"We have a donate link, but it leads to a long external form. Most people don't make it through."
Client's quote
Problem
People are ready to give — the challenge is usually in the path to payment, not in the willingness.
A donate button that redirects to an unfamiliar external page. A form that asks for more than it needs to. A layout that doesn't work well on a phone. These are small things, but they add up. On average, only about 11 out of 100 visitors to a donation page complete a payment. Often the reasons are technical: an extra required field, a missing payment method, one too many steps.
A donation page is simply a separate task that benefits from separate attention.
My Role
Choose a donation service that fits your organisation, geography, and currency
Set up payment processing
Design and build the donation block so it looks like part of your site (within service possibilities)
Embed the form into your existing page
Test that everything works correctly across devices
Prepare a short guide for your team: how to change amounts, text, and settings on your own
Your Part
Access to your website (admin panel or CMS)
Registration and subscription to the chosen donation service
Payment provider account (your organisation's bank account connected to the service)
Corporate email for setting up a service account
Feedback on the layout and testing before launch
(Option) Apple / Google Pay Enabling (depends on donation/payment service)
Result
A configured donation page embedded directly into your existing website.
No redirects to external services.
The donor sees a clear, familiar interface, chooses an amount
Completes the payment in a few clicks from desktop or mobile
All access and settings stay with you
A guide: how to change amounts, text, and block settings on your own
A donation page is an entry point. But for it to work beyond a single use, a few adjacent things are worth considering.
Worth Thinking About:
What happens after the payment.
What does the donor see once the money is sent? A thank-you email? A blank page? An automatic confirmation is a small detail that strongly affects the impression — and the likelihood of donating again.
Where donor data lives.
If there's no simple list of who donated, when, and how much — you're losing the ability to say thank you, follow up, and report back. This doesn't have to be a CRM — sometimes a tidy spreadsheet is enough. Sometime it's already built in the service.
Where the "Support" button lives.
A donation page works better when it's easy to reach — not buried three levels deep in the menu, but placed where the person is already engaged: on a project page, in a newsletter, in a social media post.
Frequently asked questions:
Can we add Apple Pay or Google Pay?
Yes, if the chosen donation service supports it. We'll discuss this when selecting the tool — it may slightly extend the timeline.
We already have service — can we use it?
Of course. If it fits your needs, I'll build on it. If you're unsure — we'll look at it together and decide whether to keep or switch.
Does this work for recurring donations too?
Most services support both. We'll configure what matters most to you.
What if we don't have a website yet?
This service is designed for integration into an existing site. If you don't have one — get in touch, and we'll discuss options. A different solution might be a better fit.
