Good Product...but Pricy
Overall Satisfaction with Pushpay
Pushpay is used as 3rd party payment software in which the organization receives both donations and payments for mission trips etc. It integrates with our church management software, where the contributions are then posted directly to a donor's profile for tax and record purposes.
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.
- Recurring giving schedules allow higher and more consistent electronic giving.
- Time and cost savings with paperless statements.
- The giving directly inside of our Church management platform (CCB) was not a great option as the mobile site was not as robust. Due to previous transitions between church management platforms, we did not want to migrate, giving from one software to another, which is both a detrimental change for users engaged, scheduled giving migrations, and administrative resources internally.
- Online Giving.org was a product that we did not learn about until we had transitioned to Pushpay and is a newer company. That being said, the product is very comparable to Pushpay and also has many features that outperform Pushpay in addition to significantly lower processing fees with no contractual obligation. We are in the process of evaluating whether a transition from Pushpay to Online Giving.Org is better for our organization.
