What is the Request Donations app?

Request Donations seamlessly allows websites to accept an array of cryptocurrency donations directly on their own website without technical worries and expensive overheads. No complex integrations; just a simple, easy to implement solution that works.

The documentation for donations can be found here. 📖

What is Donations v2?

We’ve received a lot of feedback from current and potential users of Request Donations. One point that stands out is that the current payment flow (redirecting to app.request.network) is confusing and difficult for new users to follow. As part of continually improving our products we have carried out some improvements to Request Donations to help onboard new users.

The v2 demo can viewed at https://donations-v2.request.network/demo/. 🌐 (Rinkeby + ETH only) — please note donations v2 is currently in beta.

Note: If you need Rinkeby ETH, feel free to reach out to @AdmReq on Discord or Telegram.

In the previous version, making payments with the donations app involved being redirected to app.request.network and then redirecting back to another website to view your receipt.

For the second version of Request Donations we have the payment handled directly in the modal. Not only does this make the process much quicker, it also provides a much more seamless experience for the end-user.

With the release of CacheDB (later in this article) we can also implement new payment methods like QR Codes, payments via MEW, other wallets and much more.

Below, you can find a video of the new process using MetaMask.
