branded Snap to Give, and they are included with your Givelify account at no extra cost. If you want a QR code, you already have one. The reason churches still add tap discs is that a QR and a tap solve the same moment differently: a QR asks the giver to open the camera, frame the code and tap through a browser prompt, while a tap is one motion against the disc. Discs do not replace your Givelify QR, they sit alongside it and point at the same giving page.
Do I need the Givelify app to use NFC tap-to-give?
No. The Givelify Social Giving Link opens directly in the donor’s browser, no app download required. This means visitors, first-time givers, and anyone without the Givelify app can still give by tapping the disc.
Do I need to change anything in Givelify?
No. NFC discs simply open your existing Givelify giving page in the member’s browser. Same account, same payment processing, same reporting dashboard at analytics.givelify.com.
What’s the difference between Tap.Giving discs and Givelify’s own QR codes?
Tap.Giving discs use NFC to open your giving page instantly with a tap, no camera needed, no scanning required. Givelify’s QR codes require members to open their camera app and align the code. NFC is faster and works even in dim lighting during worship.
What phones does it work with?
NFC works on iPhone 7 and newer (iOS 14+), and virtually all Android phones made since 2015. For phones without NFC, the QR code on each disc serves as a backup.
Does this cost anything monthly?
The NFC discs from Tap.Giving are a one-time purchase with no monthly fees. You continue paying whatever you already pay Givelify for their platform, which is also free for organizations (Givelify only charges transaction fees).
Can I use these discs if I switch away from Givelify?
Yes. NFC discs can be reprogrammed to any URL. If you switch to Planning Center, Tithe.ly, Pushpay, Donorbox, or any other platform, just reprogram the discs with your new giving link.
