	GivingTools: Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Fantastic platform at an exceptional rate. Very glad they do not offer the deceptive and immoral "tips" practice that so many other donation platforms utilize. Oh, and the customer service is outstanding! Simple to use, feature rich. Support has been easy to communicate with. This integrates well with other solutions. I think GivingTools is outstanding for both administrators and users. I love that: • It provides for a 30-day demo that will not generate any real payments, but allows a potential customer the opportunity to both set up a customized look and feel, as well as experience the Donor’s side of transactions; • Appeals are easy to set up, edit, or rearrange on the giving page; • It provides the option for donor-covered fees, or they can be required to be covered; • It provides the option to discourage credit card use - or not, such as when Stripe waived fees for non-profits at the beginning of the pandemic; • It provides for customization of screen instructions, appeals, and thank-you emails; • It provides immediate, comprehensive thank-you emails with the details of the payment, and the administrator(s) and others can be CC’d on the emails; • It allows the giving page to be embedded in an existing church webpage; • It allows customer definition of an easy-to-remember giving page URL, such as “giveto[organization]@gvtls.com” • It supports mobile device use, although not a mobile application, but we haven’t missed that. It really is comprehensive and very easy to live with, once all processor setup is completed. Low rates provide great value for nonprofits using this tool. Lots of features including SMS donations. Solid security. Your system works so well--from the ease of it to the reports on it. It's an intuitive system and does not cause me to pull hair out of my head, always a good thing. Thank you! Cons After going through the setup process and seeing it begin to function, there has yet to be a con to report. The version 2 of GivingTools removed my "Cons". They are great. These are not show-stoppers from our view, but one should be aware of them: • The low-fee option to “Bring Your Own Processors’ requires the Customer to deal directly with the credit card and bank ACH processors, which can be challenging during the set-up process; • GivingTools only uses email for support. That puts the burden on the Customer to clearly articulate their problem or concerns (screenshots are helpful). It also opens the communication process up to misinterpretation of message “tone” (Am I being dissed? Are they being condescending?) It takes a little while to get used to the menus and layout, but the customer service/support is excellent. I once entered a donor's information on my computer through our website's donate button and that donor's information shows up constantly.
