A guest taps a disc with their phone and your giving page opens, ready for their gift. No app to install, nothing to mount in a building you do not own, and no link to read out loud. Put one everywhere your church gathers, from the sanctuary of an established congregation to the first rented room of a new affiliate.

Tap.Giving makes custom NFC tap-to-give discs for churches, and this page is written for churches in Calvary Chapel, the loose association of evangelical churches that began with one congregation in Costa Mesa, California in 1965 and now counts roughly 900 to 1,000 affiliated churches across the United States by directory counts, a figure that varies by source. A church orders discs printed with its own artwork, places them where people gather (welcome tables, chair backs, lobby signage, the portable kit that rolls into a rented venue), and every tap or scan opens the church's giving page. Discs cost $5.00 each for 100 to 199, $4.00 for 200 to 399, and $3.50 for 400 or more, one time, with free shipping and no monthly fees. Every disc carries a locked NTAG213 chip and a printed QR code to the same destination, and the church can change where taps land at any time in the free Redirect Dashboard. One plain note: this page is a resource for Calvary Chapel churches, and Tap.Giving is not affiliated with or endorsed by Calvary Chapel Association.
Calvary Chapel began in 1965, when pastor Chuck Smith took over a small congregation in Costa Mesa, California and opened its doors to the young people of the Jesus People movement. The church grew, and planted and affiliated churches spread the model across the country and around the world: verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter teaching through the whole Bible, contemporary worship, and a deliberately informal welcome.
Calvary Chapel churches are independent and self-governing, affiliated through the Calvary Chapel Association rather than governed as a denomination, and many feel more like a family of independent congregations than a denomination at all. New churches are still being planted and affiliated, and each one runs its own services, studies, and outreaches in its own community.
A Calvary Chapel service is built around the teaching: chapter by chapter, verse by verse, often with the whole congregation following along in their own Bibles. The giving moment sits inside that flow, and it has to work for the longtime member and the first-time guest alike. A link on a screen works until the service moves fast, the venue changes, or a first-time guest has no idea what your giving URL is.
A disc removes the friction everywhere it sits. The destination lives in the dashboard and not on the disc, so the same discs keep working as your church plants, moves, and multiplies.
Between the worship and the teaching, a disc on the chair back or at the end of the row lets anyone give in the moment, without an app or a link read out loud. The same discs serve the midweek study and the weekend services, all pointing at the one giving page.
School gyms, theaters, and hotel ballrooms share one rule: nothing permanent goes in. Discs ride on the signage, banners, and giving stations your setup team already rolls in and tears down, so the giving point is up before the first song and gone with the trailer.
A new Calvary Chapel plant or affiliate usually starts borrowed: a rented hall, a school, a storefront. Discs printed with the new church's own artwork ride in with the portable setup, so the congregation has a real giving point from its first Sunday, long before it has a building of its own.
The next-steps table is where a guest decides what happens next. A disc there turns a good conversation into a first gift and a real connection, while the moment is still warm.
Approve your free proof, pick round or square, and order 100 or more. Pricing is one-time, shipping is free, and most orders arrive about 2 to 3 weeks after artwork approval.
Stick discs on welcome tables, chair backs, lobby signs, and portable giving stations. The 3M adhesive backing is standard, table stands suit rented rooms, and optional screw holes suit permanent mounting once you have a permanent home.
A tap or scan opens your giving page. Your giving platform takes the gift and issues the receipt. Tap.Giving never touches the money.
Most iPhones from the iPhone XR onward and most Android phones from the last several years read NFC with no app. The printed QR code covers every other phone, and both go to the same page.
Tap.Giving sells hardware only. We are not a payment processor, and no gift ever passes through us. The disc opens a page; everything after that belongs to the giving platform your church already uses.
That means your platform keeps handling the gift itself, the card details, the receipt, and the donor record in your church's systems. Nothing about your giving operation changes except how people reach the page.
It also means our pricing stays simple: one one-time price for the discs. No percentage of gifts, no per-gift fee, no monthly subscription, and nothing taken out of what your people give.
If people gather there, a disc belongs there. Churches place them anywhere a welcome already happens:
An independent congregation changes on its own timeline: a plant outgrows its rented hall, an established church adds a service or a campus, a fellowship moves across town. Printed pieces usually die at every change: the giving card names the old platform, the sign names the old venue. Discs are the one printed piece that survives, because nothing about the destination is printed on them.
Order for the room you meet in today, and the same discs serve the first permanent sanctuary and the affiliate your church helps start next. When the church's shape changes, you change a setting, not a print run.
Every Tap.Giving disc includes the Redirect Dashboard, free, for as long as you own the discs. When your church needs taps to land somewhere new, sign in and change the destination. The change takes effect in seconds, there is no limit on how often you change it, and the discs in the field never need to be touched.
Growing churches live on changing links: a launch page gives way to an everyday giving page, a campus gets its own fund, a platform migration moves everything. Your printed discs survive all of it, because the destination lives in the dashboard rather than on the disc.
Destinations can be set per disc or per group, so the discs at your original campus can open a different page from the discs in the launch kit.
Some phones cannot read NFC, and some people simply prefer to scan. Every disc therefore carries a printed QR code next to the tap point, and both open the same destination.
Nothing is lost either way: the QR code is printed as part of your artwork, follows the destination whenever you change it in the dashboard, and never needs a separate sign or card.
Pricing is one-time and published:
The minimum order is 100 discs, because every disc is custom printed with your church's artwork. That minimum deserves a plain word: a hundred discs suits a church with real rooms to fill, such as a launch with hundreds of seats, a portable setup with signage in every corner, or more than one campus. If your fellowship is still a small plant meeting in a living room, a printed QR code on a sign may honestly cover it for now, and we would rather tell you that than sell you discs you will not place.
There are no setup fees, no monthly fees, and no per-gift fees. Shipping is free. Most orders arrive about 2 to 3 weeks after artwork approval, as an estimate rather than a promise, and there is no rush service. Every order is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
There are no samples, because every disc is custom printed. Instead, you approve a free design proof of your actual artwork before anything is produced, so you see exactly what your discs will look like.
No. This page is a resource we wrote for churches in Calvary Chapel. Tap.Giving is not affiliated with Calvary Chapel Association and is not endorsed by Calvary Chapel Association. We make tap-to-give discs for any church; this page simply explains why they fit the way Calvary Chapel churches teach, gather, and plant.
100 discs. Every disc is custom printed with your church's artwork, so production starts at 100. Pricing is $5.00 a disc at 100 to 199, $4.00 at 200 to 399, and $3.50 at 400 or more.
About 2 to 3 weeks from artwork approval. That is an estimate, not a promise, and there is no rush service, so order ahead of the launch Sunday or move you want them for. Shipping is free.
Yes, any time, in the free Redirect Dashboard. Changes take effect in seconds and there is no limit on how often you change. Point every campus at one giving page today, then give a new campus its own page next month, without reprinting anything.
Yes. Nothing is installed in the building. Discs ride on the signage, banners, and giving stations your team already sets up and tears down, using the standard 3M adhesive backing or the table stands. When you move venues, the discs move with you.
Any of them. The disc opens whatever giving link you give it, for example a Tithely, Pushpay, or Subsplash giving page. If your church changes platforms, update the destination in the dashboard and the same discs keep working.
They are waterproof PVC, 0.85 mm thick with a matte finish, and the NTAG213 chip inside is locked. The 3M adhesive backing is standard for signs, counters, and chair backs, and optional pre-drilled screw holes suit permanent mounting once you have a permanent home.
Every order is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If the discs are not right for your church, contact us within 30 days for a refund.
