Integrations

Tithe.ly

Tithe.ly was born mobile first. From text-to-give to their mobile-giving app, they built everything for a mobile generation. This integration pushes transactions made in Tithe.ly to MinistryPlatform whenever a deposit occurs. The transactions that make up the deposit push over as a new batch. The Tithe.ly integration is built on a campus-by-campus level, which means multiple campuses can configure the same integration.

Cost

There is no charge from ACS Technologies for configuring the integration.

Fees from Tithe.ly are assessed as per each church's individual contract agreement.

Giving Types

Once you configure your integration, you must pull over your active programs as giving types for your donors to make designations for their donations.

  1. Click the Giving Types tab.
  2. Click the Resync Integration Giving Type link.
  3. Click Resync Giving Types.
  4. Your active programs will push over from MinistryPlatform as new giving types.

You shouldn't use any giving type without an Integration ID to take donations.

  • Change the status on these to hidden.
  • To show any giving types on the donation form, change the status to active.
  • You can change the names of the giving types and/or reorder them as you see fit.
  • To add another giving type, create a new program in MinistryPlatform, then repeat these steps.

Donor Matching

If there isn't a match, the donation matches to ***Default, Contact. The transaction details include all the donation information, including the name and email so the admin can assign the donation to the proper donor. To assign and create donors, go to Tools > Assign Donor.

Support

Support is provided by Tithe.ly at 424-644-3120 or support@tithe.ly.

Step 1: In MinistryPlatform

  • You must have an account with Tithe.ly before you configure this integration.
Tip: Best Practice is to create a NEW Company Contact using the Add/Edit Company tool, and then create a NEW User for each Integration. Set up your Giving Provider API Client before configuring this integration. Be sure to grant the new API User Administrative rights!
  1. Go to Administration > API Clients.
  2. Click New.
  3. Enter Tithe.ly for Display Name and Client ID.
  4. Enter a Client Secret. This is the "password" Tithe.ly uses to access your MinistryPlatform database. We highly recommend you use a password generator to create a unique and secure Client Secret.
  5. Select the Client User you created for this integration.
    Note: The Client User you choose or create must have a Security Role with Administrator rights.
  6. For Authentication Flow, select Authorization Code, Implicit, Hybrid, Client Credentials, or Resource Owner. All other settings can remain the same.
  7. Click Save.

Step 2: Set up Integration in Tithe.ly

  1. Once you have the items listed above, log in to your Tithe.ly Admin account.
  2. Go to My Churches > Edit Organization.
  3. Click the Integrations tab.
  4. Select the "MinistryPlatform" option from the Integration drop-down list.
  5. Enter your base URL to your MinistryPlatform installation,
  6. Enter your Client ID and Client Secret.
  7. If you would like donations to come over as loose transactions, select Send Transactions Without A Batch. If you don't select this option, a new batch is created and all transactions within the deposit push into the batch.
  8. Click Configure.
