Accepting donations to your Charity by
SMS - Overview
Textvertising have partnered with a leading
network partner and can offer a dedicated
service which allows any registered Charity to
accept
donations by SMS whilst offering much higher
outpayments than traditional shortcode payouts.
We can provide both a shared charity shortcode 70700
and shared standard shortcode 82055
for this service.
Do
we provide an Admin Panel?
Yes you can logion and configure everything
yourself, plus monitor donations (and revenue)
received in real time.
What Rates do we offer?
We offer 25p, 50p, £1.00, £1.50, £2.50, £3.00,
and £5.00.
Does this service differ from other providers
offering this service?
There is a good chance it does. many other providers simply offer an extension
service on their shortcodes - this makes the
donation amount after charges far less. The
Textvertising service on £3.00 and £5.00 rates offers much higher
outpayments than the standard routes.
What are the advantages of receiving donations
by SMS over other methods?
The
largest reason for choosing to receive donations
by SMS is the convenience to the person
donating. Traditionally, many Charities simply
receive donations online (via PayPal for
example) or over the telephone by credit or
debit card.
To the person donating these can often be
inconvenient. Especially when there is not a PC
near or the person does not have a credit card
to hand.
Alternatively, making a donation by SMS simply
involves texting a single word to a 5 digit
number. Its fast and its easy.
