How your Charity shop can benefit from contactless fundraising

Most charity shops use card machines for payment at the checkout but are failing to capitalise on the opportunity to increase donations with the visitors coming to the shop.  A charity shop contactless fundraising terminal could be the answer. 

With fewer people carrying cash, it’s important that charity shops are able to offer a contactless donation machine.  

Funds are often raised for:

  • Seasonal campaigns 
  • Natural disasters 
  • Humanitarian missions 
  • Local facilities or services 

With a Dona Donation terminal your charity shop can include up to 20 different funds and if you have more than one terminal you can have different funds on each one – giving great flexibility.

Guild Care

“We shopped around with loads of different providers, tried a couple out and decided that actually Dona was a really, really excellent solution.

We have been a charity since 1933 and a lot of the donations that we have received over those years have been cash donations.

We decided it’s about time we moved into the 21st Century and moved most of our donations onto either an online portal or a digital donation point.” – Marc Yarrow

Where to position card donation machines

Having self-service card donation machines placed at the entrance/exit is ideal. 

Wall mounted card machines are a popular option, as well as free-standing floor stands which can be moved around to different locations within the store.
