I know that one benefit of online donations is that if you have a job, you don’t have to give your tithing to the bishop every week. And in my area, there is a local business that hires 12-year-olds! What about those employees who are under 13 who earn money?
Also, with this pandemic, people under 13 can’t pay their tithing because they can’t access the online donations page!
Lack of online donations does not prevent anyone from paying tithing. One can always put money in an envelope and mail it to the bishop. Parents can write a check for the children/youth as that is more secure than cash when going through the mail.
While less convenient, it is still possible. No one on this user-to-user mutual help forum has any ability to make any changes to church policy. If you feel strongly about this, you have 2 options to get this request to those who set the programmer's priorities:
1. Provide feedback from any page on the church web site (you may not receive a personalized answer, but we're told all feedback is read and sent to the appropriate leaders).
2. Convince your stake president to raise the concern with his coordinating counsel.
