Digitale Spende is a German digital donation solution designed for church offerings, mobile fundraising for NGOs, and donation scenarios for cultural institutions and charitable associations. It is not simply an online form tool; rather, it is a vertical SaaS/software-hardware solution that bundles physical donation terminals, web-based donation apps, payment processing, network connectivity, and a settlement portal.
The product lineup includes fixed digital donation columns, outdoor donation columns, and full-screen donation columns, as well as mobile digital donation boxes and digital offering bags. On the online side, it offers spende.app and kollekte.app, which can be embedded into websites or shared via livestream links and QR codes. On the management side, kollekte.digital / geben.digital centralizes the management of all devices and apps, supports setting donation or offering purposes, planning in advance by device type and time period, automatically counting revenue, generating monthly settlement reports, and providing financial accounting interfaces. It is especially well adapted to church use cases, with built-in offering plans for German churches and dioceses, and it also supports downloading donation receipts.
The range of payment methods is fairly comprehensive, supporting direct debit, NFC girocard, credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, contactless payments via smartwatches/mobile phones, and PayPal integration. All devices require an internet connection, with connectivity options including SIM/LTE, WLAN, LAN, or a mobile hotspot. In terms of security, the website explicitly mentions encrypted transactions processed by the German payment service provider VR Payment, servers located near Frankfurt, and some backups in Finland, with the overall infrastructure located in Germany or the EU. It also references PSD2-related requirements and anonymous offering processing.
Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Hardware devices require a one-time purchase fee, along with monthly fees for payment services, settlement, support, and maintenance. kollekte.app and spende.app are charged on a monthly license basis, and various electronic payment methods also incur transaction fees. Specific pricing requires contacting the company to obtain a price list.
The advantages are its high level of one-stop integration, clear German localization and payment compliance setup, and strong fit for scenarios such as church offerings, offline visitor donations, and mobile fundraising. The downsides are opaque pricing, the requirement for an internet connection, and its primary suitability for the SEPA/eurozone. There is no information provided regarding local Chinese payment methods, a Chinese interface, or accessibility from mainland China. Overall, it is better suited to churches, nonprofit organizations, museums, and cultural institutions in Germany and the EU, rather than organizations that need localized payment collection in China. Accessibility from China is unknown.
