This is a web application for generating links to direct or regular donation forms for Lithuanian and international payment methods. The app allows you to create your own virtual donation box for donations without having to write code or link your website or app to contracts and integrations with banklink.

We provide a convenient interface for donors so that they don't have to enter data manually or copy it. The donor only has to follow a link by scanning a QR-code or going to a direct URL-address, enter the amount of donation, choose the transfer type - one-time or regular payment (single or standing order), and choose your bank, Paypal or credit card payment type.

Cashier mode allows you to accept payments by setting a specified amount. Once set and confirmed, you'll get a generated QR code and URL that can be passed to the customer or donor.

How it works:

1. Set the payment amount together with the customer. This amount will be preset for the payment.
2. Generate a unique QR code and payment link for this specific amount. Share it with the customer via screen, print, or message.
3. Customer scans the QR code or opens the link. The amount is already set, so they just select their payment method (internet-bank or credit card) and complete the payment.

Perfect for:

• Free card terminal alternative - accept payments in person without expensive hardware
• Virtual money requests - send payment requests with preset amounts via message or email
• Payment request automations - append required donation value and updated payment description on the fly through URL parameters

Cashier mode is similar to 'money request' features provided by major banks like Swedbank, SEB, and others, but works across all supported payment methods in one unified interface. It's perfect for businesses, non-profits, and individuals who need a quick and free way to accept payments with preset amounts.

The feature of passing payment form parameters through URLs is provided by banks free of charge. DonationBox is the app that brings those banking methods together under one simple donation form, without the need for any coding. That's also the reason why this app is free.

Currently connecting solutions related to accepting donations is either quite difficult for a person who does not have technical skills, or has a monthly fee, which may be inappropriate in cases where the collection is organized by a private person or an NGO that does not have regular donors.

We believe it is important to make organizing fundraisers in Lithuania a quick, convenient, and, most importantly, fee free method for fundraisers.

In short: Yes, it's safe.

DonationBox is just an intermediary that sends a request to your bank's web page with the account number, the name of the recipient, an explanation, and the amount of the payment. The bank chosen by the user is responsible for the security of the transfer and all actions related to user authentication.

According to all modern standards, we use a secure SSL connection, but we advise you to use additional data encryption tools such as incognito mode, VPN, etc. for anonymity.

After selecting your banking method, you may want to pay attention to the URL of the web page to which you were redirected when you click. To do this, open the address bar of the browser window with the bank's website and note that it matches the following domains and is listed by your browser as a Secure website (in this case, Chrome, Safari and Firefox will show a closed padlock icon next to the address).

 

Swedbank - https://www.swedbank.ee/

SEB - https://e.seb.ee/

LHV - https://www.lhv.ee/ 

Coop - https://i.cooppank.ee/ 

Revolut - https://revolut.me

Paypal - https://www.paypal.com/

Donorbox - https://donorbox.org/ 

In short, we do our best to make sure that no one besides you, your bank, and payee knows about your transfer. To make sure it works, we do the following:

• We don't store your data in a database. Instead, we generate a special link that already contains all the data related to the campaign. The parameters from this link are read by the DonationBox application. Parameters include the campaign name, payment detail, payee's name, IBAN account number / your Revolut.me username / your Paypal.me username / slug for your Donorbox campaign / your UID from SEB.
  
  Example link with parameters: https://donationbox.ee/donation?campaign_title=Donate+Estonian+Jewish+Museum&detail=Annetus&payee=Eesti+Juudi+Muuseum+MT%C3%9C&iban=EE312200221037561773&pp=&db=support-estonian-jewish-museum&sebuid=f0233a8a-2c62-414d-a8e0-868d5ca345cb
  
  
• We only redirect you to the bank page. After logging into the bank, you will see the pre-filled for the transfer. All you have to do is to make sure the data is correct and proceed as usually.

Donationbox is not responsible for the data exchanged between your payment provider and the recipient. Fundraiser, donor and recipient are responsible for the information they provide.

DonationBox code is publicly available in the Github repository: https://github.com/fifle/donationbox

According to various international regulations, banks in Lithuania and other countries are obliged to monitor payments in real time and ensure that no suspicious transactions pass through them. Otherwise, the bank has the right to freeze funds for transfer from your bank account until the investigation is completed. Therefore, be honest and state the real purpose for the transfer in the explanation.

The UID token is necessary for initiating payments in SEB's online bank. This way SEB improves the security of pre-filled forms on the payment transfer pages.

SEB UID is available for non-profits and businesses only. Private individuals cannot obtain this token.

To get the UID, send a free-form application with a request for UID to the email: eservice@seb.ee. Please note that the person representing a legal entity must be a member of the board.

Obtaining a UID does not require you to open an account or sign a contract with SEB.

Donorbox is an international online donation platform for non-profits. It allows you to start receiving donations for international payments systems.

Stripe is a global payment processing platform that allows businesses and nonprofits to accept credit card payments (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) online.

Using Stripe alongside local bank payment methods is beneficial because local donors can use familiar bank transfers, while international donors or those who prefer credit cards can donate via Stripe. This way you reach more donors—both those with local bank accounts and those without.

If your business or non-profit has a Stripe account, you can generate a Payment Link to accept donations via credit cards. Please insert the Payment Link ID to include this method in your DonationBox. You can find the ID in the Payment Link URL right after the slash. For example: https://donate.stripe.com/[YOUR-ID].

This is an additional method that was created for security purposes to combat fraudsters.

We recommend that you check your organization's information before sending money and be aware of the responsibility of transferring funds to third parties.

Shortly, no, if you donate through local banks, Revolut or Paypal.

Your name as well as bank details such as IBAN account can be seen by the recipient of the funds. In fact, this is the same as would be the case with a manual direct transfer of funds through your online bank.
