Those who love to travel know this: by now many of the world’s great museums, such as the British Museum in London, allow their visitors free admission and support themselves through donations from their visitors.
Raising donations and activating crowdfunding campaigns, however, is not easy, especially for a small museum: it means setting up payment stations and totems, printing informational materials, and interfacing with complex regulatory and tax issues.
Or, you can choose amuseapp!
amuseapp makes available to all participating museums-even those with a free plan! – the new donation and crowdfunding feature: directly from the app, at the end of the tour, or by framing a QR Code, your visitors can contribute to the restoration of a work, to support an event, or simply to your museum’s general expenses.
This new feature not only makes it easier for museums to get financial support, but also engages visitors in a meaningful way, turning them into true advocates for cultural heritage.
How do donations work?
The donation process is designed to be simple, quick and secure. Here’s how it works:
❇️ STEP 1
The visitor scans the QR code in the museum (perhaps displayed at the ticket counter or museum exit)
❇️ STEP 2
Select “Donate Now,” choose the amount you prefer, and complete the payment through Stripe.
âś… FACT. It only takes exactly 3 clicks. Not one more. The process takes less than 60 seconds and is optimized and designed for every type of visitor, from the digital native to the more traditional tourist.
The process is extremely quick, allowing the donation to be completed in less than 1 minute.
What is Stripe?
Stripe is an online payment platform used by millions of businesses worldwide. It is known for its security, efficiency and ease of use. By using Stripe, we ensure that every transaction is protected and that donors can contribute with peace of mind.
