In my opinion, Find a different platform!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have used Pushpay for our donor giving management platform for ~8 years. They process all of our general and designated giving payments as well as our registration income for various events put on by our youth, kids, and adult ministry groups. They also manage your donor giving records for year-end receipts.
Pros
- Robust platform
- Known name
Cons
- COST!
- Customer service
- Elimination of contracts
Return on Investment
- Pushpay served as a fine giving platform and allowed for our church to move digitally well.
- However, the inordinate fees and costs of their platform ate away at much too large of our donations. With the other platforms out there, it doesn't make sense for us to lock into contracts with excessively high fees.

Good Product...but Pricy
Pros
- User Friendly
- Secure
Cons
- Cannot give to more than one fund in a single transaction.
- Cannot pull data from the church management software. Therefore, if donors give electronically and via cash or check (which is processed directly in Church management software), the donor cannot run one giving statement through Pushpay, which includes all of their gifts. Pushpay does allow check and cash scanning through their platform which can resolve the statement issue, however, they do not have image scanning software, therefore, a visual copy of checks or cash envelopes cannot be exported or retrieved.
Return on Investment
- Recurring giving schedules allow higher and more consistent electronic giving.
- Time and cost savings with paperless statements.
