Mindful Givevs.Tip Tap Pay
Same tap.
Better everything else.
Tip Tap Pay introduced a lot of charities to contactless giving — and we're glad it did. But a tap that ends in a beep is only half the gift. Here's what changes when the receipt, the donor data, and the reports just happen.
The donor's experience
A tap should feel
like a thank-you.
Not a guessing game.
Tip Tap Pay
For the donor
A beep. Then what?
- One fixed amount. Whatever the charity set on the box — that's the gift, no more, no less.
- Audio is the only output. One short tone marks the tap; another marks the result. The donor reads the volunteer's face to know which is which.
- Want a receipt? Scan a QR. Then enter your card brand and the last four digits. Hope you remember which card you tapped.
- Identified by brand + last four. Two donors with matching last fours on the same card brand can end up sharing a record.
- No memory. Next Sunday, the dance starts over. New QR, new form, same friction.

For the donor
Tap. "Thank you, Sarah."
- Pick the amount on screen. $20, $50, $100, or any number they type — same flow, ten seconds.
- The screen tells the truth. A green checkmark means it worked. A red retry means try again. No interpretive dance with beeps.
- Receipt? Type your email once. Right on the same screen, before the donor walks away. It lands in their inbox before they sit down.
- Tied to the actual transaction. Not the last four digits — the actual gift, the actual donor. Zero collisions. Ever.
- Recognized next time. Same card or phone? Quick Tap greets them by name and skips straight to "Thank you."
One audio channel. Three states.
A speaker.
Or a screen.
A Tip Tap Pay box has one feedback channel: a small speaker. It signals when a card is detected, when a charge clears, and when one fails — three different states sharing one audio output.
Quick Tap has a screen. The screen says what happened, in plain language, by name.
Tip Tap Pay
Tone — card detected
Tone — charge cleared
Tone — charge declined
Quick Tap
"Thank you, Sarah — $50.00 to St. Mary's. Receipt sent."
The charity's experience
Where Tip Tap Pay ends,
the work begins.
For Mindful Give, the work is the work — and we do it for you.
Tip Tap Pay
For the charity
An XLS, a spreadsheet, and a long Sunday afternoon.
- Download a spreadsheet of the week's tap activity. Each row: timestamp, last four digits, card brand, amount.
- Cross-reference manually against your own donor registry to figure out who tapped which card.
- Issue your own CRA receipts. Sequential numbers, signatures, eligible amounts — that's on you.
- Send each one yourself. Email, mail merge, however you do it. Hope no one's address changed.
- Field the unmatched. The card with no donor record. The donor who registered the wrong card. The collision.

For the charity
Read the dashboard. Drink your coffee.
- CRA receipts auto-issued. Sequential numbers, no gaps, digital signatures, in the donor's inbox the moment the charge clears.
- Donor identity, solved. The email captured at tap-time is the donor record. Nothing to match. Nothing to guess.
- Reports write themselves. Board-ready PDFs, QuickBooks sync, fund-by-fund breakdowns. Always live, always current.
- Recurring nudges, on the house. First-time donors become monthly donors. Our Nudge Engine picks the moment and the ask.
- You're not the merchant. Mindful Give is. No Stripe account, no PCI scope, no chargebacks landing in your inbox.
