6 Updates to Contributions & Online Giving
We're excited to announce a slew of updates that have been made over the past few weeks to our contributions and online giving systems. We've listed each of them below along with a quick description.
1) Customized giving statements can be saved as a template
When creating giving statements, there's times where you may want to store multiple statement configurations for different purposes. For instance you may want one statement for end of year giving and another one for quarterly pledge updates. This update allows users to create a statement, save it as a template, and easily flip back to it when it's needed. For more information on how this works, see our documentation on giving statement templates.
2) Donors can leave a note with their online contribution
Churches can now customize their online giving pages to include a place where donors can leave notes and comments about the gift. While in many cases allowing the donor to specify what fund they'd like to give is a better fit, there's times where there's so many options it doesn't make sense to have a fund for each (for instance, if a donor wants to support a specific student on a mission trip and would like to type in their name). This update allows donors to leave a note with their gift. The note is then automatically stored within Breeze.
While the comments section is hidden by default, it can be enabled by customizing your online giving page.
3) Church administrators can receive an email notification when someone gives online
Sometimes it's nice to know exactly when a gift comes in. Churches can now opt to be notified by email whenever someone gives online. By default this is off but it can be enabled by customizing your online giving page.
4) Searching contributions over a large timeframe returns results much faster
Previously, searching for a large number of contributions (such as all gifts in the last 5 years) could take a bit of time to return results. We've updated our interface so that these large searches return much faster.
5) Envelopes filter expanded for searching contributions
When searching contributions given, we've updated our search filter to include more options for filtering by envelopes which includes:
This can be accessed on the contributions search page.
6) Stripe TOS Update
While admittedly less exciting than the other updates, the company that powers online giving behind Breeze (Stripe) has updated their Terms of Use. Clarity, consistency, and including new products are the main reasons for the update. All fees and functionality that you're used to stay the same.

Breeze has been incredible. Their customer service, commitment to innovation, and their product are top-notch. I love the features, the ease of use and the mobile applications.
All of our database needs have been more than met, it's easier to use than the last database we had, and the price is amazing - what a value this has been to our church! All of our staff can use this software and they do regularly. We use it to track…literally anything a church could possibly need to track regarding it's attenders.
Breeze has been a great asset to our church and congregation. Especially from an administrative standpoint, it has been the most adaptable and easiest church database I have ever used. The features from blast emails to giving on-line, and texting have been one of our greatest assets. Thank you!
We switched from a major, web-based ChMS to Breeze and our decision is confirmed every day. We are a medium size church and we use Breeze for contributions, member management, event checkin and a few other applications custom to our church. I had trouble getting any staff to use our previous ChMS but almost all staff are using Breeze. The product is very well designed, extremely easy to learn and use and customer service is incredible.
Breeze has opened the communication highway for our congregation and staff, with very little training. Because members can update their own records and search easily for other members - and map their locations, send emails and text right from Breeze, they love it and our data is more real-time accurate. Our ministries are stronger, because they can trust the data in Breeze, which is easily accessed anywhere, anytime.
Breeze is the first ChMS my volunteers have actually embraced. That's because it's so easy to use. The software is very flexible and gives us the opportunity to make decisions based on actual data we've collected and not just hunches or stories we believe to be true.
I cannot say enough about Breeze. Their customer service is so friendly, you feel like you have friends and family helping you get started, they're prompt to reply and will do whatever they can to help you get things sorted out. It's been so easy to learn, our staff is loving it and best of all even our staff who are not computer savvy find it a breeze (pun intended). We are just thrilled by our choice.
From the start of our process looking for an online solution, Breeze has exceeded all our expectations. Fast data import, fast and friendly customer support, and we can’t say enough about how much we like the program itself. Very well designed and user friendly. On a scale of 1-10, Breeze gets a 15 from us!
