Payments & Fundraising

Take payments through Stripe, PayPal or GoCardless, and run fundraising events that collect donations with Gift Aid built in.

Key Features

Your choice of provider

Connect Stripe, PayPal or GoCardless. Money goes straight to your account, not through ours.

Donations with Gift Aid

Supporters can donate when they book a fundraising event, with a Gift Aid declaration captured at the same time.

Fundraising events

Quiz nights, galas, barn dances, auctions and concerts, each with its own page, tickets and goal.

Gift Aid made easy

See how much Gift Aid you can claim on donations, with the declarations you need to back it up.

Every order in one place

Search, view and refund orders, whether paid online, in cash, or as complimentary tickets.

Goal tracker

Show supporters how close you are to your target, on your website and in the admin.

Payments that go straight to you

Connect your own Stripe, PayPal or GoCardless account and payments land with you directly. TheatreHQ adds no booking fees and takes no commission on tickets, so the only cost of taking a payment is the provider's own processing charge.

Every order, online or at the box office, is listed in one place with its reference, customer, performance, ticket count and payment method. Find a booking in seconds when someone calls about it, and refund it from the same screen.

The orders list for a production: online and cash orders with reference, customer, performance and total.

Raise money at every opportunity

Create a fundraising event — a quiz night, gala dinner, barn dance, auction or concert — with its own page, tickets, raffle and fundraising goal. Supporters can add a donation when they book, ticking a Gift Aid declaration as they go, and cash donations taken on the night can be recorded alongside the online ones.

A fundraiser report: £940 raised towards a £4,000 goal, with a breakdown by source and the Gift Aid claimable.

Claim the Gift Aid you are owed

When a donor makes a Gift Aid declaration, TheatreHQ keeps it with their donation and totals what you can claim. If your society is a registered charity, that is an extra 25p on every eligible pound, without a separate spreadsheet.
