Using the Donation Station Lite II for the first time
This guide goes through the process of turning on and setting up the Donation Station Lite II for the first time
🔶 First Time Setup
Before you can start taking donations, you will need to turn on the Donation Station Lite, connect to the internet and set up a unique pin code.
🔸a. Gently slide the cable out from bottom of enclosure being careful not to unplug it from the card terminal.
🔸b. Plug the cable into a power source: the power adapter and wall socket or the optional power bank.
Note: If turned off, the card terminal will power on when plugged into a power source
🔸c. The Donation Station Lite II will prompt you to either connect to Wi-Fi or continue with Mobile Data (4G). The Donation Station Lite II must be connected to the internet to continue
🔸d. Once connected, you will be prompted to create a unique pin.
🔸e. Next choose the fundraising mode: Keypad Mode, Suggested Amounts Mode, or Express Mode. You can always change modes after this initial selection by tapping the "G" icon in the top left and entering your pin.
Keypad Mode: Keypad mode is perfect for in person fundraising at events where the donation amount varies and is entered every time you accept a payment.
Suggested Amounts Mode: Suggested Amounts is a mode perfect for semi-attended situations, where you can configure multiple donation amounts for donors to select from.
Express Mode: Express Mode is the ideal mode for when you are wanting to accept quick, repeatable donations of the same amount.
🔸f. The set up is complete and you are ready to start fundraising
