Company purchases

By making business purchases via ShopDonation, companies generate free donations for social initiatives. The brand covers the cost, so you pay nothing extra: click on a webshop (such as Dell, Microsoft or Booking.com) and buy as usual.

For every purchase you choose which cause to support. Done consistently, this becomes a continuous source of funding for social projects.

Business providers

In our shop overview, the Business category shows providers of subscriptions, insurance, office supplies, printing, flights and hotel bookings.

Please note: very large purchases are often made by phone through an account manager. Such offline purchases can't be tracked and don't generate donations.

Small & medium-sized enterprises

ShopDonation suits small and medium-sized businesses particularly well. Some of the best examples are regional IT companies that buy online for their clients, generating ongoing donations for social causes.

With an account, the causes you support can see what your business contributes. Questions or want a customised setup? Contact us, we're happy to help.

Frequently asked questions

Does my business pay more when using ShopDonation?
No. You pay exactly the same amount as if you went directly to the provider's website.
Why would the brands pay for the donation?
The brands reward us every time we bring a customer to their website, and we share the commission we receive as a donation to your chosen cause. The funds come from their marketing budget, similar to what they'd spend on online ads.

Brands don't pay anything upfront; they only pay a commission after a purchase has been made. Each brand sets its own commission rate.
Can I even save money when using ShopDonation?
Yes! We negotiate exclusive deals, promotions and discounts with our affiliated brands, so your business can even save money by buying through ShopDonation.
Will you share my data with any commercial third parties?
No. We never share data with any third party that isn't necessary for ShopDonation to work. We don't share any data with brands, not even with the cause you support.
Which brands are available on your website?
Many popular brands work with us, including Booking.com, AliExpress, eBay and many more. See the full list on our shop overview page.
Will using ShopDonation impact my loyalty points at brands I shop at?
No, you earn the same loyalty points as when you go directly to the webshop.
How can I verify that it really works?
Both shoppers and causes can see all transactions and track funds raised in real time. Each donation shows exactly when it has been paid out. Try it yourself: make a purchase and you'll receive a confirmation of your donation.
Is your service also available in other countries?
Yes, we are currently the only provider of this service in multiple countries, so causes can receive recurring funds from supporters worldwide. See which countries are live on shopdonation.org.
I know a cause that might want to join. What do I do?
They can register for free; there are no costs or sign-up fees.
Can individuals or small initiatives join, too?
Yes. Any nonprofit, community project or individual initiative with a social purpose can register and raise funds: charities, sports clubs, music groups, art projects, sponsor challenges and social enterprises are all welcome.
How much can causes earn?
An individual shopper generates around $5 per month on average, while a business can generate between $100 and $500 per month. For large charities, that's comparable to gaining 20 to 100 regular monthly donors, without the usual recruitment costs.
What if I see a brand that I don't like on your website?
Causes can disable any brand for their shoppers. Ask the cause to disable the brand; it will then no longer appear when that cause is selected.
Can I know more about how this concept was founded?
Yes, read about it on our About page. In short: ShopDonation began as a grassroots passion project, never took investors, and grew thanks to a loyal community of socially engaged supporters.
