Features and Enhancements ✨
July 1
Quick Donate is a new kiosk mode that helps you capture in-the-moment gifts you might otherwise miss during services, exhibits, and events. Donors can now make a gift in just two steps: They select an amount, pay by card, and are done.
Request and Set Up Your Kiosk
You can now request a kiosk in Quick Donate mode by emailing [email protected].
In the Bloomerang Fundraising web application, kiosks in Quick Donate mode:
Appear with a lightning bolt indicator
Have a Quick Donate tab, where you:
Choose one restriction that all gifts apply to
Add up to five preset amounts
Optionally customize the on-screen wording to match your organization's voice
Accept Quick Donations on Your Kiosk
In the Bloomerang Fundraising mobile app (in kiosk mode):
If you use Bloomerang Payments, connect a Stripe M2 card reader so donors can tap, swipe, or insert their card. If you use another merchant, connect an IDTech reader so donors can swipe or insert their card. Tap isn’t supported for IDTech readers.
Donors tap an amount. On the next screen, they insert, swipe, or tap their card.
A thank-you screen confirms the gift, then clears itself after five seconds so it’s ready for the next donor.
Each gift is recorded as an anonymous, one-time donation tied to your chosen restriction. Because the kiosk doesn’t collect contact information or ask donors to log in, donors don't receive an email receipt.
