Why Cart Items are a game changer for nonprofits
More ways to support = more revenue per donor
Donors want to do more than give. Cart Items let them bundle merch, tickets, and more — increasing the value of every transaction.
Engage donors beyond the one-time gift
Most forms stop at a single donation. Cart Items create lasting engagement through memberships, events, and meaningful purchases.
Run stronger campaigns without more tools
From giving days to galas, launch more diverse campaigns without duct-taping platforms together. One form does it all.
Fundraise like a modern brand
Today’s donors expect smooth, mobile-friendly checkouts. Cart Items deliver that experience — and build trust in the process.
One cart, multiple items
Create a single donation form that supports tickets + merch + memberships + registrations + sponsorships and more. Let supporters mix & match without bouncing between forms or pages. It’s easier for your team, and way better for your donors.
