Creating a donation campaign: step by step to your own campaign.

A campaign determines what your donors see on the screen of the donation terminal: the purpose, images, suggested amounts and the thank-you after the donation. In the Dayaa Management Platform you create campaigns yourself – with a live preview and no technical knowledge. Here is how it works, step by step.

Preparation: what you need

  • A clear purpose – for example a building project, a collection, Zakat or Iftar.
  • Your logo and one or two suitable images.
  • The amounts you want to suggest.
  • A short thank-you text.

Step 1: choose a layout

Choose how the screen is laid out: single colour, two colours, with a banner image or with a background image. A banner works well if you want to show a photo of your project; a single colour looks calm and is especially easy to read.

Step 2: adjust the design

Add your organization's colours, texts and images. The live preview immediately shows how the screen looks on the device. You decide the texts yourself – also in Turkish, Arabic or German.

Step 3: set donation amounts

Set the suggested amounts, for example €10, €25 and €50, and choose where the buttons sit. If you like, also allow a custom amount so everyone can freely choose how much to give.

Step 4: design the thank-you screen

After the donation your own thank-you message appears. Optionally, donors can have a receipt sent to them by email. What applies to an official tax receipt is explained in our guide Donation receipt for card donations.

Step 5: finish – period and devices

Finally, set the start and end date: the campaign is active immediately or starts later. Then choose the devices it should run on – done.

Tips for successful campaigns

  • One campaign is active per device – for example the Dayaa Tower at the entrance for the building project and the mobile Dayaa Go in the hall for the collection.
  • A specific purpose with a photo works better than a general appeal.
  • Campaigns can be changed, paused or assigned to another device at any time – for example for Ramadan or Christmas.
  • You see donations in real time, separated by campaign. More ideas: Fundraising – 12 ideas.
