During the recent lockdown due to the COVID-19 situation, Responsenet wanted to go live with multiple campaigns, including a Million Meals Campaign with KFC. KFC wanted to create an initiative through which their internal stakeholders can participate in the larger contributions made by the company. They also wanted to accept online donations to provide meals and hygiene kits for affected migrant workers. Lastly, Responsenet wanted to create a custom landing page, co-branded with KFC. They chose to go ahead with Razorpay payment pages<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Everything was working well for Responsenet for the past 15 years. However, they had to manually send around 2500 80G receipts in a month. Now, this was a significant effort.

One day, their team received an email that mentioned early access to the Automated 80G feature, and they signed up for it!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And since then, Razorpay became their default choice for everything payments. Kuldip Nar, Founder Responsenet says\u00a0 “In our 20 years of experience, we have not found a better solution than Razorpay Payment Pages. Automated 80G receipts, among many other features, has helped us efficiently fundraise and report to internal and external stakeholders.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What started as door-to-door cash donations has now become entirely contactless. Charitable trusts, big and small, have made their way online. This has helped them discover new geographies and hence, they have been able to invite people from all folds to nurture a cause they care about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the challenges that an NGO faces while accepting online donations is choosing a secure and reliable payments partner. During our conversations with NGOs across India, we realised that there’s a standard checklist that they have when they are in search of a payments partner:<\/span><\/p>\n
