Problem and result
Set Up a Donation Page on Shopify: Make Giving Part of the Basket
Many shoppers will add a small gift to a cause when it is offered at the right moment and costs one tap. The option has to be clear about where the money goes, easy to remove and kept apart in your reports so the totals can be passed on properly.
No easy way to give
Customers who would add a few dollars for a cause have no option in the cart. Where one exists it is buried, unclear about the cause or mixed up with product sales in reports.
A clear, one-tap way to give
A short donation choice sits in the cart with preset amounts, a custom amount and an optional round-up. The cause is named, the donation can be removed with one tap and it is tracked as its own product.
What is included
What Your Donation Feature Includes
When you set up a donation feature on Shopify, you get a working option in the cart and a clean way to track what was given.
Implementation checklist
- A donation block in the cart and drawer with preset amounts
- A custom amount option handled through a donation product
- An optional round-up to the next whole amount
- A message naming the cause and what the money does
- The donation added as a separate line that can be removed in one tap
- A donation product and tag that keep gifts apart in reports
- An optional dedicated donation page with the same choices
- Handover note explaining how to report on donations
Rules for accepting donations differ by payment provider, country and organisation type, and tax or charity registration is your responsibility, so we give no legal or tax advice. We do not collect or pass on the money, and a donation here is a normal order line.
See how it works
From No Way to Give to a One-Tap Donation
Follow one visit. The shopper adds a small donation in the cart, sees the total update and checks out.

What we need to get started
What We Need to Get Add Donation Feature to Cart Started
To begin the cart donation you only need to pick an access route and answer the points below, and your live store stays untouched until you say go.
Collaborator access
For the cart donation we only need a collaborator request approved in your admin, because that gives us the access the job needs and nothing more.
No store yet? We build it first
With no store yet, we set one up in our Partner account, build the cart donation there and transfer ownership to you, so the only thing left for you is choosing a plan.
Prefer to share a login?
A staff account works for the cart donation if you prefer one, but a collaborator request is simpler to withdraw so it is our first suggestion.
Your cause
Tell us the cause, the wording and the preset amounts you want to offer.
Rules
Confirm that your payment provider allows donations in your situation.
One decision maker
Someone with the final say on the cart donation, so the two included revision rounds go as far as possible.
When you cannot decide how to give access for the cart donation, tell us in the form that follows checkout and we will choose the simplest route with you.
