Digital donation box: the alternative to the collection tin.
For many organizations, the collection tin at the till, at reception or on the info stand is part of everyday life. But the fewer people carry cash, the emptier it stays. A digital donation box accepts the donation by card, smartphone or watch instead.

How a digital donation box works
Instead of dropping in coins, donors choose an amount on a small screen and hold their card, smartphone or watch to the device. The Dayaa Go is built for this: compact (30 × 17 × 16 cm), with an optional stand, and it fits on any counter.
Where a digital donation box pays off
- At the counter in a café, shop or community hall
- At the reception of clinics, practices, schools and museums
- At info stands at festivals and markets
- At the exit of events, concerts and services
Advantages over the classic donation box
- No counting and no trips to the bank – donations arrive via SumUp payouts.
- No risk of theft, because there is no cash in the box.
- You see every donation in real time and receive reports automatically.
- The screen explains your project – a concrete purpose convinces more than an anonymous tin.
Costs
You buy the device once; the software costs from €15 net per month depending on donation volume – if you collect little, you pay little. Details on Pricing.
