About Shopify
Shopify is one of the most popular ecommerce platforms for nonprofits and charities (and for-profits too) because it’s simple to set up. They claim to be so user friendly, that you create a live Shopify store in just a few hours.
Shopify can be an ideal platform to:
· Accept donations via social media, including one-time donations or monthly subscriptions.
· Sell and fulfill event tickets
· Sell merchandise supporting your cause online and leverage their fulfillment capabilities
· Sell in person using their point of sale (POS) integration.
· Leverage email and SMS marketing to get send updates, offers and donation links to your subscriber donors
· Send automated tax receipts
Some premium features may require an additional monthly fee.
