No app to install, no link to read out loud, and nothing to mount that a congregation cannot carry to its next room.

Tap.Giving makes custom NFC tap-to-give discs for churches, and this page is written for churches in the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), a confessional Lutheran synod whose denominational yearbook counts about 1,250 congregations and about 335,000 members. A church orders discs printed with its own artwork, places them where people gather (welcome tables, chair backs, lobby signage, school entrances and fellowship halls), 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 WELS churches, and Tap.Giving is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS).
The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS) is a confessional Lutheran synod founded in 1850 in Milwaukee, holding to Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions, with worship that is structured and liturgical in most congregations. Its denominational yearbook counts about 1,250 congregations and about 335,000 members, organized through districts that support congregations in their regions. To be plain about identity: WELS is a separate synod from the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS), another confessional Lutheran body with its own page here, and it is also distinct from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). This page is about WELS alone.
Alongside its congregations, WELS carries one of the largest Lutheran school systems in the United States, with hundreds of elementary schools and a network of high schools, so many of its churches live a double life: Sunday worship and a weekday school, with the same families moving through both. Stewardship teaching runs through that life, and giving is taught as a regular part of it.
A WELS congregation gathers around Word and Sacrament on Sunday, then fills the same campus with schoolchildren, choirs, and Bible classes all week. The giving moment has to work in every one of those rooms. 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 hosts the district, opens a school year, or changes giving platforms.
Liturgical services move at their own pace, and the offering is a taught part of the service, not an interruption. Discs on chair backs and pew ends let a member or guest give quietly in that moment, without downloading an app or hunting for a link.
Many WELS churches share a building with a Lutheran elementary school. Discs at the school entrance and office can point to a school support page during the week, then return to Sunday giving in the dashboard, with no new printing.
Congregations meet through districts for conventions, conferences, and joint services. Discs at welcome and registration tables open the page the host chooses for that gathering, then go back to Sunday giving when it ends.
School concerts, open houses, and community events bring guests who may never attend on Sunday. Discs at event tables and entrances open the page you choose for that audience, set per group in the dashboard.
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:
A WELS church can host a district event, open a school year, or change giving platforms in the same season it marks a century in its neighborhood. 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 rooms you have today, and the same discs serve the sanctuary, the fellowship hall, and the school entrance. When the destination 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.
Churches live on changing links: a school campaign gives way to everyday giving, a district event gets its own page, 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 in your sanctuary can open a different page from the discs at your school entrance.
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 sanctuary and fellowship hall, a congregation that also runs a school, or a church that hosts district and conference gatherings. If your congregation is still small and gathers in one 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 the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). Tap.Giving is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). We make tap-to-give discs for any church; this page simply explains why they fit WELS congregations and schools, from Sunday liturgical worship to the weekday school day.
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 Sunday or school event 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 disc at one giving page today, then point a school campaign or a district event at its own page next month, without reprinting anything.
No. WELS and the LCMS are separate confessional Lutheran synods, each with its own leadership, schools, and publications, and the LCMS has its own page here. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is a third, separate Lutheran body. This page is written for churches in the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Tap.Giving makes discs for any church, whichever synod it belongs to, and the discs work the same either way.
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.
