How it works
Via ShopDonation you can donate for free by shopping at all affiliated online stores. You just have to click on a webshop (such as eBay, AliExpress, Booking.com) and make a purchase there. The cost is covered by the brand, so you pay nothing extra and you can choose which cause you want to support for every purchase. In this way, together we redistribute commercial profits to social projects.
Where does this donation come from?
Brands pay us a commission because when you start shopping from ShopDonation, they see that we sent you to them. When you make a purchase, we receive the commission and turn it into a donation - for your chosen cause. This is often a percentage of the purchase price, or sometimes a fixed amount (for example in the case of insurance or telephone subscription).
Example:
You see shoes you'd like to buy for £100. You click to the brand through ShopDonation and buy those shoes for £100. On ShopDonation it shows the store donates 6%. Because you started your shopping at Shopdonation, you have now donated £6 to the cause you have chosen.
We invite everyone to try it out for yourselves, and don't just take our word for it. All it takes is two extra clicks, which makes a difference for hundreds of social causes daily at ShopDonation, from renowned organisations to small-scale projects.
Confirmation of your donation
ShopDonation is the only platform where you can get a confirmation of your donation by email, as well as in your ShopDonation-account. When creating a user account, your email address will never be shared with other parties, not even the cause you have supported. Read more on how we fully protect your privacy.
Stay anonymous
If you don't wish to create a user account, that's fine too. You can still support your cause by shopping anonymously, without logging in. In this case, we can't send you an (email) confirmation though. You can verify your donation by checking the ''recent donations'' at the bottom of the homepage, or contacting the project you have chosen to support.
Always know which cause you're supporting
At the top of the stores page, you'll always see which cause is supported as soon as you start shopping. You can change this yourself at any time and when you're logged in, your chosen cause will be saved.
A structural difference
Since most people shop on a recurring basis, this means the social projects registered on ShopDonation can receive a much needed continuous source of income, which is often difficult for nonprofit organisations to generate. Even the smallest recurring online purchases are therefore greatly appreciated!

Hundreds of users and causes verify ShopDonation daily
The system has been set up in such a way that it is completely transparent (read here why this is important to us), so that all affiliated initiatives can see live via their account how much has been collected. With each donation, both users and causes can see whether the amount has already been paid out or when it will be paid out. Any possible discrepancy can be checked by both parties, up to the first purchase since the start of ShopDonation.

* We are expanding internationally
We are currently franchising internationally in order to offer this concept in every country where online shopping is common. That means every charity, social project, citizen initiative, community action, organisation, club and/or association can receive multiple streams of income from multiple countries.
Causes will soon simply receive one international link that they can promote worldwide to receive (shop) donations. For online shoppers, this means that even if they travel or live (temporarily) in other countries, they can still support the same cause with online purchases worldwide.
