DonAid can be used in conjunction with any electronic terminal or system used for commerce.

So that includes:

• POS terminal systems
• Websites
• Phone apps
• Bank ATMs
• SMS donation platforms

Once a charity has chosen its fund raising partner, the terminal is updated with a few lines of additional software.

POS system providers can effect this as part of their regular product & product updates

The donation transaction may be

• A direct donation
• Round-up purchase of a CRM product
• Use of an affinity card
• Ticket purchase for a gala
• Or any financial transaction made through a participating channel

When the transaction is made, the terminal delivers a donation TAG (in text or QR form) to the donor.

This acts as both a receipt, and a tracking reference.

By scanning the code, the donor can request confirmation and proof of final delivery of their donation.

There is no minimum amount. A single cent, penny, yen, or sen can be actively tracked and audited.

For convenience, the donor is encouraged to register to receive notification of final delivery. The donor can also be motivated by:

• Competitions and promotions offered by the collection agent / commercial partner
• Appropriate updates on the progress of the charity project they have just supported
• Tax credit confirmation (in applicable countries)

With the donor's consent, charities may send

• Project progress reports
• Requests for additional small donations
