Increase the resale value of donated goods by 25% through claiming Gift Aid on donated goods and cash donations. At Cybertill, we offer two Gift Aid solutions within the CharityStore platform: Standard and Advanced Gift Aid. Capturing Gift Aid through CharityStore is extremely accurate and lets you submit claims directly with HMRC. Our latest technology also lets charities sign up donors electronically via a tablet in just a few clicks, and we even offer HTML donor welcome emails that automatically send to those who agree to Gift Aid – making future donations easier.

Proven to help charities increase Gift Aid revenue.

It's not just about being a point of sale for items in the shop; retail management software can bring so many benefits to the charity retail sector, and it is something that we at Cybertill are passionate about. 

We have been reviewing the process of Gift Aid for many years, updating our product, whilst discussing guidelines and recommendations with HMRC. The two Gift Aid solutions within the CharityStore platform automate the process of increasing funds, whilst the Electronic Donor Sign-up function simplifies the till operation, guarantees accuracy and is easy for staff and volunteers to use.

Cybertill's Gift Aid Software has been proven to help charities increase their Gift Aid claims and revenues and provide a return on investment within the first year of purchase, after filing your self-assessment tax return.

Feature highlights

Standard Gift Aid

Our Standard Gift Aid solution allows you to record and automate all transactions. It's designed to help charities notify donors and is incredibly easy to use.

Advanced Gift Aid

Our Advanced Gift Aid software means there is no need to have a separate donor label or search and enter the price or category manually – making the entire process much more efficient.

Electronic Donor Sign-up

Electronic donor sign-up saves admin time and reduces the cost of storing signed donor declaration forms, providing charities with the ability to record data electronically.

“Last year we sold over 1.2 million items… by using Cybertill we can keep on top of it.”

Gift Aid questions, answered.

What is Gift Aid software?

Gift Aid software records donor declarations, links donated items to the donors who gave them and prepares your claims to HMRC. It replaces paper forms and manual data entry. In CharityStore, it's built into the till, so Gift Aid is captured as part of each sale.

Does CharityStore submit Gift Aid claims to HMRC?

Yes. We've worked on Gift Aid since 2008, and CharityStore's Gift Aid module was developed in line with HMRC guidelines. It records every eligible sale, notifies the donor and lets you submit claims online through the HMRC portal, so nobody has to compile claims by hand.

How much can Gift Aid add to the value of donated goods?

Up to 25%. When a donor signs up to Gift Aid, the charity can claim an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1 their donated item sells for. The hard part is linking each item to its donor, and that's the job Gift Aid software at the till does for you.

What's the difference between Standard and Advanced Gift Aid?

With Standard Gift Aid, the volunteer marks the item as Gift Aided, picks its category, enters the price and scans the donor's ID barcode. With Advanced Gift Aid, one label holds the item, price and donor, so the volunteer scans a single barcode. It's quicker, removes keying errors and works for items sold in store, online or on eBay.

Can donors sign up for Gift Aid electronically?

Yes. With Electronic Donor Sign-up, donors register on a tablet in store, at a donation station, at events or on door-to-door collections. There are no paper declarations to store, donors get a confirmation email straight away, and if HMRC asks for a declaration you can find it by searching the donor's name.
