A walk-up donor becomes a monthly donor, in one visit
Kiosk giving is not limited to one-time gifts. A donor standing in your lobby can start a recurring plan with a card tap, pick the frequency, and get a receipt by email. Sustainer programs stop being an online-only idea.
- One-time and recurring on every device
- Preset Quick Donation amounts or custom entry
- Automatic confirmation and branded receipt
Devices you can see, support you can call
The Admin Portal shows your fundraising devices with their status, reader connection, recent activity, campaign assignment, and donation totals by device. Donatefy provides remote setup assistance and troubleshooting, so a quiet kiosk gets noticed and fixed instead of discovered weeks later.
- Device status and reader-connection visibility
- Donation totals per device, per campaign
- Remote setup and operational support
