Getting started with Payaz
Enabling your charity to take card and contactless donations with Payaz is a very simple process. Whilst every charity has unique requirements the basic principle for all our digital giving equipment remains the same.
There are two things to consider; What does it cost and how does it work? Below is a straightforward guide to answer these questions.
How much does it cost?
There are three (or four) elements to consider in regards to cost which can vary depending on the product that you select. However the same process for calculating costs applies to all:
- Initial hardware purchase (eg PayazGo or GivingStation)
- Monthly fee for point of donation software (Give a little)
- Transaction fee on donations (SumUp or Stripe)
- Mobile Data if you do not have wifi available.
How does it work?
The process to accept card and contactless payments is very simple. There are three stages which can be made in any order. We’ve listed them below in the order that we would recommend.
- Order you Payaz hardware from our website (and SIM if required.
- Sign up for your SumUp account at: https://www.sumup.com/en-gb/payaz/
- Sign up for your software account at: https://givealittle.co/sign-up
When your equipment arrives you should be able to turn it on, log in to the software and start taking donations in a matter of minutes.
It really is that simple 🙂
Q&A
Is it really that simple?
Yes, there are, of course, some set up related tasks like creating up your first appeal or connecting the card reader via Bluetooth but if you set up your payment and software accounts before the hardware arrives you could be taking donations 20 minutes after the device is delivered.
