Small gesture. Big impact.

Giving, at the speed of a tap

Your supporters stopped carrying cash. Tip Box gives them a way to give in about five seconds: in the lobby, at the table, on the way out.

Tip Box uses these details only to answer your request and to measure our own ads.

Give in the moment

The ask lands where the feeling is, not in an email three days later.

Donors can cover the fee

Donors can add the processing fee to their gift, so the amount you asked for is the amount that arrives.

Nothing for anyone to fill in

An amount and a tap is the whole interaction. No login, and no email address captured at the box.

Watch a gift at the box.

Set it up once. Then leave it alone.

01

Set it up as yours

Nothing arrives preset. Load your logo, your colors and your own language, then pick the gifts that match your ask.

02

Put it where people pause

The welcome table, the lobby, the back of the room, the gate at an outdoor event. Power it from a standard outlet or over USB.

03

Gifts land in your account

Deposits arrive on a regular schedule and every gift is listed, so reconciling takes minutes.

The receipt writes itself. Your bookkeeper will notice.

Giving does not stop when the card leaves the reader. Tip Box sends the right acknowledgment, keeps every fund straight, and hands your accountant a clean set of numbers.

Receipts, handled

Every gift gets the right acknowledgment sent for you. A tax receipt when you are a 501(c)(3), and a simple thank-you when you are a school, team or club that is not.

Funds that stay straight

Point each gift at the right fund with your own accounting codes. Restricted and unrestricted never get mixed up.

Reconciles in minutes

Gifts, donor-covered fees, refunds and chargebacks arrive in one export your accountant can actually use.

Keep one campaign, or let donors pick a program.

Most causes run one campaign on a box, or the same one on every box, and that is how each box starts. When it helps, a box can list your programs instead, so a donor taps one or gives where it is needed most.

Optional, box by box

Choose which boxes show programs, if any. Every other box keeps its one campaign and the plain amount screen.

Every gift counted where it was meant

Each program has its own fund, so a gift to one program never lands in another. A gift where it is needed most goes to your main campaign.

Let supporters give online and every month.

Tip Box Giving adds a giving page to your account, with or without a box. After someone gives at the box, its thank-you screen can show a code to set up a monthly gift.

A giving page that is yours

Your logo, your colors, your photo and your words, with a page for each campaign. Supporters give once or every month by card.

Monthly gifts that look after themselves

Charged on the same day each month. If a card declines, the donor gets a link to update it.

Donors manage their own gifts

No account needed for donors. They open their giving with an email link to change the amount, update the card, pause or cancel, and download every receipt.

Indoors, outdoors, staffed or not.

The full-size Tip Box is a rugged, outdoor-rated terminal, and the Tip Box Mini covers the counter, so the box behaves the same on a hotel desk and on a cart path in July.

Important details

  • Software is billed monthly. Buy the box and service has a 6-month minimum per box; after that it runs month to month and can be canceled on 30 days notice. No money down carries a 24-month term per box.
  • Receipts, fund accounting, donor records and the reconciliation export are all included at no extra cost.
  • Processing is charged as a cost on each gift. Depending on your state rules it can be taken out of the gift, absorbed by your organization, or covered by the donor at the box.
  • Each box you add is billed at the same rate as the first, and its minimum or term starts on the date it is installed. Delivery and any tax are quoted separately.
