Updated: May 25, 2022
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.
