Incentivise sales with social impact and make even more difference for your causes. Use this feature as an alternative or in addition to discounting to build customer loyalty, strengthen your brand and make an even bigger difference for causes you care about.

What is an 'Upsell with donations' campaign?
Upsell with donations allows you to give customers a portion of the sale to donate to one of your causes post purchase. The amount they get is based on their order value. This feature is designed to help yo store lift your AOV and to help generate even more impact for your causes.
You can run this campaign together with store or/and customer donations, or as a stand alone campaign.
How does it works?
Shoppers receive funds from the store that they they can then allocate to a great cause when their order reached certain amounts set by you. The store decides how much the shopper will need to spend and how much they can then allocate to a cause.

We run mostly European traffic — about 1200–1500 orders per month. Before, we were losing up to 20% at the payment stage — some customers just couldn’t complete the payment, especially using local banks. We tried following up manually via email, but only got about 10% back. After switching to a proper payment system with local methods, we managed to boost bill pay as the failed transaction rate dropped to around 9–10% in the first month. Plus, customers started adding more to their carts when they felt confident the payment would go through. For us, that was an immediate 15–18% boost in revenue. And the best part — no more endless manual work chasing failed payments.
