26 Ways to Accept Payments, Donations, and Registrations with Muin
The complete matrix of embeddable payment, donation, and registration combinations available in Muin -- from giving pages to kiosk mode, event tickets to subscription widgets.
Most organizations cobble together three or four tools to handle giving, ticket sales, form submissions, and recurring payments. Muin replaces that patchwork with a single platform that offers 26 distinct embedding combinations — each one deployable as a standalone page, an embedded widget, a kiosk interface, or an iframe.
This post maps every combination.
How It Works
Every combination shares the same underlying infrastructure: a sub-25KB vanilla JavaScript widget loader served from https://muin-api.falaah.ai/embed/widget.js, Shadow DOM for style isolation, server-sent events for real-time updates, and a unified contact record. The embed pattern:
<script src="https://muin-api.falaah.ai/embed/widget.js" data-tenant="your-org" data-type="button"></script>Widget types: button, form, thermometer, popup, floating, banner.

The same engine adapts to every fundraising scenario. A few examples seeded on muin-demo you can preview:
-
Form fields + donation widget on one screen — Gala registration with attendees, dietary, accessibility, and a custom-amount Stripe widget on the same page.
-
Pledge-only (no card) — donors commit now, send via Zelle, check, or wire later. The reconciliation matcher links the incoming bank transaction back to the pledge.
-
Themed campaign giving — same flow, different look. Ramadan dark-mode and Building Expansion accessibility high-contrast both ship out of the box.

Paid event registration uses the same engine — registration form fields and tiered fee presets next to a real Stripe card widget on a single screen:

Iframe Embeds
For sites that prefer iframes over script tags, three iframe embed URLs are available:
| Embed | URL |
|---|---|
| Campaign Thermometer | /embed/thermometer/{uuid} |
| Full Campaign | /embed/campaign/{uuid} |
| Event Thermometer | /embed/event-thermometer/{uuid} |
All iframe routes include frame-ancestors * in the CSP header, allowing embedding on any domain.
What Makes This Different
One contact record. Whether someone donates, registers for an event, fills out a form, or buys a subscription, their record is the same. No duplicate contacts.
One reporting layer. Revenue from donations, ticket sales, form payments, and subscriptions all appear in the same financial reports.
One configuration surface. Branding, payment processing, email templates, and workflow triggers are configured once and applied everywhere.
The Technical Foundation
All 26 combinations run on the same embed architecture: a sub-25KB vanilla JavaScript loader, Shadow DOM for CSS isolation, server-sent events for real-time updates, and CORS headers for cross-origin embedding. For the engineering deep dive, see How We Built Real-Time Embeddable Widgets.
The Vision
Configure once, deploy everywhere. For the full argument on why this matters, see One Platform, Every Touchpoint.
