Tap2Donate
A simple Android app designed to work alongside the SumUp Solo card reader — making street charity collections by card fast, dignified, and effortless for both collectors and donors.
The Problem
Street charity collectors increasingly face donors who carry no cash. Card readers like the SumUp Solo solve the payment side — but the interaction still feels clunky. Donors don't know what amount to tap, collectors have to fumble with settings mid-conversation, and the moment is lost.
Tap2Donate removes that friction.
How It Works
The app presents a clean, large-button interface that lets the collector quickly set a suggested donation amount and hand the device to the donor. The SumUp Solo handles the tap — no fumbling, no confusion. The whole interaction takes seconds.
Features
- Quick-set suggested donation amounts with one tap
- Clean, large UI — easy to hand to a donor
- Works seamlessly with the SumUp Solo device
- No donor account or app required
- Designed for outdoor, on-street use
- Lightweight — minimal battery and data usage
Who It's For
Charities and voluntary organisations running street collections — tin-rattlers going digital. Whether it's a one-day event or a regular weekly collect, Tap2Donate makes the shift to card payments simple for collectors of any technical ability.
