Lobby and counter donation kiosks on any Android tablet.
A menu of big tiles for the lobby, QuickPay's one-tap giving, donor walls, event check-in and digital signage. All on the tablet you already own.
No hardware lock-in. Bring any Android tablet — you buy it, we configure it. Registered devices are included per plan (1 / 3 / 20 / 50 / unlimited), with paid device packs above your plan's allowance.
Included in every Muin plan. 25% off for verified 501(c)(3)s.
One tablet. Every mode. One fleet admin.
Kiosk mode is a single capability with many operating shapes. Pick the mode that fits each deployment; switch from the admin in seconds.
QuickPay — one tap. One amount. Zero staff.
The simplest possible donation flow. The tablet wakes, shows one pre-selected amount for a pre-assigned campaign ("Jumu'ah Sadaqah — $20"), and NFC is already active. Donor taps a card, phone, or watch. Done.
QuickPay is a specialization of the payment kiosk mode: collection_mode = 'fixed_amount'. Use it when you want the absolute simplest donor experience — Friday prayers, Sunday service entrance, event booth.
- One pre-set amount — no picker, no typing
- One pre-assigned campaign — no staff configuration needed at the door
- NFC active on wake — tap, wait one second, done
- When you want the picker + multi-amount flow, switch the same device back to broader payment mode
Eight capabilities across every mode
Everything below applies whether you're running QuickPay, a full payment kiosk, event check-in, or digital signage.
Locked-down kiosk mode
Android Device Owner lock-task keeps the app on screen 24/7. Auto-restart after reboot. Prevents navigation away, notification tray pulls, and Settings access.
Fleet management from one admin
See every deployed tablet: online status, last transaction, mode assigned, battery level. Re-brand, re-assign mode, or retire a device in one click — updates propagate within seconds over the network.
NFC Tap-to-Pay + wallets
Stripe Terminal Tap-to-Pay on NFC-capable Android. Apple Pay and Google Pay work the same way — donors pay with whatever wallet they carry.
Receipts your way
Auto-deliver receipts via email, SMS, WhatsApp, printed slip (with receipt printer), or donor-scannable QR. Tax-compliant receipt formatting for 501(c)(3)s.
Reconciliation without retyping
Every tap posts to the right fund in the ledger and is matched to a donor record by phone or email — high-confidence matches post straight through, the rest queue for you to confirm — and a tax receipt issues when the annual threshold is met. No spreadsheet work.
Attract screen options
Between interactions: static branding, live campaign thermometer, donor wall, digital signage slideshow. Configurable per device from the web admin.
Works with your existing CRM
Kiosk transactions are not siloed. They land in the same ledger, donor pipeline, and stewardship history as online giving, checks, ACH, and grants.
Quiet hours, so a screen never reloads mid-service
Set the windows in which a screen may not restart itself to take an app update — Friday midday, a service time, a fundraiser. The screen defers its own updates until the window closes, so nobody watches a board reload while people are giving.
Zero-touch Android enrollment
Scan one QR in the Android setup wizard and the tablet enrolls itself under your kiosk policy, surviving a later factory reset. The QR can carry the venue Wi-Fi so nobody types a password on a wall-mounted screen — single-use, and it expires in fifteen minutes.
Remote commands that tell you the truth
Lock, unlock for maintenance, turn off kiosk mode, force a config sync, sleep or wake the display, take a screenshot, collect logs. A command is applied by the device, so Muin says it was sent and will apply at the next check-in, then shows it move through pending, delivered and executed in a tenant-wide command log.
A dedicated reader when the tablet is mounted
Phone and tablet NFC is designed for handheld use, so a mounted panel misses taps. Pair a Stripe internet reader (Stripe Reader S710 or BBPOS WisePOS E) and the donor taps on the reader beside the screen — unattended, with no staff signed in. A reliability dashboard shows first-tap success per device, so you can tell a bad reader from a bad mounting position.
Give by text, without a tablet
Map a word like GIVE to one of your giving pages, and a supporter who texts it gets back a link to that page plus the option to make it monthly. Useful for an overflow room, a flyer or an announcement from the front, where there is no screen to walk to. Ask us to confirm inbound texting is enabled for you before you print a word on a banner.
Offline: declines, never loses
Card payments need connectivity, so if Wi-Fi drops the kiosk says so plainly and accepts nothing — it never takes a gift it cannot capture. Branding and campaign config are cached, so the attract screen keeps running through a blip and giving resumes the moment the network returns. Zero data loss by design.
Bring your own tablet. Here's what it needs.
Most Android tablets sold from 2018 onward meet these requirements. Typical cost: $90–$200 for a new budget tablet; $0 if you already own one.
- Android 9 or later — the Tap-to-Pay minimum. Some devices report Android 11 as their own floor, and the app names it if yours does
- NFC capability (for contactless Tap-to-Pay)
- Google Play Services installed
- Stable Wi-Fi or cellular — card payments require connectivity (Tap-to-Pay), so the kiosk declines donations while offline rather than queueing them
- Optional: receipt printer via USB or Bluetooth (ESC/POS compatible)
iOS is not supported for kiosk mode — Apple does not provide a Device Owner equivalent for locked kiosk use. For iPhone Tap-to-Pay (staff-carried, one-on-one), see the Muin Go mobile app.
The community bulletin board, without the thumbtacks
The cork board in your lobby, run properly. A local business or a member submits a notice from their phone, a board member approves it, and it appears on your screens — and on your website — from the same approval.
A neighbour submits a notice
A local business, a family with a lost cat, a member announcing a class — they scan the QR on your printed board or open the link, and fill in a short form. No account, no phone call to the office.
A board member approves it
Submissions land in the same staff queue as every other form, with the artwork and the requested dates attached. Nothing reaches a screen until someone approves it — and anything can be sent back for changes.
It appears on the screens and the website
A notice that came in through your form is placed on both surfaces by that one approval — it joins the signage rotation in your lobby and the bulletin widget on your own site from the same decision. A notice your own team writes is placed on whichever surfaces you tick, so you can run something on the screens only, or the website only.
Take anything down in one click
Someone posts something the board should not be carrying? One click removes it from every screen on the next sync — and it is reversible, so nothing is lost and the sponsor record survives.
Decide the order
Move a notice up to put it in front of the next reader. The order you set is the order the screens play, and it holds until you change it again.
Set the dates
Give a notice a start and an end and it appears and retires on its own. A Ramadan schedule stops showing in Shawwal without anyone remembering to remove it.
Choose which screens
Send a notice to the lobby screens, the hall screens, or every display you run. Sponsors and community notices do not have to share the same audience.
Sell screen time, by the week and by the size
A business picks a slot size on the same public form — full screen, half, a third or a quarter — and sees the price before sending it. On approval you confirm the price, record whether the wording is an acknowledgment or an advertisement for tax purposes, waive the fee if you want to, and the pay link goes out. The notice reads awaiting payment and reaches no screen until it is paid.
A box only carries the size it sells
A half-screen ad plays in half-screen boxes and nowhere else, and a box with no size set is a community box carrying free notices only. Paid airtime is always something you sold deliberately rather than something that spilled onto a board.
Unpaid bookings release themselves
If the invoice is still unpaid on the day the run was due to start, the booking is cancelled on its own: the pay link stops working, nothing is charged, and those dates go back on sale. The business is welcome to book again.
The board is a Smart Form on the way in and an embeddable widget on the way out — so the same approved notice reaches the lobby screen and your own site without anyone keeping two lists in sync.
Transparent pricing. You buy the tablet, we configure it.
You pay Stripe's standard processing and your Muin subscription. That's it.
Hardware
Use the Android tablet you already own, or buy one at retail — a suitable NFC tablet typically runs $90–$200. Muin neither resells nor leases hardware.
Processing
Stripe Terminal rates pass through at cost — Muin adds no markup to Stripe's fees. Muin's own platform fee is 0.5% of the transaction, the same rate as online giving.
Platform
Your existing Muin subscription covers all kiosk modes — no separate kiosk seat fee. Device registrations are included up to your plan's limit; add more with a device pack.
Non-profit discount
25% off the base subscription for verified 501(c)(3) organizations.
See the full breakdown on the Muin pricing page — kiosk modes are included in every plan. Stripe Terminal processing rates are published at stripe.com/terminal/pricing.
Muin Kiosks vs. vendor-bundled providers
How Muin's BYOD, back-office-native approach compares to a traditional vendor-bundled kiosk.
| Dimension | Muin Kiosks + QuickPay | Vendor-bundled kiosk provider |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | BYOD — any Android tablet SDK 26+ with NFC. Use the one you already own, or buy any consumer tablet at retail. | Vendor-supplied bundle — choose from their hardware catalog; locked to the vendor. |
| Device economics | You buy the tablet at retail; Muin neither resells nor leases hardware. Registered devices are included per plan (1 / 3 / 20 / 50 / unlimited), with paid device packs above your plan's allowance. | Hardware cost bundled into the subscription; device replacement and refresh handled by vendor on their terms. |
| Operating modes | Every mode on every device: menu, payment, QuickPay one-tap, campaign, donor wall, event check-in, self-service form, digital signage. | Typically focused on payments; other modes vary by vendor and tier. |
| Campaign flexibility | Unlimited campaigns + funds per org. Any device can host any campaign, reassignable in seconds from the web admin. | Campaign configuration varies — confirm specifics with the vendor. |
| Donor records | Every tap lands in the same donor CRM as online giving, checks, ACH, and grants. Full stewardship history in one profile. | Kiosk-first vendors tend to be payment-focused — CRM depth and cross-channel reconciliation vary. |
| Multi-rail reconciliation | Card, NFC, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, check, Zelle, cash all land in one Reconciliation Command Center. | Reconciliation depth depends on the bundle's broader platform; kiosk-only vendors punt off-rail matching to you. |
| Tax receipt automation | Auto-issued when the annual IRS §170 quid-pro-quo threshold is met, tax-compliant formatting, delivered by the donor's chosen channel. | Receipt automation depends on the vendor's product; confirm specifics for your use case. |
| Platform scope | Full nonprofit back-office: donor CRM, grants, fund accounting, 990 prep, e-signatures, HR, payroll, compliance. | Kiosk-bundle vendors are usually payments-focused — back-office modules sit in separate tools you integrate yourself. |
Positioning as of October 2026. Vendor-bundled kiosk providers vary; verify current specifications with your chosen vendor before finalizing.
