With a QR code for donations, next time becomes now.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">How it works<\/h2>\n<p>You create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1pay.ch\/en\/features\/donations\/\">donation<\/a> form and turn it into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1pay.ch\/en\/features\/qr-payments\/\">QR code<\/a>. You print it and put it up where people pass by. Anyone who wants to give scans the code: with the TWINT app they donate straight away with TWINT, with the phone camera they open the donation page and choose between TWINT, card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. You get a notification, the donor gets a confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>No box to empty, no coins to count, no device to charge.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">Where to put it<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.4em\">On the &#8220;classic&#8221; collection box, as an alternative to cash.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.4em\">At the refreshment stand and at the entrance to matches, concerts and parties.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.4em\">On the event flyer and poster.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.4em\">On the tables at the club dinner, next to the menu.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:.4em\">On the back of the programme for the show or tournament.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"background:#EEF6F5;border-radius:14px;padding:18px 22px;margin:1.4em 0\">\n<p style=\"font-weight:700;color:#1D3D78;margin:0 0 .3em\">The detail that makes the difference<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Write under the QR what the donation pays for: &#8220;Every franc goes to the children&#8217;s summer camp&#8221;. A bare code gets ignored, a code with a reason gets scanned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">What it costs<\/h2>\n<p>On the 1pay.ch Starter plan the QR code is free and there is no monthly fee: you only pay a small fee on the donations you actually receive. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1pay.ch\/en\/solutions\/associations\/\">associations<\/a> with higher volumes there is the Nonprofit plan, with lower fees. The features are the same on every plan.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#EAF1FB;border-radius:14px;padding:20px 22px;margin:1.6em 0\">\n<p style=\"font-weight:700;color:#1D3D78;margin:0 0 .3em\">Want your own QR for the next party?<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0\">Call or message us: in one phone call we will show you how to create and print it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:.6em 0 0\"><strong>Phone<\/strong> <a href=\"tel:+41918574737\">+41 91 857 47 37<\/a> \u00b7 <strong>WhatsApp<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/wa.me\/41798574737\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">+41 79 857 47 37<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"mailto:info@1pay.ch\">info@1pay.ch<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:clamp(1.4rem,4vw,1.9rem);line-height:1.25;margin:1.6em 0 .6em;color:#1D3D78\">A real example<\/h2>\n<p>A sports club puts the QR on the tables at its summer party with the words &#8220;Help us buy new football goals&#8221;.
