Supporters abandon when the payment path feels slow, generic, or disconnected from the appeal they clicked.
Donation checkout
Checkout and donation experience built for donor trust
Create a faster nonprofit checkout and donation experience with mobile giving, recurring prompts, secure payments, source tracking, and thoughtful donor follow-up.
The checkout and donation experience is where campaign intent becomes revenue. A supporter may care deeply about the mission, but unclear amounts, slow mobile pages, confusing payment options, or disconnected receipts can still cost the gift.
OpenFundraise treats checkout as part of the full fundraising journey. Teams can shape the giving experience, preserve attribution, offer recurring options, test donation asks, and use AI optimization to improve future campaigns.

The problem
Donation checkout fails when donor intent meets friction
Fundraising teams struggle to improve checkout when conversion, attribution, and donor history are reported separately.
Post-donation receipts, recurring prompts, and follow-up can feel like afterthoughts instead of a continuation of the campaign.
