Ecommerce Development for non-profits and charities

Ecommerce development builds an online store that fits how you sell: your products, delivery, payments and the systems behind them. For non-profits and charities, that means getting program and impact pages, donation options and volunteer information right, because supporters, volunteers and people who need help want to donate, volunteer or get help without hunting for information.

Supporters, volunteers and people who need help want to donate, volunteer or get help.

A non-profit website usually has to handle online donations, including regular giving, fundraising event tickets, supporter updates and volunteer and staff applications.

Online donations, including regular giving: supporters give more readily when donating takes a minute.

Fundraising event tickets: events need tickets, capacity limits and attendee details.

Supporter updates: updates keep supporters connected between appeals.

Volunteer and staff applications: a single place for roles makes recruiting volunteers easier.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does Ecommerce Development involve for a non-profit?

Ecommerce development builds an online store that fits how you sell: your products, delivery, payments and the systems behind them. For a non-profit, the work centres on program and impact pages, donation options and volunteer information.

Shopify or WooCommerce?

Shopify is a hosted platform with checkout included on all plans. WooCommerce is a free, open-source plugin that adds a store to WordPress. The better fit depends on who manages the site and what you sell.[1][2]

Can the store connect to our accounting system?

Often yes, through the platform's own integrations. Deeper back-office automation is a separate piece of work.
