TheTin
The cashless collection tin

The collection tin, without the cash.

A permanent page and QR for churches and charities. Money goes to you — TheTin never holds it.

Payments on the example page go to NZ CORNERSTONE LIMITED, the New Zealand company that operates TheTin — not to a church or charity.

Why TheTin

Cash is fading. The collection tin shouldn’t.

How TheTin works: a QR code on a poster or tin is scanned by a phone, opening the recipient’s TheTin page. Stripe processes the payment right there on that page, with no redirect to a separate screen, and the money goes straight into the recipient’s own Stripe account, then to their bank on Stripe’s payout schedule — TheTin never holds it.

How it works

Three simple steps

1
Create your page
Pick a permanent link, then add your face, your story and your look.
2
Share your QR
Poster for the foyer or the plate — or open on a phone.
3
Get paid via Stripe
Payments start after TheTin approves your account and claim and your active Stripe account is ready and has a name. People scan and pay into that Stripe account; Stripe handles bank payouts.
What it costs

Two fees, kept apart

TheTin’s fee
1c–99c NZD
NZD · the only fee we take from a payment

Ladder, calculator, and a worked example with Stripe’s fee included: worked example, both fees on a $20 gift.

Stripe’s fee
Set by Stripe
Charged separately, on your side

Stripe’s own published card-processing fee. TheTin doesn’t set it, waive it, or take a share of it.

No signup fee. No monthly bill from TheTin.

Who it’s for

Built for churches & charities

Cashless offerings and appeals, with donations going straight to your own Stripe account. Churches · Charities · Cashless giving.

Individuals collecting occasionally — a koha, a one-off appeal — can claim a page too. Same page, same QR, money goes to your own Stripe account.

Your link goes on posters and QR codes. New accounts are reviewed before pages can take payments. A claim rejected before approval is released.
