Abstract
A system and method of setting and charging a fixed donation amount provides a convenient contactless payment for donations. The system includes at least one portable donation terminal and at least one administrator personal computing (PC) device. The portable donation terminal is communicably coupled to the administrator PC device. An administrator may be a cashier, a clerk, a clergy member, and so on. The method begins by outputting a fixed charging amount with the portable donation terminal. Donation information is received through the portable donation terminal. The donation information is processed for the fixed charging amount. An administrator is prompted to generate a receipt of the fixed charging amount for the donation information. At least one remote server may also be communicably coupled to the administrator PC device in order to provide a reference identifier for the receipt. The receipt is outputted with the administrator PC device.
