Our FREE and easy to use Offering Kiosk app for the iPad allows donors to give right then and there at the kiosk stand! Great for church tithing and fundraising events. The offering kiosk app is included in all Continue to Give plans.

 

WHAT IS AN OFFERING KIOSK?

 

The Offering Kiosk is a donation app designed to make the giving process easy, increase giving for the organization, and be convenient for a donor to give using their credit or debit card. The best part about this software, besides the fact it hooks into your merchant accounts, is that it’s app-based. So this means a church or nonprofit simply downloads the “Offering Kiosk” app to their iPad, secures the iPad in a metal stand and starts accepting donations from it wherever the kiosk is placed. The key for any organization is consistent giving through recurring donations, and that is why the presence of the offering kiosk actually increases giving in many nonprofits.

 

HOW DOES KIOSK GIVING FOR CHURCH TITHING & NONPROFITS WORK?

Continue to Give’s offering kiosk has two modes: Point of Sale and Giving Mode. The Point of Sale mode allows for quick transactions. Just type in an amount, swipe the card, and transaction complete. Giving Mode offers more functionality. In this mode, a donor can simply walk up to the kiosk and choose what designation their donation will be, for example, either their tithe or maybe a capital campaign. Then the donor can choose if they would like this donation to be one time only or if they would like to make the donation recurring on a set schedule. Emails are required in the donation process so that receipts are emailed right after the transaction and a profile is created for the donor with a login for later use.

 

HOW IS REPORTING AND RECEIPTING HANDLED?

Every time a donor makes a transaction they will get an emailed receipt with all the tax-deductible wording they need in order to use the receipt for tax purposes. The donor will also get a log in to a portal where they can manage their payment methods, make more donations, and look at their giving history with stored receipts. In addition, the church or nonprofit will also receive detailed reports. They can see who has given, first and last name, and also what they designated their transactions for, such as tithes or capital campaigns.
