ChurchPay and ParishPay
ParishPay is a focused UK church giving product: QR codes, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and digital Gift Aid on the gift. That is a good job if giving is the only gap. ChurchPay covers the same Sunday moment — foyer kiosk and QR — and then keeps the Gift Aid and GASDS records your treasurer needs after it. ChurchPay still exports the claim pack; it does not submit the claim to Charities Online.
What it is
ParishPay is a giving layer for parishes: scan, pay, and declare Gift Aid on the gift.
ChurchPay is giving plus congregation records, services, campaigns, and a treasurer claim-pack export, on church-pay.com.
Sunday giving
QR giving with Apple Pay and Google Pay. No card machine to buy.
Sunday kiosk and QR, also with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card. The kiosk never stores card details.
Gift Aid
Digital declarations and HMRC-ready reports, according to ParishPay's own site.
Declarations on-screen at the point of gift, stored with evidence, then exported in a claim pack.
GASDS
Not the product we are comparing here. Confirm with ParishPay if you need cash-scheme evidence.
Anonymous cash can be logged per service when you close that service.
Fees
ParishPay advertises no monthly subscription. Card processing still applies; we do not quote their take.
A ChurchPay subscription. No ChurchPay percentage on the gift — you pay provider card rates only.
When it fits
You want a lightweight giving page and QR code, and you already have people, services, and claims elsewhere.
You want giving, Gift Aid evidence, designated campaigns, and church operations in one place.
This page describes ChurchPay from our own product. ParishPay details are taken from their public site at parishpay.co.uk and may change. We are not affiliated with ParishPay.

If you already like ParishPay's QR flow, the useful question is what happens to the declaration after Sunday.
