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.

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 every dollar you intended reaches the mission.

Nothing for anyone to fill in

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

01About five seconds.

Short enough to happen on the way past the table, rather than instead of the exhibit.

02Every dollar.

When a donor covers the processing fee, the amount you asked for is the amount that arrives.

03No forms.

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

How it works

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. Donors can always enter their own amount.

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.

After the gift

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.

Where it works

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 is month to month, cancelable at any time. No money down carries a 24-month term per box.
  • Tip Box comes in two sizes. The full-size box is $599, or nothing down at $79 per month. The Tip Box Mini is $199, or nothing down at $69 per month. Software is the same $59 either way.
  • Receipts, fund accounting, donor records and the reconciliation export are all included at no extra cost.
  • Processing is 2.9% + $0.30 on each gift, charged as a cost on the transaction.
  • Depending on your state rules that cost can be taken out of the gift, absorbed by your organization, or covered by the donor at the box.
  • Additional boxes are $29 per month each on the standard plan, either size. With no money down, additional full-size boxes are $49 per month each and additional Minis are $39 per month each, and every box carries its own 24-month term from the date it is installed. Delivery and any tax are quoted separately.
