What it does

Cashless giving – as easy as any other card payment.

Hardly anyone has cash with them anymore, and dealing with the collection cash register and collection bag is becoming more complicated. The ChurchDesk Terminal brings modern, contactless payment to the parish – easy to use for visitors, easy for parish teams to manage, consistent across the diocese and regional church.

  • For visitors

    Spontaneously donate or pay – contactless via card, smartphone or smartwatch, without any cash.

  • For the parish

    Collection, candle donation, event ticket desk: every donation is automatically assigned to the correct project in ChurchDesk – no counting, no typing.

  • For the diocese and regional church

    A unified device for cashless giving across parishes – linked to the platform's donation management.

From the terminal directly to donation management – without a second cash register.

The terminal is not an isolated cash register device: it is linked to your platform's donation management, so that every payment automatically goes to the right project and, where possible, to the contact – one data record instead of a separate cash register.

This means your parishes can give cashlessly on the same system that runs the website, forms and fundraising – centrally controllable for dioceses and regional churches.

Cashless for every occasion

Give contactless – at the collection, candle donation and event ticket desk.

Whether cashless collections in church services, candle donations or the box office at a concert: visitors pay contactlessly using a card, smartphone or smartwatch. You can link the respective donation or payment project in donation management with just a few clicks.

  • Card, smartphone, smartwatch: Pay contactless, as we are used to today.
  • For every occasion: collection, donation or ticket at the box office – flexibly adaptable.
  • Directly linked: Every payment goes to the right project in donation management.

Ready to use anywhere

Stand or tablet – with built-in SIM, without WiFi.

Use the terminal as you need it: in a lockable stand or flexibly as a tablet. Thanks to the built-in SIM card, no WiFi connection is necessary – even at parish festivals or outdoor church services. It runs wirelessly on the battery for up to six hours.

  • No WiFi necessary: The built-in SIM card makes the terminal ready for use anywhere.
  • Up to 6 hours of battery: Can be used wirelessly, can be extended using a power bank if necessary.
  • Mobile design: Easy to transport – indoors and outdoors.

Clearly assigned

An A4 poster presents the appeal – the assignment happens automatically.

With the interchangeable A4 poster, visitors can immediately see which project they are supporting. In administration, every donation is automatically assigned to the previously defined donation or payment project. Suggested amounts make the decision easier.

  • Visible poster: An interchangeable A4 poster shows the purpose of the donation.
  • Automatic allocation: Every payment goes to the right project – without rework.
  • Suggested amounts: Three suggestions, free amount possible, PIN from €50.
