Loved this app. It worked so well for us until they started charging a monthly fee that is quite expensive for our small business. We loved that this app allowed us to donate a percentage of sales to local charities and would continue to stay but the fee is too expensive for us!
We welcome and appreciate your feedback and would love to learn more about your overall experience with the adjustments to our Impact Starter plan. Understanding that change can be challenging, our goal was to provide upfront transparent communication around these changes.
The decision to update our pricing was taken into the highest consideration, and was ultimately necessary for us to continue offering high-quality solutions and maintain our commitment to driving impact every day.
Your partnership with ShoppingGives is appreciated and we are dedicated to continuously enhancing our services. As always, we are here to support you and would be happy to connect in further discussing your feedback and questions.

I had this app for a little bit before they started charging and don't get me wrong I think it's a great app but the reason I'm giving it 2 stars is that I HATE that they started charging out of nowhere. I'm still figuring out how to get sales in my store and I'm not gonna pay 29$ a month when I'm getting 1 sale a month. It makes no sense. What would make more sense is if they required me to pay after a bigger amount of sales or after making a certain amount of profit. Once I have a lot of sales I wouldn't mind paying at all. It's a great app but only worth it once you get sales and if I still had the donation part of it, I might get more sales. But I can't afford it until I get sales. See how difficult it is for us small business owners? So I'm gonna have to go with a different app, which stinks.

Imagine charging subscriptions AND taking a fee to let businesses do good in the world. What a joke. Worked great before they started double dipping to buy themselves some shiny new toys.
Since they replied saying they aren't double dipping.. here is a quote from THEIR site:
$29
per
month
Start trial
This includes:
.5% (half percent) of order total Donation Transaction Fee per donation
So they aren't taking from the donations, which is nice. But they are charging monthly, and taking a .5% of EVERY ORDER TOTAL. Greedy are we?

I want to note that 100% of the donations pledged go to the nonprofit. We never deduct fees from donations.

I recently tried out the "Shopping Gives" app and unfortunately, I have to give it a 3-star rating. Initially, I was excited about the concept of the app - taking a portion of each sale and donating it to non-profits. It seemed like a great way to give back without any extra cost to me or my customers. However, I recently received an email from the app stating that they will now be charging $29 a month regardless of order volume or donations made.
What's most frustrating is that there was no warning about this cost when I first downloaded the app. If I had known that they would start charging a monthly fee, I would have never bothered with this app in the first place. And to make matters worse, I don't even understand what the $29 is going towards, since my customers are already having their donations donated.
Overall, I'm very disappointed with this app and will be uninstalling it immediately. I'll be on the lookout for other apps that allow me to donate to non-profits without any hidden costs or fees.
