Fundraising events can bring a strong boost of financial support to your organization while strengthening community connections and broadening your reach.
By simplifying the donation process with mobile terminals and QR codes, you create a faster, more enjoyable, and more successful giving experience.
Mobile terminals
No matter where your event takes place, mobile point of sale systems give you the flexibility to accept payments anywhere. These portable devices allow you to accept donations or payments from attendees without being tied to a fixed setup.
Having wireless credit card terminals on-site means you can accept contributions instantly. Guests who didn’t bring cash or checks can still donate in the moment, when enthusiasm and engagement are highest.
As your event unfolds, there may be several opportunities for supporters to contribute, such as raffle entries, merchandise sales, food, beverages, or silent auctions. Mobile terminals allow you to handle all of these transactions securely and efficiently. This consistency helps ensure a professional experience and encourages greater participation.
By offering modern, flexible payment options, you help donors act immediately on their impulse to give, creating a smoother flow of contributions throughout your event.
QR codes
Quick response (QR) codes transform any screen or printed material into a direct payment link to your donation page. When guests scan a QR code with their smartphone camera, they are immediately directed to your secure, mobile-friendly payment portal.
Using QR codes on signage, programs, and invitations simplifies registration, ticket sales, and check-ins. Attendees can engage with your event before it even begins, reducing administrative work and improving efficiency.
There are other benefits of QR code payments as well. QR codes elevate your silent auctions. Place one on each auction item to connect participants to virtual bid sheets, item details, or instant purchase options.
This digital approach enhances convenience and keeps the excitement moving.
Beyond payments, QR codes strengthen engagement. When displayed on banners or printed materials, they can lead guests to your social media pages, volunteer opportunities, or informational videos, which builds awareness long after the event concludes.
If you use dynamic QR codes, you can keep details updated in real time. You’ll also gain access to valuable data analytics that show when and where codes were scanned, giving you insight to refine future events and campaigns.
Seamless giving made simple
When fundraising depends on manual or outdated processes, it can slow momentum. Mobile terminals and QR codes remove friction by merging secure technology with effortless usability. Together, they create an event experience that feels modern, professional, and donor-friendly.
By integrating these tools, you make it easier for supporters to give, participate, and stay connected by helping every event run more smoothly and achieve stronger results.
