Abstract: Abstract This study aimed to explore, using a qualitative approach, the new practice of digital zakat payment in Indonesia under the current pandemic situation. As the study began in April 2021, data were obtained through the following methods/sources: an online interview with the president director of BAZNAS, online news, and library research (examination of related documents/information officially published or contained in both printed and electronic forms). Additionally, the “Digital Donation Outlook 2020” and other official information from GoPay was used as secondary sources. The findings of this study indicated that, although GoPay is a huge digital platform and the trajectory of zakat donation is rising rapidly, systematization is lacking, mainly because the application’s user interface is frequently changed, such as GoPay Good, Gogive, and Gobills. In terms of distribution, recipients do not receive a digital benefit, which could be improved in the future.
