Questions about online giving

How does online giving work at Westview? Are there credit card fees?

We are using the online giving program sponsored by the Presbyterian Foundation. There is no setup fee or minimum balance required of the church. The cost is a 2% transaction fee for each gift made online; you have the option to include the cost of the 2% fee when you make your donation; otherwise the fee will be deducted from our monthly direct deposit of donations. When you give, you will receive an automatic acknowledgment email from the Foundation. Westview receives a monthly direct deposit of all online giving. You can create an account to manage your online giving to Westview. You can avoid the 2% transaction fee if you schedule your donations using an electronic funds transfer (EFT).

When I make a donation, is my debit/credit card or bank account information secure?

Yes. Vanco Payment Solutions, the online giving and payment processing system used by the Presbyterian Foundation, meets or exceeds all industry standards to safeguard your data. To help ensure your data stays safe, it leverages technology such as tokenizing card data and encrypting sensitive information for transmission and storage.

Can I set up a recurring donation?

Yes. Look for the “Donation Frequency” field at the bottom of the credit card page.

I made a mistake and donated the wrong amount. How can I get a refund?

Contact the church, and we will be able to credit the amount donated in error back to your account.

How do I get started?

Credit card donations are accepted here at the church website. If you click on the "Donate via Credit Card" button below, you will be taken to the donations page. From there you would enter the donation amount next to your preferred option and press the “Continue” button.
