Apple Pay & Google Pay Support Coming to Giftflow Pro

We're thrilled to announce that Giftflow Pro will include support for Apple Pay and Google Pay, bringing modern, one-tap donation experiences to your fundraising campaigns. This is one of the most requested features from our community, and we can't wait to share it with you soon.

Why Digital Wallets Matter

In today's fast-paced world, donors want to give quickly and securely. Digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay remove friction from the donation process, making it easier than ever for supporters to contribute to causes they care about.

The Power of One-Tap Donations

Traditional Checkout:

Fill out donation form
Enter card number (16 digits)
Type expiration date
Enter CVV code
Add billing address
Click donate
Wait for processing

With Apple Pay or Google Pay:

Fill out donation form
Tap Apple Pay or Google Pay button
Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or PIN
Done! ✨

That's it. What used to take 45-60 seconds now happens in under 10 seconds.

What This Means for Your Organization

Higher Conversion Rates

Digital wallet payments have been shown to significantly increase donation completion rates:
