Update Payment Method

First time Text to Give users

1. Text the keyword and amount to the number that is assigned to your organization. (Example: GIVE 100). Please note that there must be a space between the keyword and amount. 
   
   If only an amount is texted without a keyword, the funds will go to a default category. This is set up by your organization. You will need to contact them directly for details on where this is assigned. There is no default category if your organization is using the short code (74483). 
   
   
2. First time Text To Give donors will receive a text with a link to sign into their SecureGive account or create a new account. Tap on the link to begin the setup process.
   
   Please note: The Text To Give setup link does not stay active indefinitely; it will expire after a few hours. If you tap on the link after it has already expired, you will not be able to complete the setup process. You will also see a "This Text To Give registration is invalid" error message. To fix that, simply text the keyword and amount again, and you will be sent a new link.
   
   
3. Once you are signed in, if you already have a saved payment method, then make sure it is selected as your Preferred Payment method.
   
   If you do not have a saved payment method, then use the Add Payment Method button.
   
   
4. Tap to complete your first transaction. You will see a confirmation that your transaction has processed and you will also receive an email receipt.
