Help Center

We help Amuta (Non-Profit Organization) connect payment system to accept donations.

Amuta is a non-profit organization that aims to promote socially significant goals or ideas in society.

Documents required to enable payments

1. Identity document (תעודת זהות) of the founder or director.
2. Certificate of registration of the amuta (תעודה לרישומה של עמותה).
3. Bank account details confirmation (אישור ניהול חשבון בנק).
4. Minutes specifying the authorized signatories (פרוטוקול מורשי חתימה). Must be notarized by a lawyer. Download a sample.
5. Certificate of proper management (אישור ניהול תקין) or a confirmation of document submission signed by an accountant (אישור הגשת מסמכים).

The Certificate of proper management confirms the legality and continuity of the amuta’s activity over a two-year period. The Confirmation of document submission serves as a temporary equivalent of the Certificate of proper management.

Registration steps

1. Make sure that the amuta site matches requirements.
2. Fill in registration form.
3. Within 24 hours, an Allpay manager will contact you to request missing documents.
4. If everything is in order, you will receive approval within 2-3 days and will be able to start accepting payments.

Technical capabilities

Allpay allows non-profit organizations to conveniently accept donations online. You can:

• create payment links, including links with an amount input field where the donor enters the donation amount;
• automatically create documents such as receipt (קבלה) and donation receipt (קבלה על תרומה) according to rules implemented in 2026;
• accept automatic monthly donations (subscriptions);
• embed a payment form on your website;
• accept donations via Bit and Apple Pay;
• and use other Allpay features.

When a payment is created through an external website, API, or integration, Allpay by default considers that the transferred price of the product or service already includes VAT.

For example, if the website sends the following line item:

Product name: 116.82 ₪

Allpay displays this amount on the payment page as the final price of the line item:

Product name      116.82 ₪
Subtotal          99.00 ₪
VAT 18%           17.82 ₪
Total             116.82 ₪

This means that the line item price is displayed including VAT, while the breakdown below separately shows the amount before VAT, the VAT amount, and the total amount.

Why Allpay displays the line item price including VAT

There are two reasons for this: technical and legal.

Technical reason

When a payment is created through an external website or integration, Allpay receives already prepared data and assumes that the price submitted by the external website is the final price for the payer.

Allpay does not change the line item price and does not replace it with the price before VAT. We show the buyer the amount submitted by the website or integration.

This is especially important because the external website may have already calculated the price, discount, VAT, currency, subscription, or other conditions. Therefore, Allpay should not change the price of an individual line item at its own discretion.

Legal reason

The payment page is the screen the buyer sees before making the payment. Therefore, it is important to show a clear final price.

Israeli consumer protection law requires the full price of a product or service to be displayed to the consumer. The full price includes all mandatory charges, including VAT, if applicable.

The official explanation by the Consumer Protection and Fair Trade Authority also states that the full price of the product or service must be displayed.

Court practice usually interprets this requirement strictly: if the consumer is shown the price of a product or service without VAT, and VAT is added separately later, this may be considered a less transparent way of displaying the price.

Even if the total amount is shown below, a product line with a price before VAT may create the impression that the product is cheaper. It may also make it harder for the buyer to compare prices between different sellers.

For this reason, the safer and clearer approach for the payment page is to show each line item price including VAT, while displaying the breakdown separately below.

Accounting systems

Accounting systems may display the same payment differently.

For example, Morning may show the line item price before VAT, while EasyCount may show it including VAT.

Below is a screenshot with an example where the same payment is displayed differently in Morning and EasyCount:

Both options may be correct for an accounting document, as long as the final amounts match: the amount before VAT, the VAT amount, and the total amount.

However, the Allpay payment page is not an accounting document. It is the screen shown to the buyer before payment. Therefore, Allpay displays the line item price as the final price for the buyer, including VAT.

When creating a payment link, switch the selector from «I indicate the amount» to «Customer indicates amount» and provide the name of the product or service.

You can also add buttons with predefined amounts, allowing the payer to choose one or enter their own amount in the input field. To make one of the buttons preselected on the payment page, mark it with a star.

The payer will select the desired amount button or enter their own amount and proceed with the payment. The transaction will appear on the main payment screen like any other.

“Donate” button

In the payment link settings, the “Pay” button label can be changed to “Donate”, which is better suited for charitable projects.

Passing the amount through a URL link

If you add <span class="u-richtext-element">?amount=AMOUNT</span> to the end of the URL link, the buttons and input fields will disappear, and the amount will be fixed.

For example, https://allpay.to/~pay/dynamic?amount=300

This helps avoid creating multiple payment links for a single service with a frequently changing price. You only need to create one link and insert the required amount into its URL when sending it to the customer.

In the article "Passing parameters through the payment link URL" you can learn about other options of this feature.

Hosted Fields allow you to embed card input fields on your website or app, fully adapting them to the system's design. They create a seamless interface experience and eliminate the need to redirect the customer to an external payment page. This improves usability and conversion rates.

The input fields for the card number, expiration date, and CVC are represented as an iFrame. We provide the ability to fully customize their CSS and embed them on your site as a single frame.

Tutorial

Setup

<span class="u-richtext-counter">1</span> In the <span class="u-richtext-element">Settings</span> → <span class="u-richtext-element">Integrations</span> → <span class="u-richtext-element">My sites</span> enable Hosted Fields for the required integration.

<span class="u-richtext-counter">2</span> Click the <span class="u-richtext-element">Hosted Fields settings</span> button and specify the domain where the payment will be processed. Domains and subdomains must be entered one per line in plain format, without <span class="u-richtext-element">https://</span>, paths, or any additional parts — for example, <span class="u-richtext-element">mysite.com</span>. If needed, adjust the CSS styles for the input fields.

<span class="u-richtext-counter">3</span> On your website’s payment page, place an iFrame, assign any custom value to its <span class="u-richtext-element">id</span> parameter, and in the <span class="u-richtext-element">src</span> parameter specify the payment URL (payment_url) returned by Allpay in response to a payment creation request (see Payment request section in the API Reference). Payment URLs can also be generated using the Allpay API Tester.‍

<span class="u-richtext-counter">4</span> Add the following script to the payment page:

1<script src="https://allpay.to/js/allpay-hf.js"></script>
2    <script>
3    let Allpay = new AllpayPayment(
4        {
5            iframeId: 'iframe_id',
6            onSuccess: function() { alert('Payment success'); },
7            onError: function(error_n, error_msg) { alert('Payment error: ' + error_n + ' (' + error_msg + ')'); }
8        }
9    );
10    </script>

‍

In the script, replace the following parameters with your own:

• <span class="u-richtext-element">iframeId</span> — the id value of your iFrame.
• <span class="u-richtext-element">onSuccess</span> — the handler for successful payment completion (what should happen after successful payment).
• <span class="u-richtext-element">onError</span> — the handler for payment errors. For example, you can display the payment error message on the page.

<span class="u-richtext-counter">5</span> To initiate the process, execute the function <span class="u-richtext-element">Allpay.pay()</span>, for example, by assigning it to the "Pay" button:

<button onclick="Allpay.pay();">Pay</button>

Installments

If you enabled the installment option for the customer when creating the payment by passing a value in the <span class="u-richtext-element">inst</span> parameter, a field for selecting the number of payments will automatically appear in the frame.

Quick Pay Buttons

Apple Pay and Bit buttons will not be displayed in preview mode or within the iFrame if they are not activated in the <span class="u-richtext-element">Settings</span> → <span class="u-richtext-element">Modules</span>.

Additionally, these buttons are not displayed in test mode. As well as in live mode for installment or subscription payments.

Apple Pay button

At the moment, the Apple Pay button does not work inside Hosted Fields. We are working on a solution.

To ensure Apple Pay button works correctly, set the attribute <span class="u-richtext-element">allow="payment *"</span> in the <span class="u-richtext-element">iframe</span> tag. Example:

<iframe id="myPaymentIframe" allow="payment *" src="..." >

Israeli citizens are required to enter their Teudat Zehut (Social ID) number, which is included in the payment receipt.

Since payments may come not only from Israel but also from other countries, as well as from tourists or Israeli residents who do not have a Teudat Zehut, the payment page includes a checkbox “I am not an Israeli citizen” that hides the Teudat Zehut input field.

If the customer opens the payment page from outside Israel, this checkbox is selected by default.

Managing the field for payments via payment links

The Teudat Zehut input field, including the “I am not an Israeli citizen” checkbox, can be completely hidden from the payment page. This is useful for those who accept payments mainly from abroad.

In the payment link settings, you can enable the <span class="u-richtext-element">Hide Teudat Zehut field</span> option and choose one of two settings:

• For customers outside Israel
• For all customers

Geolocation is determined based on the IP address.

Consult your accountant before enabling this setting.

Managing the field for API payments

‍To pass the Teudat Zehut number or hide this field from the payment page, use the <span class="u-richtext-element">client_tehudat</span> parameter as described in the API documentation.‍

In Allpay, there are two types of expenses:

1. commission on payments
2. subscription fee

Commission

The commission is deducted from each withdrawal. On the 11th of each month, a link to the commission receipt for all payments from the previous month appears in the <span class="u-richtext-element">Withdrawals</span> tab.

Subscription fee

The subscription fee is charged once a month from the linked card. After each charge, a receipt is available in <span class="u-richtext-element">Settings</span> ➙ <span class="u-richtext-element">Plan</span> ➙ <span class="u-richtext-element">Billing</span>.

‍

In addition to shekels, Allpay supports payments in US dollars (USD) and euros (EUR).

Available payment currencies are shown in the <span class="u-richtext-element">Settings</span> ➙ <span class="u-richtext-element">Permissions</span> section.

By default, only payments in shekels are enabled after registration. To accept payments in USD or EUR, a separate permission must be requested.

Before requesting permission to accept payments in foreign currencies

In many cases, accepting payments in shekels is sufficient for a business. However, if your customers are located in Europe, the US, or other countries, it may be more convenient for them to view prices in USD or EUR.

For this purpose, we offer a special feature — currency display conversion. This means the customer will see the payment amount in, for example, euros, but the actual charge will be made in shekels based on their bank’s exchange rate.

No permission is required to use this feature — it is already available.
‍

More details: How to display the payment amount in USD or EUR.

We recommend using this solution in most cases.

Requesting permission to accept payments in foreign currencies

Go to <span class="u-richtext-element">Settings</span> ➙ <span class="u-richtext-element">Modules</span> and activate the “USD & EUR” module.

To activate it, you’ll need to upload a bank letter with the details of your foreign currency account. The letter must:

• Be in English
• Include the account number in IBAN format
• Include your name (or company name) and Teudat Zehut number (or company number)

Examples of bank letters:‍ Discount, Leumi, Hapoalim.

The confirmation letter can be downloaded from your bank's online account or obtained by visiting the bank in person. Letters that do not meet the above requirements will not be accepted.

The letter will be forwarded to the relevant credit company (Isracard or CAL — depending on how your business is connected to the Allpay system) with a request to approve foreign currency operations for your account.

The average approval time is 2–4 business days.

Allpay cannot guarantee approval for foreign currency transactions; however, we do everything possible to ensure that all our customers receive the necessary authorization.

When a business website has an English version and clearly displays products or services with prices in USD or EUR, it increases the likelihood of approval.

Once the approval is granted, the module status will change to “Active” and you will receive a notification. Please make sure notifications are enabled under <span class="u-richtext-element">Settings</span> ➙ <span class="u-richtext-element">Notifications</span>.

How to accept payments in foreign currency

When creating a payment link, you will see an option to switch the payment currency.

When creating payments via API, you can pass the values "USD" or "EUR" in the <span class="u-richtext-element">currency</span> parameter.

Commission and withdrawals

We do not charge any additional commission for foreign currency payments — standard rates apply.

However, your bank may charge a fee for receiving currency withdrawals. These withdrawals are made via the SWIFT system and go through a chain of three banks: our bank, your bank’s foreign branch, and your bank in Israel. The total fee per withdrawal can reach up to $40. We cannot influence this fee, but you can ask your bank for better terms.

For this reason, withdrawals are made starting from 100 USD/EUR. Any amount below 100 USD/EUR will be carried over to the next withdrawal.

Receipts

According to the law, official receipts (kabalot and heshbonit mas) must be issued in shekels.

Therefore, for foreign currency payments, the service price in the receipt appears in the payment currency, while the VAT amount and total are shown in shekels based on the current exchange rate. We use exchange rates from Google Finance.

If your customer needs a receipt showing the total amount in the original payment currency (not in shekels), a copy can be downloaded from the EasyCount or Morning dashboard.

To have the Bit payment button appear on your payment pages, activate the Bit module in the <span class="u-richtext-element">Settings</span> ➙ <span class="u-richtext-element">Modules</span> ➙ <span class="u-richtext-element">Bit</span> section.

Payment via Bit is only possible from a mobile device on which the Bit app is installed. When paying from a computer, the system will display a QR code for scanning and switching to payment from a mobile device.

Payments received through Bit are credited to the business's bank account along with the payout in the same way as other payments.

Bit button for foreign customers

Since Bit is an Israeli system, we make it possible to hide the Bit button for customers who pay from abroad. The system determines the client's geolocation by its IP.

The corresponding switch can be found in the module settings.

Restrictions

Up to 5000 ILS. Payment via Bit cannot exceed 5,000 shekels. The sum of all payments per month from all customers cannot exceed 20,000 shekels.

ILS. Bit only supports payments in shekels.

No installments. You can only pay with Bit in one payment.

No subscriptions. Bit does not allow you to save your customer card for future charges, so we hide the Bit button for “Subscription” payment links.

No payment from Bit balance. The charge is made from the card linked to Bit. If the card has insufficient funds or the credit limit is exceeded, the payment will fail.

Ten minutes. From the moment you press the Bit button, the customer has 10 minutes to make a payment.

Diners. Diners and Discover brand cards are not supported by Bit.

Name and email

Bit does not give us the payer's name and e-mail address, so we request them ourselves when making a payment.

The e-mail field is optional by default, and if it is not filled in by the customer, a payment confirmation will not be sent. You can make this field required in the Bit module settings.

Integrations

For payment integrations from ours catalogue The Bit button will be shown on the payment page if the module is activated and hidden if not.

API

Software integration developers documentation<span class="u-richtext-element">, can control the display of the Bit button on the payment page by using the show_bit parameter.</span> However, the Bit module must first be activated through your Allpay account.

For test payments, use the real card attached to the Bit app. At the same time, don't forget to activate the test mode for payment integration.
