Making Gifts

Complete donation form.

Select a form or campaign in the GC Connect app and complete with the donor’s information.

Dip, tap, or swipe payment method.

GC Connect can be used to accept payments by swiping a magnetic stripe card, inserting an EMV chip card, and/or tapping a contactless payment method (e.g., an NFC chip card or a mobile wallet like Apple Pay or Google Pay).

You're done!

If you are using an old device:

The reader will sound one long beep when the payment method has been captured, and two short beeps when the payment method has been removed. The GC Connect app will display a message to indicate that it is time to remove the payment method, and then display another message to indicate whether or not the gift was successful.

If you are using a new device:

When the reader is ready for payment, the first LED Status Indicator will turn on. The LEDs will then turn on in consecutive order when the device is reading card information. You will see 4 LEDs on and hear a beep when the card read is successful. You will hear another beep when the transaction has been completed.

GC Connect donors will automatically receive the campaign or Giving Form’s confirmation email (the same email online donors receive).
