How can I set up automatic charity donations from my online sales?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A merchant wants to automatically donate 10% of sales directly to a charity, rather than relying on voluntary customer donations at checkout.

Initial Response:

  • One user suggests this may require a custom private Shopify app, as it’s not a standard built-in feature.

App Recommendations:
Several developers and users recommend donation apps:

  • Pledger - UK-focused app for automatic donations to chosen UK charities
  • Change (Post Purchase Donations) - Allows per-product or SKU-specific donations to selected charities
  • Change Commerce (ShoppingGives) - Another donation solution
  • iequalchange - Sustainability-focused giving platform
  • 1ClickImpact - Enables tangible environmental actions (tree planting, carbon capture, ocean cleanup) with real-time tracking

Status:
The discussion remains open with no confirmation from the original poster about which solution was chosen. Multiple app options exist that support automatic charity donations, though specific features and charity partnerships vary by platform.

Hello,

I want to donate 10% of my sales to a charity but i’d like it to be an automatic donation directly to the charity. I’ve looked on apps but it all seems to be voluntary donations.

So my question is…how can i set up an automatic donation to a specific charity from my shopify sales?

Thanks

Jen

The feature you are looking for may be more custom the Shopify store has to offer for free so you may need to build a custom private Shopify app to make this happen.

Hi @rosejay - is this all sorted? If you are on a look out still and want to partner with a UK Charity - look at Pledger - UK Giving App https://apps.shopify.com/pledger. Its built for this exact user case. Your donations automatically go to your chosen Charity.

Hi @rosejay , Change’s new Post Purchase Donations app allows you to donate to a charity of your choice per product sale (or just for particular SKUs).

Let me know if this is what you’re looking for! I am the co-founder of Change, and am happy to answer any questions.

Hi Rosejay,

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 clean 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.

You can explore it here: https://apps.shopify.com/1clickimpact

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
