Subsplash Payment Forms are a simple & flexible way to take payments for goods and services. All payments made through a payment form are considered non-tax deductible, meaning they won’t show up on a donor’s giving statement. Common examples include:
books or study materials
merchandise (shirts, mugs, hats, etc)
coffee sales
space rentals

The best part? It’s fully integrated with Subsplash Giving—the secure and trusted donations platform used by thousands of churches.
Both tax deductible and non-tax deductible transactions are managed in the Subsplash Giving Dashboard, but they are tracked separately. Payments collected through payment forms or paid event registrations appear in the Payments section and are deposited to your connected bank account on the same schedule as donations. In your Transfer report, these payments are listed in a separate category from charitable gifts, making your reporting clear and accurate.
