Fast QR Code Payments for Charities, Schools and Good Causes
Accept fast, frictionless payments using Apple Pay and Google Pay and make it easier for supporters to pay at events, stalls, counters and collections.
People's Fundraising Fast Payments is designed for moments when supporters simply need to make a quick payment without entering unnecessary information such as their name or address.
Create a Fast Payments page, choose your payment amounts and share it using the dedicated link or QR code supplied by the platform.
A faster way to take cashless fundraising payments
Traditional card terminals can create queues, require hardware and limit the number of people who can pay at the same time.
Fast Payments lets supporters scan a QR code or open a link on their own phone and complete a quick payment using supported digital wallet options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
It is ideal for busy fundraising situations where speed, convenience and the ability for many people to pay independently are important.

More than a QR code payment page
Fast Payments is designed to work as part of your wider fundraising rather than as an isolated payment terminal replacement.

This makes Fast Payments particularly useful at events where supporters may also be buying tickets, entering raffles, shopping or making donations.
