Frequency, methods, and control
Recurring giving covers weekly, fortnightly, monthly, and quarterly schedules. You choose the amount and the date, attach a card, bank transfer, or saved payment method, and AzarFaith charges the same naira amount each cycle. Every charge produces a receipt, and every schedule stays under your control on a single screen.
- 1Start a schedule from any ministry page and choose weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or quarterly.
- 2Enter the naira amount, pick the date, and attach a card, bank transfer, or saved payment method.
- 3Confirm once; later cycles charge automatically and each one issues a receipt.
- 4Pause, resume, or cancel from My giving at any time — changes apply to the next cycle, not retroactively.
Recurring versus monthly support
Monthly support describes the partnership: a steady relationship with one church, orphanage, or missionary. Recurring describes the machinery underneath it — the frequency, the saved method, and the controls. You can run a recurring gift weekly to three different ministries, or hold a monthly partnership with one; the two overlap, but the labels answer different questions.
- Frequencies: weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly — changeable without cancelling.
- Pause for a month when payday lands differently, then resume with no re-entry of details.
- Cancel from My giving at any time; the schedule stops before the next charge runs.
- A failed payment retries once, then the schedule pauses and notifies you.
- Saved payment methods can be replaced or removed without ending the schedule.
- The 2.5% platform fee is shown per cycle before you confirm the first one.
Is recurring the same as monthly support?
Not quite. Monthly support is the partnership you hold with one ministry; recurring is the setting that runs any frequency you pick — weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or quarterly — on a saved payment method.
How do I pause without losing my history?
Open My giving, select the schedule, and choose pause. Your giving history and receipts stay in place, and resuming uses the same amount and date.
What happens if my card expires?
The cycle fails once, AzarFaith notifies you, and the schedule pauses rather than guessing. Update the saved payment method in My giving to restart it.
When is the platform fee charged?
The default 2.5% fee is applied to each donation, shown before the first cycle and itemised in every receipt afterwards.
