Kiosk Authoring · Amounts

Author the amount tiles a kiosk donor taps: up to six amounts with impact copy and icons, a live custom-amount equation, bounds, and the recurring toggle.

The Amounts tab is the one donors actually use. It holds the tiles they tap, what each tile says it pays for, whether they can type their own number, and whether they can make it monthly.

When you’d use this

  • Setting up a new kiosk campaign and deciding what to ask for.
  • Turning a vague ask into specific ones, so a tile says what the money buys.
  • Opening or closing custom-amount entry before an event.
  • Adding or removing the monthly option for a lobby kiosk.

Get to it from Muin for Non-Profits > Fundraising > Kiosk Campaigns, open a campaign, then the Amounts tab.

Donation amounts

One list, up to six amounts. Each row carries:

Field What it does
Amount ($) The figure on the tile. Must be greater than zero.
Impact copy (optional) Up to 80 characters under the figure, for example Funds two square feet.
Image URL (optional) A picture for the tile.
Icon Click the swatch to open Pick an impact icon.

The star on a row marks that amount as the most chosen one, and only one row can hold it. That is what highlights a tile on the kiosk; there is no automatic middle-tile rule.

To reorder, drag the handle, or tab to the row and use the up and down arrow buttons. The kiosk shows the tiles in the order you set here.

To add one, press the button, which reads Add amount (n/6) so you can see how much room is left. At six it stops. With nothing in the list the tab prompts you to add the first amount.

Choosing the amounts

  • Three to six. Fewer than three feels like no choice; six is the ceiling, and on a phone-sized screen four or five reads better.
  • Round numbers. $25, not $24.99. Nobody does arithmetic standing at a tablet.
  • Cover a range. An entry amount, a middle amount, and one stretch amount.
  • Write impact copy per tile, not one line for the campaign. The tile is where the donor decides, so that is where the sentence belongs.

Custom-amount impact

Set a dollar-per-unit rate and a singular unit label, for example 50 and square foot, and the kiosk shows a live equation while a donor types their own figure: Your $175 funds 3 square feet. The device makes the label plural for you.

Leave both fields blank to hide the equation. Clearing them removes the rate entirely.

Bounds

Minimum (optional) and Maximum (optional). Leave either blank for no bound in that direction. The kiosk refuses a custom amount outside the range you set.

The bounds also apply to the tiles: publishing is refused if a tile sits below your minimum or above your maximum, and the message names the tile. Your organization may also carry its own minimum donation, and the higher of the two wins.

Behavior

  • Allow custom amount: adds a Custom tile and a keypad. With it off, a donor can only choose a tile, and a custom figure is refused with This campaign only accepts preset donation amounts.
  • Allow recurring: lets the donor make the gift monthly. With it off, a recurring attempt is refused.

What is set elsewhere, not here

Setting Where it lives
Tipping, and inviting the donor to cover the processing fee The kiosk config, under Devices & Kiosk > Kiosk Configs. They are device-side offers, not campaign content.
Impact tiers: a gift catalog priced per unit, with a goal The giving page or fundraising campaign the kiosk points at. A kiosk inherits and renders them; it cannot author them.
Which amounts a text-to-give donor sees The giving page the keyword points at.

What it affects

  • The kiosk screen changes at the device’s next sync after you Publish.
  • Donor records and giving reports: a tile’s amount is a gift like any other, attributed to this campaign.
  • Receipts: a kiosk gift receipts as a charitable gift whichever tile was tapped.
  • The impact wording you keep after re-pointing a campaign: Muin flags that your impact copy may now be wrong for the new target, because the amounts are kept but the words were written for the old one.

When it goes wrong

What you see What it means What to do
Cannot publish: amount_options[n] $X is below min_amount $Y A tile is outside the bounds you set. Raise the tile, or lower the minimum. Save Draft still works.
Cannot publish: amount_options[n] $X is above max_amount $Y The same, at the top end. Lower the tile, or raise the maximum.
Add amount is greyed out You already have six. Remove one first.
The donor gets This campaign only accepts preset donation amounts Allow custom amount is off. Turn it on, or add the amount as a tile.
The donor is told their amount is too small Your campaign minimum, or your organization’s minimum donation, is higher. Check both. The higher one is the one the donor meets.
The equation does not appear while typing The rate or the unit label is blank. Fill both $ per unit and Unit label (singular).
The starred tile is not the one you starred Only one tile can be starred; starring a second clears the first. Star the row you want.
Tiles overflow on the tablet Too many tiles for that form factor. Trim the list and check the preview for the form factor you actually hung.
