In February 2025, DipJar officially ceased all operations, leaving over 3,500 organizations affected by the closure without device access, technical support, or transaction processing. For nonprofits and businesses that relied on this trusted donation tool, the shutdown created an urgent need to find a reliable alternative.​​ The good news? This is your opportunity to upgrade to a more flexible, powerful fundraising solution built for how donors give today.


What Was DipJar?

DipJar was an innovative electronic donation device designed for  fast,cashless giving. Donors simply dipped their card for a preset amount, making spontaneous giving effortless at fundraising events, retail counters, community centers, and pop-up donation stations.​​

Why Did DipJar Shut Down?

DipJar's parent company cited business sustainability issues. The shutdown was immediate, leaving organizations without access to devices, transaction processing, technical support, or donor data.​​
