Frequently asked questions
Do we need to rebuild our website?
No. OpenFundraise works with your existing website — add one line, connect your campaign, and you can start taking donations in minutes without a rebuild.
You can launch a hosted checkout, attach donate buttons anywhere on the page, and keep your current site exactly where it is.
Can we use our own payment processor?
Yes. Connect your own Stripe account or use PayPal through OpenFundraise's approved partner integration, with donations flowing straight to you and donor context kept in sync.
Receipts, recurring plans, payment method changes, pauses, and cancellations are all handled inside the donor portal.
How does attribution work?
OpenFundraise traces completed gifts back to the email, SMS, referral link, paid traffic, and pages donors came through.
So instead of guessing what worked, you can see which messages, links, campaigns, and channels actually led to revenue.
Is donor data secure?
Yes. Donor context is captured responsibly, with privacy protections built into the workflow.
We store the signals behind the gift — source, campaign, device, returning-donor history — without exposing sensitive raw data.
How much does OpenFundraise cost?
Online fundraising is free. There is no platform fee, no processing fee, and no subscription, so your nonprofit receives 100% of every online gift.
Donors can leave an optional tip at checkout, which keeps OpenFundraise free. SMS fundraising and in-person giving with kiosks, card readers, and TV screens are paid add-ons.
