Donation Shop and Donation Widget by The Cookie Labs – New Ways to Enhance the Donation Experience

What to do when too few donations are coming in and expectations for the donation experience are rising? It’s simple: we need to excite our potential donors even more. With the new Donation Shop and Donation Widget from The Cookie Labs, you now have two new options available in the FundraisingBox to enhance the donation experience.

 

What the New Donation Shop Offers You

With our Charity Shop API, you can link existing shop systems to the FundraisingBox. Setting up a new shop? Until now, this was only possible through workarounds. To make the path to a new charity shop easier, we now offer you the Donation Shop from The Cookie Labs, which you can find as an integration in your FundraisingBox.

The Donation Shop provides exactly the tools you need to make your fundraising initiatives successful and sustainably improve them:

 

#1 Easy Integration: Whether on your existing website or in your content management system – the Donation Shop is simple to integrate.

#2 Appealing Display on All Devices: The flexible design ensures that your products and donation offerings look great and are persuasive on both smartphones and computers.

#3 Real-Time Insights: With the integrated shop dashboard, you’re always up to date. You can identify sales trends and keep important KPIs in view.

#4 Privacy as a Priority: Optional cookie-free tracking is available to support your work in a data-compliant and efficient manner.

#5 Innovative Gamification Tools: Engage your users with playful data visualizations, boosting engagement on your platform.

#6 Reliable Payment Options: With seamless integration of the FundraisingBox, you can rely on a secure and privacy-compliant payment process. Your supporters can donate with confidence, and you benefit from a smooth process.

What is a Donation Widget, and what does it offer you?

Similar to a donation form, the donation widget from The Cookie Labs allows your donors to make a donation directly on your website. The entire donation process is seamlessly integrated into the website, only more intuitive and playful. This leads to better conversion, ultimately resulting in more donations through the website. Especially if your organization has a young audience with high expectations for the donation experience, this can be a way to add a new perspective to your fundraising.

 

Benefits at a Glance

#1 Easily integrated on any website and in any CMS.

#2 Fully optimized for mobile devices.

#3 Optional cookie-free tracking tool: Track every single step within the widget.

#4 Optional gamification tools: Integrate interactive content, animations, and videos.

#5 Clear data visualization in the backend.
