Moving from Tithely to Donorbox can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be complicated.

Whether you’re looking for more flexibility, better features, or a platform that fits your ministry’s unique needs, this article will walk you through exactly how to cancel your Tithely account and migrate to Donorbox, step by step.


Why Cancel Tithely and Move to Donorbox?

Fundraising platforms are a big decision for nonprofits, and sometimes you find that the one you started with just isn’t the best fit.

When comparing Tithely and Donorbox, both have powerful fundraising tools, but Donorbox offers more comprehensive features that help organizations grow.

While Tithely mainly focuses on churches, Donorbox supports all types of Christian organizations!

With Donorbox, you’ll find extra fundraising features like peer-to-peer giving, advanced form customization, and a donor wall to celebrate your supporters – features you won’t find on Tithely.

And unlike Tithely, Donorbox’s free plan includes advanced fundraising tools to help your ministry or nonprofit increase donations.

Step 1: Export Your Data

Once you cancel your Tithely account, there’s no turning back. That means before you make the platform switch, you’ll want to save all your important data, especially your recurring donor information (more on that soon).

To export your data from Tithely, you’ll need to create a custom giving report.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Use your Tithely church login to access your account.
  2. Go to Giving in the left-hand menu, then select Transactions.
  3. Click Filters to customize your report. Be sure to choose everything you need, like Funds, Location, Product, Payment Type, and Date Range. (Remember: once your account is canceled, this information is gone for good!)
  4. Click Columns to pick which details to include and rearrange them however you like, with fields like Name, Email, Fund Name, Fees, Net Amount, Transaction Date, and more.
  5. When your report looks right, click Export File in the top right corner to download your .csv file.

Step 2: Create Your Donorbox Account

Now it’s time to set up your Donorbox account and kick off your journey toward more donations.

Here’s how to get started:

  1. Sign up and create your free account in minutes.
  2. Connect Stripe and/or PayPal so donations go straight to your bank.
  3. Set up your first giving campaign. Choose a simple donation form or create a full donation page.
  4. Customize your online giving form by adding your brand colors and style.
  5. Share your campaign with potential donors by embedding the form on your website, sharing a donation link, or using a pop-up form.

And just like that, your Donorbox fundraising journey begins!

If you want even more features, you can upgrade to Pro or Premium for advanced tools and personalized support to help you maximize giving.

Step 3: Migrate Your Data and Recurring Donations to Donorbox

We have a team of experts who would love to help you seamlessly transfer your Tithely data – including donor recurring plans, contact details, and payment information – into your new Donorbox account.

You can use our paid migration service for a one-time $195 fee, or get it for free with the Premium plan.


Step 4: Notify Your Donors

Next up, it’s time to tell your donors that you’re switching giving platforms.

Think of this as an exciting opportunity to get your church or organization engaged in the change. Share what to expect with Donorbox, highlight the features they’ll love, and clearly explain the steps they need to take to make the change.

Here are some tips for communicating with donors:

  • Pick a Donorbox launch date and announce it to your church or nonprofit, giving clear instructions on the new process.
  • Create a landing page on your website with step-by-step instructions and FAQs.
  • Share key details like the switch date and a link to your new Donorbox giving page.
  • Send reminder emails with easy instructions for setting up recurring gifts with Donorbox.

If you choose not to migrate your donors to Donorbox, you can cancel recurring giving for donors right away or schedule an end date on Tithely as an admin. Alternatively, give donors instructions on how to cancel their own recurring donations in their Tithely account, if needed.


Step 5: Cancel Your Tithely Account

Now it’s time to officially part ways with Tithely.

Keep in mind, only the owner can request an account cancellation, so make sure you’re logged in with the right access.

Here’s how to cancel your Tithely account:

  1. Double-check that you’ve exported all your data (see above for steps).
  2. Downgrade your Tithely subscription to the Complete Giving $0/month plan by going to Global Settings > Billing > Subscriptions.
  3. Ensure all recurring donations are canceled or migrated.
  4. Turn off any third-party integrations linked to Tithely to protect your data and stop two-way access.
  5. Complete the short Tithely account cancellation form to finalize your request and share feedback.

Once you downgrade, you’ll still have access to paid features until the end of your billing cycle, and any pending transfers from Online Giving will still go to your bank account after cancellation.

For peace of mind, once your account is canceled, no one can access your Tithely data, except your Giving records, which are kept for security and compliance.

If you ever need to reopen your account, you can reach out to Tithely support for temporary access.
