Fast Payments with People's Fundraising

A faster way to take cashless fundraising payments

Traditional card terminals can create queues, require hardware and limit the number of people who can pay at the same time.

Fast Payments lets supporters scan a QR code or open a link on their own phone and complete a quick payment using supported digital wallet options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.

It is ideal for busy fundraising situations where speed, convenience and the ability for many people to pay independently are important.

Fast Payments features

  • Accept Apple Pay and Google Pay — give supporters a fast mobile payment experience using familiar digital wallets.
  • Use QR codes — place the supplied QR code on posters, tables, counters, collection points and printed materials.
  • Offer preset payment amounts — provide a small set of clear payment choices so supporters can pay quickly.
  • Reduce unnecessary data entry — avoid asking for information such as a name or address when it is not needed for the payment.
  • Support many payers at once — supporters use their own phones, so multiple people can make payments at the same time without waiting for one shared terminal.
  • Connect payments with wider fundraising — use Fast Payments alongside events, raffles, shops, donations and other People's Fundraising tools.

More than a QR code payment page

Fast Payments is designed to work as part of your wider fundraising rather than as an isolated payment terminal replacement.

After a payment, supporters can continue into the wider People's Fundraising experience and your organisation can connect quick payments with other fundraising activities.

This makes Fast Payments particularly useful at events where supporters may also be buying tickets, entering raffles, shopping or making donations.
