Intro to On-Site Collection

Online giving keeps climbing, but cash and checks still come in every weekend, and Rock records them right alongside online gifts. On-site collection is how you enter those in-person donations, cash, checks and even credit cards, in the context of weekly giving.

A typical weekend flow looks like this:

  • Gather - Collect the cash, checks and envelopes from the service.
  • Enter - Record them in Rock as a batch of transactions.
  • Reconcile - Confirm the batch total matches what was collected, then close the batch.

Start with On-Site Collection Methods to enter your first batch, and see Giving Envelopes if your organization uses numbered envelopes.
