Buy or rent a donation terminal?.

Q: Can I rent a device from DAYAA?

No, the devices are purchased and remain your property. The software is billed monthly according to donation volume.

Q: Can I pay for the devices in instalments?

Yes, from three devices: 12 monthly instalments at 0 % interest, at no extra cost. You pay the first instalment when you order; after that it is collected automatically every month. A 24-month term is available on request.

Q: What happens after the minimum term?

The software contract then renews for twelve months at a time unless cancelled three months before it ends. The devices you bought remain your property.

Anyone looking for a donation terminal comes across very different models: purchase, rental, subscription including a device, or a percentage of every donation. To compare offers fairly, look at the total cost over several years.

The common models

Purchase: you pay for the device once and it belongs to you. On top come running costs for software and card payments.
Rental or subscription with device: a low entry price, but the device belongs to the provider and the monthly fee keeps running.
A percentage of every donation: the provider keeps a share of each donation – which gets expensive with high donation volumes.
