Accept donations seamlessly with Zest Payment Pages

Whether you're a non-profit organisation or an individual trying to raise funds for a cause so dear to your heart, making it easier for your donors to send their donations is crucial to the achievement of what you’ve set out to accomplish. 

In this article, we will look into how you can leverage Zest Payment Pages to collect donations seamlessly.  Let's dive in!

A payment page is a web page which allows you to pay or purchase items easily and securely. In most cases, you are redirected to a payment page after adding some items to your cart online but for this article, we will focus solely on how it relates to donations. 

When the link to the payment page is shared, donors can easily send their donations by simply filling in some required information to process the payment. Think of it like a digital donation box but with added features and benefits.

Let's face it, getting someone to donate to a cause is not an easy thing to do, so making the donation process as seamless as possible is very important. At Zest, we are very keen on empowering businesses, NGOs or people to build innovative products or initiatives with digital solutions to boost their operations.

To get started:

1. Creating your profile: Set up your business profile in less than three minutes.

2. Submit compliance documents: These regulatory documents are important for us to safeguard the types of businesses that are onboarded on our platform and these documents are different based on the type of businesses onboarding on our platform. Once your documents are approved, you can activate your donations page and start collecting donations immediately.

3. Customise your donations page: Enter the required details about your organisation, upload your logo and choose between fixed donation amounts or allow for open-ended contributions.
