Virtue ‑ Charity Donations

We selected Pledger after assessing the marketplace for donation apps - it was by far the most seamless experience and comes with impressive flexibility across the piece: to add causes we believe in that weren't already on the platform; to support donations by product or across the site; and the fact that monies flow directly to the charity was ideal for our circumstances as we are a tiny team, so we are always looking to minimise admin. The Pledger team are really responsive, helpful and efficient. We'd definitely recommend this app. And we're looking forward to the incorporation of Gift Aid as a future roadmap feature :)

A really brilliant app, does exactly what we need it to do without adding extra barriers for our customers. This allows people to donate immediately after the checkout process. I've found the team working on this to be super helpful and responsive and it's great how they're willing to reach out to bring new charities onboard.

So far Virtue has been a great way to enable us to connect with our chosen charities and offer store and customer giving.

It has been fairly straightforward and the team are friendly and supportive with the set-up and responds quickly to all questions we have had regarding the interaction between ourselves, the charity, Virtue and Shopify.

Super impressed with this app so far. Amazing features and easy integration, one of the few of it's kind to seamlessly integrate donations on an e-commerce platform in an easy-to-use and aesthetically pleasing way. I was even able to have a one-on-one session with the founder to run through additional ways to optimise the app for my website, and it was heartening to see the mutual passion for non-profit work. I haven't launched the site as yet, but so far, it's been a fantastic experience.

The support team has shown remarkable dedication, going so far as to grant our request for a new feature at no cost. We are truly grateful for their diligent efforts.

This app adds to the customer experience by allowing customers to donate to our Foundation (The One Foundation) at checkout. It looks professional and is customisable, which helps to create a memorable shopping journey for the customer The setup was easy and the team are lovely - I highly recommend.

Virtue is relatively easy to use and allows you to donate to any cause you want. The customer service team is quick to respond and always very helpful. I have worked with 3 different people on the team, and they each have gone out of their way to assist me.

Okay so we started out wanting to find an easy way to donate to charity and immediately came across Pledger in the app store. A great app but while we wanted to support many of the causes, both of us wanted to support a cause that was really important to us. Through the option to add your cause, I contacted Pledger and could not have had a better experience - special shout out to Mariya who kept me up to date throughout the onboarding. One thing I really like is they let you make the call on how much of your donations go towards Pledger vs the charity - including zero if you wish. Seems reasonable to support Pledger in their work and I really hope that others join in. A couple of things I'd hope to see in the future is the option to show a total donated on the site for ultimate transparency to our customers and perhaps more customisation for the built in product page notices etc. I've opted to craft our own for now. The only other thing is despite turning off the post checkout option to donate / post checkout Pledger page this does seem to randomly appear which I will likely contact Pledger for some further help with soon but for now I will continue to investigate what's causing this. We've taken the decision not to ask for customer donations at this time but it still seems to appear, for some reason. Finally hopefully in the future it would be possible to set a donation amount per-order rather than per item or a percentage. Due to the way our margins are especially for Clearpay orders this would allow us to set a higher amount per order rather than a lower amount per item purchased but overall it works okay as it is. Overall though, a great experience. If you're thinking of doing some good with your Shopify store then check out Pledger - even if they don't have the charity you want to support currently.

A great app that has transformed how the business manages its charity donations from product sales: no more data digging to calculate donation amounts for multiple charities and no more manual donation payments! The Virtue app handles all of that automatically. A big time saver and great for donation transparency too. Since adding Virtue’s store giving, we’ve also extended the functionality to include the app’s 'customer giving' feature. Customers can now choose to add to our store donations with donations of their own, post-checkout. The Virtue team is also very responsive to support requests, and to app enhancement requests. Recommended!

The support from the Virtue team has been fantastic, with prompt responses to queries and emails. Vitrue has provided us with a solution for both customer and charity donations, not all apps do both! The app was easily installed, we were up and running within a few days - great onboarding support and no need for a developer!
