Turn shopping into support

Choose a cause, shop at a partner store, and part of what you spend becomes a donation. At no extra cost to you.

How it works

Shop at stores like Booking, NetFlorist and Cotton On through our website. The store pays us a commission and we turn it into a donation for the cause you choose. You pay nothing extra.

How your purchase gives back

Stores pay us a commission for every customer we send them. Usually a percentage of your purchase, sometimes a fixed amount, for example for insurance or a phone plan.

Example

You buy shoes for R1,000. The store donates 6%, so R60 goes to your cause.

Frequently asked questions

Do I pay more through ShopDonation?

No. You pay exactly the same as when you go to the webshop directly.

Why do webshops pay the donation?

Webshops reward us for every customer we send them. We pass that commission on to your cause as a donation. The money comes from their marketing budget, and they only pay after a purchase.

Can I even save money?

Yes. We arrange exclusive deals and discount codes with webshops, so sometimes you pay less than through the webshop itself.

Do I keep my loyalty points at webshops?

Yes, you earn exactly the same points as usual.

Do you share my details with others?

No. We never sell your data. Webshops, causes and other users never get your name or email address from us. We only share anonymous data with a few essential services, such as Google Analytics.

How do I know it really works?

You and your cause see every donation, including when it was paid out. Try it yourself: after a purchase you get a confirmation. Read more about our transparency.

Which webshops take part?

Well-known webshops like Booking, NetFlorist and Cotton On, and more than 100 others. You'll find them all in the webshop overview.

How much can a cause raise?

On average per month:

  • a regular shopper: about R100
  • a company: R2,000 to R10,000

Our best shoppers have already raised more than R40,000 for their cause.

I know a cause that would like to join. How can they sign up?

The cause can sign up for free via Register a cause. There are no costs.

What if I see a webshop I don't want to support?

Causes can switch off any webshop. Ask the cause you support, and after that the webshop no longer appears for that cause.

Is ShopDonation also available in other countries?

Yes, we're active in several countries, so causes get support from shoppers worldwide. Take a look at shopdonation.org.
