Overview

Pa1l is a New Zealand-built digital platform that makes spontaneous giving effortless. Designed for the cashless age, it allows users to donate instantly to registered charities — straight from their phone, wherever they are. Whether at an event or in an everyday moment, Pa1l supports a new wave of donors who want to give on the go.

Our Role
Our Down Periscope team contributed to all aspects of the development, from concept and design, through to building the fully operational platform. While the product is not yet in market due to non-technical challenges, it is complete and ready for launch.

The Build
Pa1l was built with both usability and functionality at its core. Key features include:

• A secure digital wallet for fast, frictionless giving
• Comprehensive admin portal for managing charities and campaigns
• Built-in ticketing system to support event-based donations
• User management tools to help organizations track and support their donor base

We collaborated closely with financial and data privacy experts to ensure the platform meets legal and ethical standards for handling donations and personal information.

Challenges
The biggest technical hurdle was building a seamless and secure payment process. As Pa1l essentially functions as a digital wallet, integrating the necessary infrastructure while ensuring regulatory compliance required extensive planning and expert input.

Outcome
Pa1l is now technically complete and poised for launch. It offers a new way for charities to connect with donors in real time and makes generosity easier than ever for users. You can view more details at www.pa1l.online.

What We’re Proud Of
The Pa1l project brought together smart design, robust engineering, and expert collaboration. It’s rewarding to have helped create a tool that not only works beautifully but also has the potential to do genuine good in the world.
