A donor can access the relevant “Donate” button on the corresponding page of each of the above causes/beneficiaries (i.e. either a Social Project page or an organization’s profile page ("Confolio").
Donation contributions by sellers can be made through Controlley’s “Donation Coupon” mechanism to one or more Social Projects listed on the platform.
Currently the following donation payment options are available. Donors will be able to select the payment option of their choice after they click the “Donate” button found on each of the page of the cause they want to support. One or more options will be available in each case, depending on which one(s) the beneficiary has chosen to activate.
PayPal Online Payment.
Money will be immediately transferred from a donor’s PayPal account directly to the beneficiary’s PayPal account.
For donors who do not already have a PayPal account, instructions are provided of how to easily create one on the spot.
A small fee will be charged by PayPal in this case, deducted from the total amount donated to the beneficiary.
Bank Transfer/Deposit.
This option involves depositing or transferring money directly to one of the beneficiary’s bank accounts provided.
After selecting the bank of choice, the donor will receive a unique Reference Code in order to submit when making the transfer or deposit to the selected bank account.
Submitting this reference code during payment will be necessary in order for the beneficiary to verify and report the transaction through the platform.
Controlley does not charge any fees in this case, either, but regular bank fees may apply depending on the method chosen (see more information below).
HOW CONTROLLEY’S BANK PAYMENT PROCESS WORKS:
After the donor clicks any “DONATE” button on the platform, the BANK payment option can be selected (assuming it has been activated by the corresponding beneficiary).
Before proceeding further, the donor will be required to sign in (if not already) to their Controlley account.
The donor will then be asked to select one of the bank options available --these are the beneficiary’s bank accounts where donors will be asked to make direct transfer or deposits to.
The donor will be asked to type the amount they plan to donate and click the SUBMIT Button.
A REFERENCE CODE as well as additional instructions of how to proceed will be shown on the user’s screen and sent to his or her email address.
The donor will be able to make the payment by:
either visiting the selected bank’s store to make the deposit,
or, transferring the money through an online or mobile app banking service.
After the payment is completed, the beneficiary will be asked to VERIFY the payment through the Controlley platform.
After the verification takes place, the beneficiary will be able to generate an electronic DONATION RECEIPT, which can be accessed by the donor through the dashboard of his or her Controlley account.
Each donation contribution is publically reported on the platform. All donors can control whether their donation contributions can remain anonymous or not to the public through the corresponding PRIVACY SETTING accessed from their account settings page.
