Register participants and accept donations on a donor's behalf, right from your phone.
Tip: You can also use the Bloomerang Fundraising app to manage and accept in-person payments, registrations, and other forms of payment for your auction, standard events, and donations.
What Can I Do in the Bloomerang Fundraising App?
You can:
Register peer-to-peer participants.
Accept one-time and recurring donations on behalf of donors.
Pay for donations and registrations by credit card or eCheck, or cash and check for offline transactions. For credit card payments, you can use a card reader, Tap to Pay (requires Bloomerang Payments), or both.
Before You Begin

Set Up Ways to Accept Cards
You can optionally set up either or both of these ways to accept card payments:

Accept Peer-to-Peer Donations
You can create one-time or recurring donations for donors. In the mobile app, the recurring donation frequencies that appear depend on the frequencies you enabled for your peer-to-peer form in the web app.
Tip: If a recurring donation frequency that you want doesn't appear in the mobile app, make sure recurring donations are enabled for your peer-to-peer campaign. Next, edit the recurring donation setting for your peer-to-peer form.

In the General Payment section, do one of the following:
Tap an amount.

(Optional) To set an end date, tap End Date and select the date. If you don’t select an end date, the recurring donation continues until the donor cancels.
In the Contact Information section:
If this is a donation from a company, turn on Company Payment and enter the Company Name and donor's information.
If this isn't a donation from a company, keep Company Payment off and enter the donor's name, address, and email address.
Do one of the following:
To use this address as the billing address, keep Billing Same as Personal turned on.
