Collecting in person

Collect is a phone-sized screen for taking cash, checks, charity cards and Zelle on the go — pick the person, type the amount, tap how they paid, Save. The kiosk is a tablet in the lobby where people tap an amount and pay by card.

Everything a new collector or gabbai needs on day one: sign in, put Yahiv on the home screen, collect, and hand in at the end.

Give a collector, meshulach or volunteer their own login. They see only what you allow — often only their own gifts.

In a basement, a hall or a wedding with no signal, keep collecting as usual. Gifts are saved on the phone and sent the moment there's signal — each one exactly once.

At the end of the day, count the cash and checks you collected and hand them in. Yahiv shows what it expects, and an admin confirms what arrived.

Admins count what arrived and confirm. If it's different from what was collected, Yahiv keeps the difference on record with your note.

Two ways: a Stripe card reader (the donor taps their card or phone), or a QR code the donor scans and pays on their own phone.

Connect a Stripe smart reader (BBPOS WisePOS E or Stripe Reader S700) once, by typing the pairing code it shows.

Turn any tablet into a giving kiosk: big "Tap to give" buttons, card payment, and it resets itself after a minute.

Upload photos of up to 25 checks at once. Yahiv reads each one (amount, check #, date, who it's from, memo) and suggests the person — you confirm and it's recorded as a check waiting to be deposited.

A fast routine for a pile of checks: photograph, upload in groups of 25, confirm each, and take them to the bank.

Reading handwriting isn't perfect. Fix the amount before you record — or fix the gift afterwards.

Take a picture of the gabbai's aliyos list, dinner pledge cards or any handwritten list. Yahiv reads each line — name (English or Hebrew), amount and honor — and finds the person. You check every line before saving.

Keep track of every pushka in homes, stores and the shul: where it is, who keeps it, when it was last emptied and how much it brings in.

Add each box with a number and place, then print stickers with the box number and a QR code to give online.

When you empty a box, record how much was in it. It becomes a cash gift waiting to be deposited, and the box's totals update.

Pick who to visit and how many cars. Yahiv puts everyone on a map, splits them into routes of about the same size, and orders each route for driving. Each driver gets a link.

Drivers open their link, drive stop to stop with Google Maps or Waze, and mark each stop "Visited" with what was given. At the end, the office turns it all into gifts.

Set each fundraiser's percentage. Yahiv works out what each one earned on the gifts credited to them, and what you still owe after payouts.

Put Yahiv on your phone's home screen so it opens like an app, and turn on notifications for new gifts and alerts.

Yahiv is also a real iPhone / Android app — the same Yahiv, with the phone's own notifications, the camera for checks, and Face ID / fingerprint sign-in.
