You’re in control
When you pay for something using a Donate The Change accessory a donation rule is automatically triggered to send your donation immediately to your charity.
How much you donate depends on the rules you set.
There are three options:
- Add a specific amount to each purchase, for example 20p. Every time you pay for something 20p is donated.
- Add a percentage to each purchase, for example 10%. If your bill comes to £4.80, 48p is donated.
- Round up to the nearest pound. For example, if your bill comes to £3.29 then 71p is donated.
You can also set a monthly cap if you want to limit the amount you donate in any given month. The minimum cap you can set is £2 per month. You can change these rules any time you like online or using our app, keeping you in control of your giving
