How it sells itself

Attract more customers who spend more and keep coming back by making a real impact. Contribe makes it effortless with our customisable donation plugin for your webshop. Skip the tedious NGO research and choose from our curated, vetted Impact Projects. Track your impact and KPIs on our Performance Dashboard and show your customers the difference you’re making.

Donatly adds donations to POS sales: round-ups, fixed or percentage donations, or the amount a customer names — for a food bank, shelter, school or museum. Tap a donation on a tile, type an amount on a keypad or add your default in one tap. Each store has its own reasons. Set goals: staff see the progress on POS, and a block can show it on your online store. Round-ups stay exact after an order discount.

Key points
  • Get started with impact that your customers understand
  • Attract more of today's impact-conscious customers
  • Improve conversion, retention and AOV through heightened customer loyalty
  • High-touch support team of impact experts available at your fingertips
