Catch the Donation While the Feeling Is Fresh

The moment someone wants to give is short. They hear your story at an event, feel something, and intend to donate later — then later never arrives, because donating required finding your site and typing card details on a phone.

A QR code on the leaflet, banner or screen closes that gap. Scan, tap, done, while the person is still standing in the room where they decided to give.

Why It Works

Gives at the peak

Right after the talk, the film, the appeal — the only moment when most people actually complete a donation.

No cash needed

Fewer people carry cash every year, and a bucket at the door quietly loses you the ones who do not.

Know what worked

One code per campaign or venue shows which appeals moved people, so next year is not guesswork.

Costs nothing to add

The code goes on materials you already print, so it does not eat into what you raise.

How to Set It Up

  1. 1

    Set up the donation page with your payment provider first, with suggested amounts and as few fields as possible.

  2. 2

    Generate the code above and put it on leaflets, banners, screens, collection boxes and the end of your presentation slides.

  3. 3

    Add one line of context: "Scan to donate — €10 provides a week of meals" beats a bare code by a wide margin.

  4. 4

    Use a separate code per campaign so you can tell which appeal brought the donations in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you process the donations?

No. We generate the code and count scans; the money goes through your own payment provider or fundraising platform. The code simply takes people to your donation page.

How do I know how much a code raised?

Compare the two sides: scan counts here, donations in your payment provider. If a code gets many scans and few completed donations, the problem is on the donation page — usually too many fields.

Should I show suggested amounts?

Yes, and tie them to something concrete. People who have just scanned a code want to decide in a few seconds, and a blank amount field is the slowest possible thing to put in front of them.

Need to Change It After Printing?

Dynamic QR codes let you edit the destination anytime and track every scan. Free for 14 days — no credit card required.
