Online Donation Setup

The Khayr Technologies platform includes a customizable online donation page that enables your supporters to contribute from any device with internet access. This guide explains how to configure and launch your organization’s dedicated donation portal.

Understanding Online Donation Capabilities

The online donation system provides several key capabilities:
  1. A branded donation page unique to your organization
  2. Project-based donation options that mirror your fundraising initiatives
  3. Secure payment processing with receipting functionality
  4. Support for both one-time and recurring donations
  5. Mobile-optimized interfaces for all device types

Prerequisites for Online Donations

Before activating your online donation page, ensure you have completed these foundational steps:
  1. Configured your organization profile with complete information
  2. Connected your Stripe payment processing account
  3. Created at least one active donation project
  4. Uploaded your organization logo for branding purposes
These components are required for a fully functional donation experience.

Activating Online Donations

To enable your online donation page:
  1. Sign in to your Khayr Technologies dashboard
  2. Navigate to the “Organization” section in the sidebar
  3. Select the “Online Donations” tab
  4. Locate the “Enable Online Donations” toggle switch
  5. Move the toggle to the “On” position
  6. Create a custom URL slug (explained below)

Creating Your Custom URL

Your organization’s donation page will have a unique URL in this format:
https://khayr.tech/@your-organization-slug
When choosing your URL slug:
  1. Select a concise, recognizable identifier (typically your organization name)

  3. Avoid special characters or spaces
  4. Keep it short and memorable for easy sharing
Example slugs:
  • masjid-al-noor
  • islamic-center-houston
  • muslim-community-fund
Once created, this URL becomes your primary donation link for all online fundraising efforts.
