Donating is becoming increasingly accessible

Nowhere are successful transactions as important as for charities. After all, donations need to end up in the right place, literally and figuratively. With an eye on the future, more and more organizations are letting a payment service provider (PSP) take the work off their hands, optimizing existing cash flows and storing donor data securely. Still submitting a batch of direct debits every month? It can be faster, easier and more secure.

Make donating easy and accessible

There are countless ways to support a charity. Charities are increasingly using the payment options we already know from e-commerce. New payment methods such as iDEAL QR, recurring payments via PayPal or credit card and digital direct debit mandates (eMandates) make donating easier and more secure. Mobile donating via an iDEAL QR code in particular will make street collections accessible and trusted again.

Prevent manual errors, save time

Donations come in through various channels, such as TV campaigns, email campaigns, fundraising platforms and face-to-face fundraising. Some charities spend days manually checking all payments and failed payments. Think of direct debits that have been reversed, or the processing of one-off donations. Buckaroo automates this process and shows you which donations have failed. Follow-up actions, such as a new direct debit attempt or sending an email with a payment link, are possible right away and help increase donation conversion. And recurring donations no longer have to be submitted to the bank on one specific day.
