Giving

Take donations online and by card

Bring in takings from the SumUp card readers you already use, and give your masjid a donate page for online gifts and QR codes. Every gift then counts towards the same totals.

Bring in your SumUp card reader takings

If you already take donations on a SumUp card reader or tap-to-give box, link your SumUp account and those takings appear in Donations next to everything else.

  1. 1

    Open Donations then Ways to give

  2. 2

    On Card readers and tap-to-give boxes, press Link SumUp

  3. 3

    Sign in to SumUp and allow access

    MasjidConnect can only read your takings. It can't take money or change anything in your SumUp account.

  4. 4

    Press Sync now to bring in the last 30 days

After that, new takings come in each time someone opens Donations, or when you press Sync now. Card reader payments are anonymous and go in as general donations.

Take care

Every sale on your SumUp account is counted as a donation. If you also sell books or food on the same account, edit or delete those payments, or use a separate SumUp account for donations.

Which plan

Linking SumUp card readers needs a Masjid or Network licence.

Using a different giving box or kiosk? Press Tell us which one on the same card and we'll look at linking it.

Set up an online donate page with Stripe

Stripe gives your masjid a donate page where people choose an amount and an appeal, and pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. They can also set up a weekly, monthly or yearly gift. You'll need your masjid's bank details and the details of the person responsible for the account.

  1. 1

    Open Settings then Online giving

  2. 2

    On the Stripe card, press Set up Stripe donations

    Fill in the form with your bank account and identity details. It all happens inside MasjidConnect. If you stop halfway, press Continue onboarding later.

  3. 3

    Choose your donate page link

    Under Donation page settings, set the Donation page URL, for example your-masjid-name. Choose whether donors are offered to cover the fees. Press Save settings.

  4. 4

    Under Active donation processor, choose Stripe

Your link is then shown on Ways to give with a QR code and a Copy button. Stripe pays the money into your bank account.

Which plan

Stripe works on every plan. Our fee on online gifts is 2.5% on the Free plan and 1% on a Masjid or Network licence. Stripe's own card fee is on top. Donors can choose to cover the fees.

Use a SumUp payment page instead

If you'd rather keep everything in SumUp, you can point your donate link at a SumUp payment page you've made in your own SumUp account.

  1. 1

    Open Settings then Online giving

  2. 2

    On the SumUp card, fill in Short link for your donation page and SumUp payment page URL

  3. 3

    Leave Donation page enabled on and press Save changes

  4. 4

    Under Active donation processor, choose SumUp

Donors land on your page, press Continue to SumUp to pay, and choose the amount on SumUp. These gifts reach Donations through your SumUp link, as long as your card readers are linked as above. There's no appeal choice, regular giving or Community app Donate button with this option, and we don't add a fee.

Which plan

The SumUp option needs a Masjid or Network licence.

Where online gifts show up

  • In Donations, marked Online or Community app.
  • On the appeal the donor chose.
  • In your screens' weekly total. See Show giving on your screens.

In the Community app, the Donate tab opens your Stripe donate page in the phone's browser.
