Keep more of each sale

Tillify has no monthly fees or hardware costs. For small fundraiser sales, the fee is 5% with a $0.10 minimum under $6.25; sales of $6.25 and over are 1% + $0.25, capped at $2.50.

You can optionally enable surcharging, so supporters cover the payment fee and the full sale amount goes to your fundraiser.

Fundraising happens wherever people gather

A sausage sizzle outside Bunnings, a cake stall at sports day, a car wash for a school camp, or a raffle at the clubrooms all have the same challenge: people want to pay quickly, and organisers want every dollar accounted for.

Cash is familiar, but it means finding a float, making change and counting notes at the end. A QR payment option lets supporters pay with the phone already in their hand.

One QR code is enough for a sausage sizzle

Create a QR code for a set amount, print it, and place it beside the menu. A supporter scans, chooses Pay by Bank or card, and receives confirmation right away. There's no app to install and no terminal to charge or rent.

For a simple event, make codes for your most common amounts: $2 for a drink, $3 for a sausage, or $5 for a sausage-and-drink combo. You can also create one open-amount code for donations.

A practical setup for groups

Create a free Tillify account in the group's name.
Connect the bank account that should receive the funds.
Create QR codes for products, tickets or donation amounts.
Print the codes and put them where supporters can easily scan them.
Give volunteers a delegation code so they can help without sharing a login.
Review all payments together after the event.
