Paperless payments has provided our church with a system for direct online giving that is user friendly and flexible. People can choose to make one-time gifts or set up a recurring schedule of automatic contributions. The contribution reports are easy to access and immediately available. This service was frequently requested by members of our congregation. We are happy that Paperless Payments could fill this need so painlessly and inexpensively for us. We recommend it!
