What would you like to know?
Zelle
Unlike other payment methods, Zelle goes through your banking app, so you cannot just scan the QR code with your camera.
In your banking app, go to Zelle and “Send money with Zelle” (different bank apps vary slightly, but most are something similar to this.)
Use the search bar to input the information displayed above the QR code in the image to the right/below or click on the “Scan QR code to pay with Zelle” function underneath the search bar
Check “Paying a friend, partner or family member” option, and hit Next.
Enter the proper amount and label “Retreat Registration” or “Retreat Donation” or “7th Tradition”
Send
CashApp
If you want to pay by Cash App, follow these instructions:
Open Cash App on your phone (it is a phone only app) and hit “$”
Click the scan logo (top left) and scan the code to the right/below
Put in the proper money amount and hit “pay”
Label it “Retreat Registration” or “Retreat Donation” or “7th Tradition” in the “For” section (make sure it says for recipient)
Send
Venmo
If you want to pay by Venmo, follow these instructions:
Open the Venmo App on your phone and hit Pay/Request
Choose to scan the QR code or enter the value displayed above the QR code in the image to the right/below
Once it brings up the treasurers information displayed in the image to the right push the payment button
Label this as “Retreat Registration” or “Retreat Donation” or “7th Tradition” in the “Wha't’s this for?” line
Put in the proper money amount and hit “Pay”
