Charity Shops

Merlin^® has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the charity shop sector with its integrated Gift Aid module for the automatic capture of Gift Aid on the value of donated goods when sold. This system has been checked and accredited by HMRC so you can be confident that it meets all legislative requirements.

By using unique bar-code labels, the system automatically tracks all donated goods and ensures that the sales process is simplicity itself and completely eradicates the opportunity for errors. This is particularly important to ensure that volunteers can operate the system very easily and the charity can be confident that it does not lose any potential income from gift aid.

Key points to consider:

Automatic labelling and tracking of donated goods
NO special procedures for sales staff - scan and sell!
Integrates fully into the total retail operation
Uses touch screen terminals with simple graphics for ease of use
Meets all HMRC legislation
Automatically produces Gift Aid claim for HMRC
Tracks all donors for marketing purposes
Links to other fundraising databases if required

Merlin Software have been providing Gift Aid reclamation systems for over 6 years to large and small organisations. This has provided us with many years of practical experience in the Charity sector and has given Merlin a 100% record on all claims audited by HMRC.
