Overview

We’re thrilled to showcase our success story—an Android application for Donatiezuil, a Netherlands-based startup focused on modernizing church donations through myPOS.eu terminals. Built with Kotlin and designed exclusively for Android-based myPOS POS devices, the new app enables effortless, secure, and quick donations at the tap of a finger. Our team took care of UI/UX design and app development to ensure a seamless experience that invites donors to give with minimal friction. Ready to see how this solution transforms church contributions—and how we can power your next mobile app?

About Donatiezuil

Donatiezuil is a visionary startup from the Netherlands. Their mission is simple yet powerful: make giving in churches more accessible and user-friendly. As cash usage continues to decline, Donatiezuil identified a pressing need for a modern donation solution that anyone can use—no fumbling with coins or passing around donation baskets. By partnering with myPOS.eu, they found robust, secure POS hardware that could be stationed in churches. Adding our custom-made Kotlin app to these terminals brought their vision of automated, digital donations to life.

Project Goals and Challenges

1. Streamlined Donation Experience Donatiezuil wanted a fast, intuitive interface that would encourage donations while minimizing distractions. Every step—from selecting an amount to confirming the transaction—had to be as quick and user-friendly as possible.

2. Church-Friendly Aesthetic Because the app is placed in churches, it needed a design that blended modern technology with a warm, welcoming feel. Striking the right balance between simplicity, clarity, and approachability was crucial.

3. Secure and Robust Transactions Payment security is always a top priority, especially for charitable donations. Adhering to myPOS and industry-standard security protocols was non-negotiable. We also had to ensure reliability under varying internet conditions.

4. Seamless Integration on myPOS Devices myPOS terminals have their own set of system requirements and constraints. We needed to ensure smooth operation, from device-specific settings and hardware capabilities to compliance with myPOS standards.

Our Tailored Solution

Our team tackled these challenges by leveraging cutting-edge Kotlin development practices, combined with a meticulous UI/UX design process:

1. User-Centric Design:
We started with thorough research to understand the target audience—churchgoers and visitors who may not be tech-savvy. The interface features clear buttons, large text, and a straightforward flow guiding users from start to finish in just a few taps.

2. Kotlin for Performance & Reliability:
Kotlin is a modern, highly efficient programming language for Android. By choosing Kotlin, we created an app that runs smoothly on myPOS hardware, ensuring minimal crashes and maximum performance—essential for fast donation processes.

3. myPOS Integration:
Our developers studied myPOS documentation and technical requirements in detail. We integrated the payment APIs seamlessly, enabling secure transactions with real-time confirmations. The app works in harmony with the POS hardware’s card reader and NFC capabilities.

4. App Scalability & Maintenance:
We built the solution with future growth in mind. The codebase is clean and modular, making it easy to update features, support additional payment methods, or adapt the UI for different branding needs.

Key Features

1. Intuitive Donation Flow: A simple step-by-step donation process that anyone can follow in seconds.

2. Customizable Amounts:
Users can choose from preset donation amounts or type in a custom figure, ensuring flexibility.

3. Secure, Contactless Payments:
With integrated NFC and card-swiping technology, donors can pay securely—no extra hardware needed.

4. Language & Currency Adaptability:
Although the first deployment targets Dutch churches, the app is designed to support multiple languages and currencies for international expansion.

5. Administration Dashboard (Future Roadmap):
We laid the groundwork for an admin dashboard that will allow churches to track real-time donations, generate reports, and update interface settings.

Technology Stack

• Programming Language: Kotlin

• Platform: Android-based myPOS POS terminals

• UI/UX Tools: Design platforms for wireframing and prototyping, ensuring a user-first interface

• Integration: Secure Payment APIs from myPOS.eu

This technology stack ensures top-tier performance, secure transactions, and a robust code base that can be upgraded as Donatiezuil’s needs evolve.

Results & Impact

The result is an easy-to-use, visually appealing donation MVP app that enables churches to embrace contactless payments without hassle. Here’s how Donatiezuil’s new solution is making a difference:

1. Increased Donation Convenience:
Visitors can contribute to the church’s mission without handling cash, leading to more frequent and spontaneous donations.

2. Future-Proofing Church Donations:
By offering digital payments, churches can stay relevant in a rapidly changing financial landscape.

3. Enhanced Trust and Security:
Donors feel confident knowing transactions are secured and validated by a proven POS platform.

4. Scalable Model for Expansion:
Donatiezuil can easily replicate this solution for additional churches—or even other charities—across the Netherlands and beyond.
