E-Fundraiser

### Your fundraising hub, not just a donate page

The E-Fundraiser is your organization's giving hub: your branding, every active campaign as a card with goal progress, and a Quick Donation bar for supporters who already know their amount. Donors browse, pick, and check out without leaving your page.

- Campaign cards with images, descriptions, and goal meters
- Quick Donation with preset and custom amounts
- Recent-gift activity that shows a living community
- Built mobile-first, because most donors arrive on a phone

#### Three steps, or one tap

Checkout collects the gift, the donor, and the payment in one short flow. Apple Pay and Google Pay sit up front, cards and Link cover everyone else, and donors can opt to cover fees.

- One-time or recurring, chosen at checkout
- Fee coverage framed as generosity, controlled by you
- Instant confirmation plus a branded, tax-ready receipt

72%

of donors on Donatefy choose to cover the processing fee

### Every way to accept donations online, one checkout

Each channel is a different front door. They all lead to one ledger, one donor record, one receipt system.

#### Standalone campaign pages

A focused page per campaign with its own link, ideal for email appeals, emergency relief, seasonal pushes, building funds, sponsorships, and social campaigns. Share by link, email, social, text, or print.

#### QR-code fundraising

Connect physical moments to digital checkout. Put campaign QR codes on flyers, posters, direct mail, table displays, screens, and event materials; donors scan and land directly on the gift.

#### Embedded giving

Add Donatefy-powered donate buttons and campaign components to the website you already have.

#### Donation forms

Form-based experiences with campaign selection, custom donor fields, and branded checkout for the use cases a page does not fit. Included on Growth plans and above. Read [donation form best practices](https://www.donatefy.org/blog/why-long-donation-forms-are-costing-you-thousands-and-how-to-fix-them).

### Recurring online giving: turn one-time generosity into predictable support.

Donors choose monthly or flexible frequencies and give until they decide to stop. They manage plans in the Donor Portal; you see every plan and upcoming charge in the Admin Portal.

### Online fundraising questions

Growing monthly giving? Read [building a sustainer program that survives year two](https://www.donatefy.org/guide-sustainer-program).

**Can we add online giving to our existing website?**

Yes. Add Donatefy donate buttons and embedded campaign components to your current site, or link out to your E-Fundraiser and standalone campaign pages. Most organizations run both.

**Which payment methods can donors use online?**

Credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay express checkout, Link, and ACH bank transfer, plus supported digital wallets such as Samsung Pay where available. In-person channels add contactless card-present payment.

**Do QR code donations need special hardware?**

No. A QR code is just a printed door to your campaign page. Donors scan it with their own phones, and QR code gifts land in the same ledger as everything else.

**How fast can we launch a new online appeal?**

Minutes. Create the campaign once in the [Campaign Builder](https://www.donatefy.org/campaign-management), and it is immediately available to your giving site, standalone page, QR code, and any kiosk or device you assign it to.

**Is online giving free?**

The Free plan is $0 a month and includes the giving site, campaign pages, QR codes, embeds, recurring giving, the Donor Portal, and branded receipts, with a 1.0% platform fee. Processing by Stripe appears separately in your own Stripe account. See [pricing](https://www.donatefy.org/pricing).

**Can donors give by bank transfer?**

Yes. Online giving takes ACH bank transfers on every plan, including Free. Bank gifts land in the same ledger, with the same automatic receipt, as card and wallet gifts.

**Which plans include donation forms?**

Donation forms are included on Growth and above. The giving site, campaign pages, QR codes, and embeds are on every plan.

### Online is half the story.

The same campaigns run on kiosks, handhelds, and the Mobile App. That is where Donatefy pulls away.
