FAQs

What is Overflow?

Overflow is a digital giving platform built for churches. It supports donations through credit/debit cards, ACH, stock, and even cryptocurrency. Donors can give online or by text. Overflow also offers NFC “Tap-to-Give” products that link to giving pages, along with features like pledging, donor-covered fees, split gifts, and tax statements. For church admins, there are tools for donor analytics and bulk check scanning.

What’s the difference between Overflow and Subsplash?

Overflow only offers a giving solution, while Subsplash includes giving as part of a larger, all-in-one platform designed to support the full discipleship journey. Additional features exclusive to Subsplash include:

  • GrowCurve: Rebates on processing fees as giving grows.
  • Comprehensive platform: A unified system for apps, websites, media hosting, ChMS, and more.
  • Advanced payments: Options like non-charitable payments, partial payments, flexible forms, and event payments.
  • Unified dashboard: One place to manage your full digital presence.

Overflow Tap vs. Subsplash Tap: What’s the difference?

Both offer NFC-enabled products for quick mobile giving, but Subsplash Tap goes further. It’s built to drive broader engagement—connecting users not just to giving, but also to your church’s app, events, and forms. Subsplash Tap supports tap-to-register, tap-to-connect, and more, all managed from the same platform dashboard. It’s not just a giving tool—it’s a connection point.

What’s the best alternative to Overflow?

While Overflow is centered on donations, only Subsplash is built for the full church experience—supporting everything from watching sermons to joining small groups, and then making it simple to give. For churches that only need giving, Subsplash offers a $0/month option.

How does the Overflow App work?

Unfortunately, Overflow does not offer a mobile church app. Subsplash, on the other hand, includes app solutions as part of its platform to keep engagement and giving all in one place.
