eGiving facilitates the electronic collection of tithes and offerings for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the South Pacific Division. The app enables the returning of tithes and giving of offerings to all churches set up for eGiving using credit and debit cards, BPAY and direct debit. Defaults for church and payment methods can be set up to make repeat giving easy. For those who wish to schedule planned giving, the app allows recurring transactions on a weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly basis. Recurring transactions can be edited and deleted within the app. To facilitate the highest quality app, some usage information, such as app crashes are collected through the Bug Snag platform. Access to this platform is restricted to employees of the South Pacific Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church and the software development partner, Rocket Lab Pty Ltd. We’d love to hear your feedback at eGiving@myadventist.org
