How to share GiftWell with another church

Published October 20, 2026 · updated October 21, 2026

Key points

  • Find your link
  • Choose credit or cash
  • Watch the first year

This takes about two minutes, and the other church pays nothing extra.

1. Open Share GiftWell

In your workspace, go to Settings → Share GiftWell. The page shows your link and your code. Both are yours alone; they never change.

2. Choose how you want to be thanked

Pick Credit to my church's plan (the default) or Pay me. Credit extends your paid-through date the day the other church pays. Cash is paid once a month once you have at least $50 waiting. You can change this at any time; it applies to rewards that have not been settled yet.

3. Send the link

Copy the link and send it however you talk to that pastor: a text, an email, a note in a group chat. If they would rather type it, the eight-character code works on the sign-up page too.

4. They sign up

When they open your link, the sign-up page says You came here on a link from your church. They create their church as usual, on the free plan, and nothing is owed by anyone yet.

5. They pay for a year

When their church pays for a plan, your reward appears on your Share page as held for thirty days (the window in which they could ask for a refund), then becomes credit or joins the next monthly payout. Your page lists every church you brought and where each reward stands.

If the other church is yours under another name, or shares your email domain, the sign-up is counted but no reward is earned. The full terms are on the page.
