More Donations Through Easy Scanning
Print a GiroCode on flyers, posters or your donation page. "I’ll donate later" turns into "I’m donating now" – in ten seconds.
The Problem: Good Intentions Fade Away
Studies show: more than 70% of people who want to donate abandon the process. These three hurdles are the main reasons:
- Donors want to donate – but the path is too complicated
- Many drop off as soon as they have to type an IBAN
- The payment reference is forgotten – donations cannot be allocated
The Solution: GiroCode lowers the barrier dramatically
A single QR code is enough. Donors open their banking app, scan, confirm – and the amount lands on your account with the correct reference attached.
Scan & donate in 10 seconds
No more searching IBAN or typing it in: scan once, enter the amount, done.
No amount – donors choose
Leave the amount empty. Donors enter the amount they want to give in the banking app.
Use on flyers & posters
Download the PNG and place it on print material, your website, donation emails or social media posts.
Your Donation GiroCode in 3 Steps
Enter your donation account
Add IBAN, recipient (association/NGO) and reference (e.g. "Donation campaign 2026") in the generator.
Leave amount open or pre-fill it
Leave the field blank for free donations – or set a suggested amount (e.g. €25) for fixed-sum campaigns.
Share & use the QR code
Place the code on posters, flyers, your website, mailings or social media graphics. Donors scan with their banking app.
Donation GiroCode FAQ
Do we need a separate QR code per donation?
No. A single QR code is enough for an entire campaign – with or without a fixed amount. For separate accounting per campaign, generate one code per campaign with its own reference.
Can donors give without a fixed amount?
Yes. If the amount is left blank, the donor’s banking app asks for the amount. Ideal for free donations.
Are GiroCode donations tax-deductible?
Yes, as long as your organisation is recognised as charitable. The donation is a regular SEPA transfer – on the donation receipt it appears like any other transfer.
Does this work on posters and large print media?
Yes. Make sure to keep at least 2x2 cm and good contrast. On posters, print larger (5–10 cm) so passers-by can scan from a few metres away.
Is donor data stored?
No. The generator works completely locally in your browser – we see neither your data nor the donor’s. Donor data is only handled by the donor’s bank.
