Comment on self hosted system for managing donations at museum

How many of these donations are you processing per minute? Are they mostly cash, credit card, or what? If credit card, your payment processor likely has a category for donations, as well as different types of sale. These days they can usually email a receipt or print on on the payment terminal. I don’t see much self-hosted software in this.

They are mostly cash. On average 5-10/day over a 5 hrs day.

Pen and paper then. Too many computers.

Yeah at that rate if you actually should be involving a computer you’re best off in a spreadsheet or maaaaybe a database frontend like saltcorn.

You nave opened a new world vere. I had no idea that these no code solutions were not available. Sounds very interesting.

Another idea I forgot to share it potentially just creating a worksheet that you can send to a printing company for paper forms. There’s tons of printing companies which you can just provide a PDF or even just a logo and some info and get a custom pad of paper printed with that, so it’ll have your logo and the fields you need then just rip off each sheet after it’s written out.
Otherwise if you really need this info digital, a spreadsheet or something in saltcorn is probably your best bet, but really you want to keep it simple at the scale you described (hence the custom printed pads of paper idea)
