What's Shopify's technology roadmap for supporting non-profits?

[CharitySimple]

As a non-profit consultant, I've been assisting a client in adapting a Shopify store for receiving donations for their projects and campaigns. While we've experienced significant benefits, we are currently encountering user experience limitations, particularly the lack of a customizable donation amount feature and easily customizable pages for design changes.

I believe that incorporating these features into Shopify's product could greatly benefit numerous charities. I'm curious if Shopify has any interest in making these changes or if we might have pursued a path that diverges from Shopify's original intent.

Is there potential for Shopify to accommodate these enhancements, or should we reconsider our approach?

Hi @CharitySimple 

Shopify offers specialized plans for nonprofits, such as NPO Lite and NPO Full, which include features like accepting donations through Shopify Payments for registered charities in the US and Canada.

To enhance your store's functionality, particularly for customizable donation amounts and page designs, consider integrating third-party apps designed for nonprofits. Here are some options:

- DonateMate
Enables acceptance of custom donation amounts throughout your store, treating donations like products for easy management. Shopify Apps

- Donate Source – Charity Widget
Allows addition of single or multiple donation options with customizable widgets, supporting custom price donations. Shopify Apps

- Easy Donation
Simplifies customer donations across your website, offering customizable options on cart and product pages. Shopify Apps

These apps can provide the flexibility and customization you seek for donation amounts and page designs.

For more information on Shopify's nonprofit plans and to discuss specific feature requests, it's advisable to contact Shopify's support team directly.

They can provide guidance tailored to your organization's needs.

If you have other questions, feel free to ask, and I will answer them as well.

Best regards,
Daisy
