Fundraising for clubs and charities: contactless instead of a collection tin.
The summer fair, the Christmas market, the open day: for many clubs and charities these are the most important occasions to collect donations. But the collection tin stays empty more and more often because guests pay by card or smartphone. A digital donation box solves the problem.

What is a digital donation box?
A digital donation box is a donation terminal: instead of dropping in coins, guests choose an amount and hold card, smartphone or watch to the device. The donation goes straight to your account, and you see in real time how much has been raised – no counting, no taking cash to the bank.
Mobile at fairs and events
For fairs, stalls and events a mobile device is ideal. The Dayaa Go is compact and optionally comes with a stand – it sits at the information stand or the counter and goes with you when you approach people.
Fixed in the clubhouse, clinic or school
Where people pass by every day, a permanently installed device accepts donations all the time: the Dayaa Wall on the wall or the Dayaa Stand as a slim stand at the entrance – with an advertising panel for your current project.
Five tips for more donations
The studies behind these tips can be found on our page Research on giving.
- Name the purpose specifically: “New kits for the youth team” convinces more than “Donations for the club”.
- Make the goal visible: the closer a campaign is to its goal, the more likely people are to give.
- Choose the location well: where many people wait or pass by.
- Suggest amounts carefully: suggestions that are too high can lead to fewer people giving.
- Say thank you: a friendly thank-you on the screen completes the donation.
What does it cost a club or charity?
At DAYAA the software costs from €15 net per month depending on donation volume – if you collect little in a month, you pay little. You buy the device once; the card fees are charged by SumUp. All details in the guide What does a donation terminal cost?.
