Kiosk Giving

Updated:

The Kiosk Giving feature can be very helpful to organizations that wish to have a way for guests and new members to give to their organization. Our Kiosk Giving feature is simply the guest access of your giving page, set on a repeating loop. With this feature, you can load your giving page on an iPad or other device for guests to give while they are with you. 

How To Use The Kiosk Giving Feature

  1. Log into Tithely as an Admin or Limited User with Giving Permissions. 
  2. Navigate to Giving.
  3. Navigate to the Giving Form.
  4. Find the Kiosk URL under the Link/Embed tab.

  5. Enter the Kiosk Form link into your browser.
    • If you are using the same device as you will be using for Kiosk Mode, copy and paste the link into your browser (make sure to close the tab with your admin dashboard open).
    • If you are using a different device for Kiosk Mode, send that link to yourself via email (make sure to close out of your email).
  6. Now that you are on the Kiosk Version of the Giving Form, it is time to lock down your device:
    • On iPad:
      1. Triple-click your device lock button to enter Guided Access.
      2. Choose Guided Access from the Accessibility options listed.
      3. If prompted, tap Start.
      4. While in Guided Access, your donors will not be able to close out of the Safari app
    •  On Android:
      1. While in the Chrome browser, swipe up and keep your finger pressed on the screen until you feel a small tap.
      2. Tap on the Chrome logo at the top of your screen.
      3. Tap Pin.
      4. While the app in pinned, donors will be unable to close out of the Chrome app.
  7. Orient your device to either portrait or landscape (landscape is recommended on tablets, portrait on mobile devices)
  8. Tap Fullscreen. (Only available on Android devices.)
    Note: Kiosk mode is not compatible with card readers, even Tithely Pay readers.

🌟 Tithely Tip: If someone already has a Tithely account, it is best for them to use their account to give to your church. This way their giving will be connected to their account for receipting and tax purposes. The Kiosk platform is tailored specifically to allow guest or new donors to give without creating an account. 

Please Note: Once your guest donor gives using the Kiosk form their information will disappear and the next donor will not be able to access it. This ensures the security of each donor! 🔒
