Here, The aim is to implement a secure and scalable Contactless Donation Service that integrates with Salesforce Public Guest User Sites to enhance the NGO’s fundraising capabilities.
This will involve leveraging Salesforce Experience Cloud to centralize donation processes, integrate contactless payment options, and will ensure a seamless donor experience across multiple digital channels such as mobile wallets, SMS, emails, and social media, while automating data capture and reporting within Salesforce for efficient campaign management.
