A merchant wants to automatically donate a fixed amount from qualifying purchases (e.g., $20 from orders over $200) to a specific charity project, with a visible progress tracker showing cumulative impact like “153 children enrolled in school.”
Key Requirements:
Automatic donation based on purchase value thresholds
Public-facing progress bar or impact counter
Optional customer add-on donations
Focus on allocating part of the original sale rather than requesting additional funds
Suggested Solutions:
Give & Grow: Supports percentage or fixed-amount merchant donations plus impact calculator functionality
Pledger: Offers impact tracking (trees planted, meals provided) but currently limited to UK stores using GBP
1ClickImpact: Provides real-time tracking for environmental causes (tree planting, carbon capture, ocean cleanup) with API options for custom charitable projects

Automatically donate a portion of sales towards a specific “project/charity” and display a “progress bar” of some sort on a page.
Here’s an example: $20 of every item over $200 is donated to enroll a child in Africa in school, then there’s a progress bar on a page saying “with your help we’ve enrolled over 153 children in school” or something like that.
Is this possible? Is there an app that can do this? We’d be happy to add a donate option to up the donated value, but we really want to assign a portion of the original sale towards that donation instead of just ask for additional funds.
HI @LAMBERTONES responding a little late to this. If you are still looking for a product that can do this Pledger has an impact calculator feature that enables your store to showcase your impact eg. 10 trees planted, 30 meals provided for children in need etc. The only catch is that its currently only servicing stores selling to UK in GBP currency https://apps.shopify.com/pledger
That sounds like an awesome initiative! You might want to check out 1ClickImpact—it lets customers make a tangible impact like plant tree, capture carbon, or cleaning ocean waste, all while tracking their contributions in real time.
Unlike other solutions, where donations can feel abstract, 1ClickImpact actually shows what happened with each contribution—so your customers can see the real-world difference they made. While it’s Shopify app is focused on environmental causes, you can make custom donations to projects like enrolling children in school using their APIs.
