The System

Two pieces. One seamless experience.

PivotPay is a platform, a church side setup and a parishioner side app that work together.

For Your Church

Onboarding is quick and easy. You sign up in minutes, receive your NFC tags, and configure your giving portal with our help. From day one, your admin dashboard gives you full visibility into every donation in real time.

For Your Congregation

When the donation basket comes around with its NFC tag, members simply tap it with their phone. No app download is required to give. The tag opens a secure web page where they can donate directly to the church. For the most seamless experience, they can download the PivotPay app to save their payment method and give in a single tap every week.

Why PivotPay

Designed to work within your service, not around it

NFC Tap to Give

A single tap on the NFC tag during the offertory opens your church's giving screen instantly. Members can give right in the PivotPay app, or through a secure web page if they haven't downloaded it yet. No typing, no searching, no delay.

App Powered Giving

The PivotPay app lets members save their payment method once and give instantly every week. Apple Pay and Google Pay are both supported for a fast, familiar checkout.

Bank Level Security

Every transaction runs through Stripe, which is PCI DSS Level 1 certified. All data is encrypted end to end, with built in fraud monitoring on every gift.

How It Works

Simple for your congregation. Simple for your team.

PivotPay is designed to fit into the existing rhythm of service. No disruption, no new habits, just a tap.

The Giving Flow

What happens when the basket comes around

The entire experience takes under 10 seconds for any user.

01

Tap the NFC sticker

As the basket or plate is passed around, a PivotPay NFC tag is fitted to it. The member simply taps it with their phone. No unlocking, no searching for an app.

02

App opens instantly

If PivotPay is installed, the app opens directly to your church's giving screen. If not, the sticker takes them straight to a secure web page where they can give right away, with a prompt to download the app afterward.

03

One tap to give

The member selects an amount and confirms with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or their saved card. The donation is processed instantly and a receipt is emailed automatically.


Church Setup

How your church gets started

We handle the technical side. You focus on your community.

01

Sign up & connect

Create your church account and connect your bank through Stripe's secure onboarding. This takes about 10 minutes and requires standard bank information.

02

Receive your NFC tags

We mail you PivotPay NFC tags ready to place on your offering baskets, plates, or kneelers. Each NFC tag is housed in a sturdy, protective case that keeps it safe from damage during regular use, so your church never has to worry about frequent replacements.

NFC & The App

Where the hardware meets the experience

The NFC tag is the bridge between your congregation and a giving experience built for speed and simplicity.

A simple tap

Durable NFC tags, housed in protective cases, fit onto offering baskets, plates, or pew holders. A member taps with their phone and the giving screen opens instantly. No battery, no maintenance.

Straight to your church

Each tag is programmed to open the PivotPay app directly to your church's giving screen, not a generic page. Members in the app can give in a single tap with their saved payment method.

No app needed to give

First time givers do not need to download anything. The tap opens a secure web page where they can donate right away, with a friendly prompt to download the app for an even faster experience next time.

Built to last

The protective cases keep tags safe through regular handling, so churches avoid frequent replacements. If a tag ever needs swapping or reprogramming, we ship a replacement with no service interruption.

NFC-Triggered Giving

Tapping an NFC tag opens the app directly to the right church's giving screen. No searching, no typing a church name, no delay.

Email Receipts

An instant email receipt is sent after every donation with the information needed for personal tax records.

Smart Download Flow

About PivotPay

Helping faith communities thrive in the digital age

PivotPay is a FaithTech company built by entrepreneurs and fintech engineers who believe every faith community deserves modern tools.

Our Story

Born in a pew

PivotPay was founded after a simple observation: congregations were going increasingly cashless, but the offering basket hadn't changed. The gap between how people pay everywhere else and how they give at service was growing, and real generosity was being left behind.

We set out to build something that fits naturally into worship. Not disruptive, not complicated, just a quiet tap that makes giving effortless for the member and visible for the administrator.

Our Mission

To make digital giving as natural as dropping a bill in the basket, while giving faith community administrators the modern tools they need to steward their congregation's generosity well.

Our values
Faith centered design
Security without compromise
Community first support
Simplicity over complexity

Industry

FaithTech meets Fintech

PivotPay sits at the intersection of two movements: the modernization of faith communities and the democratization of financial technology.

FaithTech

We build with deep respect for the spiritual context of worship. Every design decision is made with the service experience in mind.

Fintech

We bring the trust, security, and convenience of modern financial technology to an environment that has historically lacked it.

Mobile-First

The entire giving experience lives in an app that is fast, intuitive, and requires no technical knowledge from the person giving.
