Flexible and Secure Payment

Our secure payment gateway, powered by Stripe, ensures donations can be made with confidence. Set-up is simple and payments only take a few moments. Donors can pay via a credit or debit card, or using Apple or Google Pay.

Non-Attendee Donations

Extend the reach of your live event donation drive by enabling non-attendees to contribute! Use GalaBid’s shareable links to circulate the donation drive to every supporter, not just those attending your event.

Pledge Leaderboard

A customised scrolling leaderboard rotates through all of your items. Each time a donation is placed, a pop up will show the donation item image along with the name of the donor. It’s a fun and effective way to create some healthy competition between participants!

Invoices

Mobile invoices are generated the moment a donation is made by supporters and sent via text or email, and you can brand and edit your invoices within the GalaBid platform so that they suit your fundraising needs

Custom Design

Design flexibility means you can customize the donation drive (including home pages, info pages, videos, images and logos) to showcase your cause and any sponsors you may have.
