How Charity Shops are benefitting 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 from visitors coming to the shop.  Contactless fundraising terminals provide that additional support. 

With fewer people carrying cash, it’s important that charity shops are able to offer modern ways for their supporters to give.  

Funds are often raised for:

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

With a Dona Donation terminal charity shops can create up to 20 different funds for donors to give to.

Showcased flexibly across a range of donations terminals, funds are the perfect way to engage your community with your mission and campaigns.
