Fundraising with Shopify
The ASF's Shopify App ("ASF: Donate at Checkout") enables eligible fundraisers to collect tax-deductible donations made to ASF in support of their cause directly on their Shopify web store.
How it works
The app gives your customers the option to add a donation to their order on the payment page when they check out. Customers can add the tip as a percentage of the order total or as a custom amount.
The app tracks donations made through your online store and facilitates the sending of tax receipts to donors after the donated funds are transferred to the ASF.
Enrol in the pilot program
We are now inviting selected fundraisers to be part of our pilot program. Contact your account manager to discuss collecting donations on your Shopify store or email info@asf.org.au.
