The system and method also handles contributions to any beneficiary which could be the person making the purchase or sale or barter. The system and method utilizes a human key to make and take requests, record payments, take and certify payments between a user or plurality of users, a merchant/business, and a charity of designated beneficiary. Whereby a set amount by the parties, user, purchaser, seller, and beneficiary can be used for a donation, contribution, or payment to a beneficiary determined at the point of sale, purchase, or barter.
