Planning Center Giving
Improved Donation Tracking
Giving updated the status stamps for donations, added filters for you to customize your Dashboard, and a brand new “Cancel donation” feature for donors.
Cover The Processing Fee
You can choose to give your donors the option to cover the processing fees associated with their online donations in Giving!
Experience the Embeddable Giving Form
You can now embed the entire donor experience right on your church website, so people never have to leave your site to give.
Payment Sources and the Giving API
The Giving API is open for business! We're also introducing Payment Sources - a new way of tracking donations that came through an external donation system.
Giving Comes to Canada
O Canada! We are so excited today to bring Planning Center Giving to our northerly neighbors. As of today, Canadian churches are welcome to sign up.

Viewing, Exporting, and Contacting Donors
Now you can quickly get to your list of donors, download it as a CSV, or email the entire list right from Giving.
Text-to-Give is Now Free
That's right. It was an addon. Now it's not. It used to cost extra. Now it costs $0.
Announcing Text-to-Give
It's here! Text-to-Give is easy to set up, fun, and it's the fastest and most spontaneous way for your donors to give.
Instant Bank Account Verification
Your donors can now set up bank transfer donations (ACH) by logging into their bank instead of using bank account and routing numbers.
Make A Statement!
Statements can be emailed, hand-delivered, or mailed. No matter when you issue statements or how you deliver them, Giving has you covered.
Split-Fund Donations
Split-fund donations allow your donors to give to different funds in a single donation. It's easy for your donors and it minimizes processing fees.
See the All New Donor Interface in Giving
We released an entirely new interface for your donors. It's fast. It's easy to use. It looks great on any device and there is no app to download.
View Improved Date & Status Tracking in Giving
We've added a new 'Received Date' field, improved status stamps, and made a bunch of improvements to the donation details screen.
Admin Notes in Giving
Now you can add notes for yourself or other staff members as you work in Giving. Attach them to donors, donations, batches, and deposits.
