Frequently asked questions
What is Tap to Pay on iPhone for organisations?
Tap to Pay turns your iPhone into a contactless payment terminal. Your donor holds their contactless card or iPhone (Apple Pay) against the back of your phone, and the payment is taken in seconds. No physical card terminal is required.
Which iPhone is compatible with Tap to Pay?
Tap to Pay works on all iPhone XS models and newer (XS, XR, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17), provided iOS 16.4 or later is installed.
How much does Tap to Pay cost for my organisation?
It is completely free on Donoor's side: 0% commission, no subscription, no hidden fees. Tap to Pay is processed through Stripe, and only Stripe's bank fees (1.5% + €0.25) apply.
Is it secure for my donors?
Yes, Tap to Pay uses contactless (NFC) technology certified by Apple and Stripe. The donor's bank details are never visible or stored on your iPhone. For payments above the contactless limit, a secure PIN code is requested.
Do I need a bank contract or a terminal to use Tap to Pay?
No. No merchant agreement, no card terminal, no external reader. A compatible iPhone and the Donoor app are all you need: card payment acceptance is built in and ready to use.
When should I use Tap to Pay rather than a QR code or payment link?
Tap to Pay is ideal when you are face to face with the donor and they pay by card or phone (stand, event, door-to-door). The QR code is best for self-service displays (poster, lectern), and the payment link for collecting remotely (SMS, email, social media). All three are free and can be combined.
How can I take card donations without a card terminal?
With Tap to Pay on iPhone, your phone becomes the terminal: the donor holds their card or phone against yours, and the payment is taken. No device to buy or rent, no bank contract — just the Donoor app on a compatible iPhone.
