How to add donations in the VK group. Donations in the VKontakte group: how to add the VKontakte Donations application

Do you have your own project or want to release your product, but you don't have the finances to do so? Since August 2018, all users of the social network Vkontakte have the opportunity to ask other users for money. And now in more detail.

Crowdfunding platform "Goals", which implements the idea of ​​asking for financial assistance for their projects, has reached the masses. Previously, this opportunity was available only to owners of communities in VK.

It looks like this.

To use the crowdfunding platform to collect money, you need to go to VK Pay and click the "Collect" button. Be sure to fill in the fields: title, description and enter the amount you need. After the end, the corresponding entry will appear on your wall.

You will be able to see all the statistics on your fees (who, when and how much money was transferred to you).

Plus, you can show gratitude to those who donate money to you. There are a lot of examples of what can be done in the form of gratitude: an autograph, manufactured products, a sweet gift, etc. You can set donations from what amount gratitude will be given, thereby stimulating you to send you large amounts.

In 2017, it is quite natural to raise money for some needs. So, for example, when a person plays and makes a stream, they can donate some amount of money to him, that is, donate money free of charge. Such a system also operates on VKontakte. After creating a public, it is possible to install a donation widget.

A lot of communities spend time and money on creating and posting content that you like, so why not set a button: "donate a little for development and further prosperity."

How users see the donation widget in the Vkontakte group

Go to your group and under the avatar panel you will see the "Donate" button, click on it.

I think that charitable organizations, parents of sick children, etc. can easily settle down on Vkontakte. The social network is definitely constantly evolving and will only prosper in the future.

You may have noticed that some owners of Vkontakte communities accept donations from their subscribers. Of course, material donations for the development of the group motivate the editor to continue posting quality content. In addition, this is an opportunity for subscribers who left donations to gain some popularity.

In order to collect donations, you need to install a special application. To do this, go to the "community management" section, and select the "applications" subsection there. In the list of available applications there is "Donations in the header". Opposite this application, click on the "Add" tab.

Installing the application "Donations in the header"

Next, you can change the name of the button that will be in your group. By default, the name of this tab is "donate". You can write something else instead. For example, "administrator for tea", or "editor for inspiration." Next, you can choose who will see the donation tab. It can be only subscribers of the group, or any user. After you configure the basic settings, click on the "save" tab. Next, you need to "go to the settings in the application."

Basic settings in the application "Donations in the header"

To access the application, you will be asked to give permission to access your community. Click on the Allow tab to continue.

In the main section, you can also change the standard text that will encourage subscribers to leave donations. Next, you can choose to approve donations without checking, or to check before the user's message is published in the group header. It is better not to check this box, as you do not know what exactly the user can write in the donation. In addition, below you can specify the minimum amount that must be donated in order for the user to appear on the entire group. Once you've configured these settings, click on the "save" tab.

Then go to the cover section. Here you can upload your cover image, as well as choose the color of the text that will be displayed in the donation. There are also options for how many donators will be shown on the cover. After saving all the settings, anyone can leave a donation in your group.

Setting up a group header to place donations

To leave a donation in a group, you must click on the appropriate tab, which is located under the main sections of the community menu.

By clicking on the "donate" tab, the user will go to the menu where you can use the button to send funds.

Sending donations

Only the administrator or the creator of the group can install and configure this application in a group.

What is the benefit of this feature. In addition to the fact that you can have additional income from the group, donations in the header also have a positive effect on the promotion of the community. This increases the activity of the group. Someone will donate money and get into that donors. Another will want to take his place. People will willingly donate funds to be on the cover of their favorite band. This will increase activity, and at the same time maintain the interest of the audience.

At the moment, there is only one payment system for donations - VK Pay. For this money, you can carry out any paid Vkontakte services.

The need to bypass colleagues in order to collect the required amount of funds for the needs of the labor collective or the school class has completely disappeared.

The leadership of the Russian social network Vkontakte announced the introduction of additional functionality into the platform system - now the owners of communities organized in the social network have the opportunity to collect money from users who have joined the group on completely legal grounds. The fundraising function works in the most convenient mode for community members, which involves selecting the appropriate item in the drop-down menu to indicate the amount needed to transfer. The name of the item speaks for itself - the function is called "Money" and provides the opportunity to leave a comment on the sent payment. Funds are withdrawn from the bank card of the account owner linked to the Vkontakte service, which provides full control over the movement of finances using the Mobile Bank system or the corresponding application for smartphones and tablets. The social network stores a complete history of monetary transactions performed by the user.

The fundraising mechanism implemented by Vkontakte in communities greatly facilitates this procedure for parent committees, teachers and activists in large groups of people, where funds are often collected to organize various events. For example, for the repair of premises at a school or a corporate party for employees of a commercial enterprise. The administrator and community editor have five days to confirm the payment and automatically transfer funds to the linked card, after which the payment will be returned to the sender marked "Refused". According to the information posted on the official page of the administration of the social network, the new tool will help young musical groups to raise funds for the launch of new albums, and the leadership of educational institutions to more actively pursue a financial policy among the parents of students. An additional convenience for monitoring the movement of finances is the history of accepted payments, which eliminates the possibility of fraud when collecting money using Vkontakte.

The limit of one money transfer varies in a wide range - you can send the administration of a group on a social network from 100 to 75 thousand rubles. The daily and monthly limits correspond to the payment instrument established by the issuing bank in the form of "plastic", and amount to 150,000 rubles in the first and 600 thousand rubles in the second cases. Thus, it will not be possible to collect more than 150 thousand rubles in the community per day of the existence of a fundraising campaign from subscribers for technical reasons, which you should pay attention to when launching projects that require impressive amounts to collect. The period of crediting the money sent by members of the group depends on the possibilities and speed of processing transactions in the bank that issued the plastic card. On average, the term for crediting a transfer to a card account ranges from a few seconds, which is relevant for the largest Russian financial organizations, up to 3-5 days if the payment falls on weekends or holidays.

Many social communities Vkontakte networks share useful information for free. Some of the subscribers are not averse to helping with money in.

That is why the developers from Happy Santa have created a convenient application with which you can set up donations in the Vkontakte group.

At the moment, you can donate to electronic wallets: Yandex.Money, PayPal and QIWI. For legal entities - Cloudpayments.
