Cashless giving<\/h3>\n<p>Church giving kiosks provide the best way for your beloved congregants to make cashless and contactless donations. Almost everyone carries their wallet and smartphone whenever they step outside the home. When you offer them ways to use their cards or <a title=\"The Ultimate Mobile Giving Guide For Nonprofit Fundraising [2022]\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/mobile-giving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">phones<\/a> to make a swift donation, they\u2019d love to help!<\/p>\n<p>If your church is using Donorbox Live&#x2122; Kiosk in the United Kingdom, you can give your donors the option to indicate whether their donation forms part of the U.K. Gift Aid. This means an extra 25% on top of every qualifying offering to your church!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a id=\"post-58202-_7rx1h9mmi8qq\"><\/a>2. Easy to use, quick to give<\/h3>\n<p>With your church giving kiosk, what\u2019s even better is your supporters won\u2019t have to necessarily go online. With a user-friendly touchscreen interface, just swiping or tapping your kiosk machine should help do the job \u2013 in a matter of seconds, no less!<\/p>\n<p>If you can find <a title=\"Volunteering in The Church | How to Get Started with Church Volunteering\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/church-volunteering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">volunteers<\/a> to oversee your kiosk, you can easily educate people and boost donations.<\/p>\n<p>With Donorbox Live&#x2122;, you can also add donation designations to empower your donors. Plus, adding recurring donation options helps grow more steady support for your church.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Plus, make it easy for returning donors to give via card without having to fill in their contact information again. All they have to do is tap their card during their next donation, and their contact information is automatically prefilled while linking the transaction information to their donor profile on the backend (note that this feature only works when name and email fields aren&#8217;t set to mandatory).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a id=\"post-58202-_7vpa937rded2\"><\/a>3. Preferable for younger donors<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/nonprofit-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Millennials and Gen Zs<\/a> are tech-savvy and more likely to give using quick and cashless methods. These donors rarely have cash on hand, so if your church hopes to collect <a title=\"10 Creative Ways to Collect &amp; Improve Offering at Your Church\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/church-offering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offerings<\/a> from these members, you need an easy way to collect these gifts.<\/p>\n<p>Church giving kiosks are the most effective options to grab the attention of your younger parishioners. Plus, they\u2019re so accustomed to using digital devices that you won\u2019t need to educate them on using your kiosk. They can explore on their own and make quick donations to your church!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a id=\"post-58202-_jn4oaclnn1o6\"><\/a>4.

This means more people are prone to visiting your church and making donations during this time.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than asking them to donate using your <a title=\"Donation Landing Page \u2013 A Comprehensive Guide for Nonprofits\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/donation-landing-page\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online donation page<\/a> alone, direct them to your giving kiosk. Donors can enjoy a seamless giving experience while also storing their contact data in your database for reaching out in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Donorbox Live&#x2122; Kiosk stores your donors\u2019 names, addresses, and phone numbers in the Donorbox database, if you choose to enable these options. Easily access and segment this data to personalize <a title=\"Donor Communication for Nonprofits: Essentials &amp; Best Practices\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/email-marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">communications<\/a> and solicit donations throughout the year, increasing your chances of getting more donations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-96338 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Donor-Information-tab-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of donor information tab on Donorbox Live Kiosk\" width=\"814\" height=\"544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Donor-Information-tab-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk.png 1928w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Donor-Information-tab-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Donor-Information-tab-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk-1024x684.png 1024w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Donor-Information-tab-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Donor-Information-tab-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk-1536x1026.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And, ask your supporters to subscribe to your mailing list right from within the app.<\/p>\n<p>This helps you connect with new and existing attendees and keep them informed about upcoming campaigns and exciting milestones.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Mailing-List-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-96316 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Mailing-List-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Mailing List tab on Donorbox Live Kiosk\" width=\"813\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Mailing-List-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk.png 1664w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Mailing-List-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Mailing-List-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk-1024x569.png 1024w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Mailing-List-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Mailing-List-on-Donorbox-Live-Kiosk-1536x853.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a id=\"post-58202-_ybhhlie70cce\"><\/a>5.

Naturally, the safety concern is out of the way for your church!<\/p>\n<p>Contributing to the popularity of this cashless and contactless payment method, the US market has the most contactless cards than any other in the world. The global contactless payment market is also slated to reach $51.07 billion by 2026, which means it will grow nearly four times.<\/p>\n<p>What does all this mean for your <a title=\"8 Hard Truths About Church Giving (Insights &amp; Actionable Tips)\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/church-giving\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">church giving<\/a>?

Inexpensive and easy to carry<\/h3>\n<p>A huge benefit to a church giving kiosk is that they can go anywhere. Since your kiosk is mainly a tablet (or an iPhone or Android smartphone if using the Donorbox Live Mobile mode), you can use it in any location. It is also an inexpensive option for your church, as tablets and smartphones are easily available!<\/p>\n<p>Just ensure that you have a stable internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re hosting a significant event, you can add several kiosks to ensure you get to reach and cover all your attendees. Position stationary church giving kiosks at various points \u2013 no need to oversee them as they function independently, so your church staff and volunteers can work elsewhere efficiently!<\/p>\n<p>Your church can easily add the Donorbox Live&#x2122; Kiosk app to your tablet device, pair it with a card reader device, select a <a title=\"How to Start a Fundraiser &amp; Run Successful Online Fundraising Campaign\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/online-fundraising-campaign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campaign<\/a>, and start accepting donations with this hassle-free solution!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60048 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot_86.png\" alt=\"donorbox live kiosk\" width=\"1066\" height=\"332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot_86.png 1066w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot_86-300x93.png 300w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot_86-1024x319.png 1024w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot_86-768x239.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1066px) 100vw, 1066px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-get-started-with-donorbox\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sign up\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/contact-card-reader\"><span class='mb-text'>Get Donorbox Live&#x2122;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>7. Works in remote or offline settings<\/h3>\n<p>Not all giving happens in or around the church. Whether you&#8217;re collecting donations at a community event, an outdoor service, or a mission trip in a rural area, internet connectivity isn&#8217;t always guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p>Some giving kiosks are equipped with ways to support offline donations!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>With Donorbox Live&#x2122; Kiosk, you can keep accepting gifts even without an internet connection. In tablet mode (or when using an iPhone or Android phone paired with a card reader), donations are automatically queued and securely synced once you&#8217;re back online.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In other words, you&#8217;ll never miss out on support \u2013 no matter where your ministry takes you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><a id=\"3\"><\/a>Choosing the Right Card Reader for Your Church Giving Kiosk<\/h2>\n<p>Giving kiosks are tablets or other devices that require an efficient card reader app to accept <a title=\"11 Practical Tips to Increase Online Donations for Churches | Donorbox\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/online-donations-for-churches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">donations<\/a>. Be sure to choose the right card reader that fits your church\u2019s needs and helps give supporters the best giving experience!<\/p>\n<p>Here are five qualities to look for to be able to build the best giving kiosk for your church.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a id=\"post-58202-_bw6xl4kkujl2\"><\/a>1. Easy to activate<\/h3>\n<p>Your card reader app shouldn&#8217;t have endless requirements for you to activate it. You should be able to get started with the tools at hand &#8211; and in no more than a few minutes!<\/p>\n<p>For example, Donorbox Live&#x2122; Kiosk requires you to have a tablet, a stable internet connection, an active Donorbox account, and an approved Stripe card reader device (Stripe M2 in the U.S. or a WisePad 3 if located elsewhere) to get started.<\/p>\n<p>Then, you\u2019ll log in to your Donorbox account, connect your <a title=\"How to Accept Online Donations with Stripe\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/donations-with-stripe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stripe<\/a> account, and select your location on Stripe. Once you&#8217;ve created a campaign on Donorbox and added your ask amounts, add the app to your device, and that\u2019s all &#8211; you&#8217;ll be ready to start fundraising!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a id=\"post-58202-_c3iuxcv6lsek\"><\/a>2. Offers various giving options<\/h3>\n<p>Your church giving kiosk won\u2019t be as preferable for visitors if it only offers contactless card payments. Choose a card reader that also includes digital wallets like <a title=\"How To Collect Donations with Google Pay on Android &amp; Chrome\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/donations-google-pay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Pay<\/a>, <a title=\"Accept Apple Pay Donations\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/accept-apple-pay-donations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple Pay<\/a>, and more.<\/p>\n<p>With Donorbox Live, you can offer your donors various digital wallet options in addition to Visa, Mastercard, and Stripe payments.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a id=\"post-58202-_co7invpycefo\"><\/a>3. Collects your donor info<\/h3>\n<p>Just because your donors are giving through quick swipes and taps doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t quickly collect valuable donor information!<\/p>\n<p>Go for a card reader app that will take at least the names and email addresses of your donors and store them in your <a title=\"Making the Most From Nonprofit Donor Database \u2013 The Ultimate Guide\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/nonprofit-donor-database\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">donor database<\/a>. This helps with your future solicitation and other outreach efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Donorbox Live&#x2122; Kiosk automatically stores this data whenever a donation is made via the connected card reader. The data is easy to access and use on the Donorbox supporter database. You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/integrations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">integrate<\/a> Donorbox with other leading <a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-crm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CRMs<\/a> and apps for even more effective use of the data.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a id=\"post-58202-_491k3ywxkqw3\"><\/a>4.

From fundraising campaign pages to Crowdfunding to Events to Memberships to Peer-to-Peer to Donor Management &#8211; everything is available on Donorbox!<\/p>\n<p>All you have to do is choose the campaign or event you want to direct people to and get going.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60056 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot_88.png\" alt=\"donorbox live kiosk and donorbox platform\" width=\"1053\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot_88.png 1053w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot_88-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot_88-1024x358.png 1024w, https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Screenshot_88-768x268.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1053px) 100vw, 1053px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"maxbutton-1 maxbutton maxbutton-get-started-with-donorbox\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sign up\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/orgs\/new?utm_source=Blog_Button&amp;utm_medium=Button&amp;utm_campaign=Button_Signup\"><span class='mb-text'>Get Started With Donorbox<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a id=\"post-58202-_1hjh1u1qk5lf\"><\/a>5.

That can be achieved with different display modes and screensavers.<\/p>\n<p>Another important requirement should be the ability to add your church\u2019s logo. If you can add your church <a title=\"Why Personal Branding Matters For Nonprofits\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/nonprofit-blog\/personal-branding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">branding<\/a> throughout the giving process, people will feel more confident about donating with your kiosk.
