5 Top Tips to Help You Get More From Your Payaz Device
Your Payaz device is more than just a clever little box — it’s your digital fundraising assistant, working around the clock to help you collect donations with ease. Whether you’re using a TapBox, GivingWall, GivingStation or GivingStand, here are five quick tips to help you get the most out of your device and raise even more for your cause.
Put It Where People Pause
Placement is everything. Pop your device somewhere visible — like a welcome desk, near refreshments, at an event entrance, or by the exit. Anywhere people naturally stop or queue is prime donation territory. If they see it, they’re more likely to use it. Dont stick it in a corner and wonder why people dont use it!
Tell a Simple, Clear Story
Your cause matters — make sure people know WHAT they’re giving to and WHY. Use the custom messaging on your device (or signage nearby) to highlight the impact of donations. Something as simple as “Tap £3 to help us support families in crisis” makes all the difference. The message is key to getting people to donate.
Keep It Charged and Connected
It sounds obvious, but it’s easy to overlook! Make sure your device is charged, switched on, and connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data. A quick test before each event saves any awkward tech hiccups when people are ready to give. You don’t want to miss out on potential donations.
Train Your Team to Talk About It
Volunteers and staff are your secret weapon. Encourage them to mention the devicein conversations or during announcements. A friendly, “If you’d like to give today, you can tap right here!” often gives people the nudge they need. If you and your team dont tell people about it how will they know.
Use It Often – Not Just at Events!
Your device doesn’t have to be boxed up between events. Set it up in your building, shop, or reception area. The more visible and accessible it is, the more opportunities you create for people to give, even during quiet moments.
Final Tip? (it’s a bonus one!)
Ask your donors what they think. If they find it easy to use (which most do!), that’s great feedback you can share. If they’re confused, you’ll know how to make the experience even better next time.
