YES, IT'S FREE !

With ShopDonation, you can raise a free donation when you shop online. It is completely free and you will not pay more than what you would normally pay. Simply look at the online stores affiliated with ShopDonation (such as Manor, Media Markt or Booking.com) and click on the button ''Visit shop’’. This will lead you to the online store where you can make a purchase.

Once you make a purchase on this online store, a donation will be made to the association or the NGO that you have previously selected. A percentage of the total purchase will be directly given to the social project. You do not have to worry about anything. The transfer is made automatically between the online store and the cause you have decided to support.

You will find all the associations that you can currently support on the cause page.

How is that possible ? 

Every time that you shop at an affiliated online store, ShopDonation receives a commission. This commission is then transformed into a donation to the association of your choice. By shopping through this Swiss social platform, we can together support social projects, NGOs, civilian initiatives, community clubs, and/or charities in Switzerland.

ShopDonation is therefore responsible for collecting the commission offered by the online shop and transforming it into a donation to the association on your behalf. While a part of the commission serves to cover the operating expenses of the platform, most of the commission is given to the association.

For complete transparency, you can always check the donations that are effectively passed to associations on this page. Furthermore, you can visualise at any time the amount or the history of your donations directly from your user account.

Several national organisations already trust and use ShopDonation for fundraising.

Example: let’s say you book a hotel on booking.com for 500.- CHF. If you first go through ShopDonation to make your booking on booking.com, your purchase will generate a donation of 12.- CHF (2.4% of 500.- CHF). This donation is entirely distributed to the social project that you have previously chosen.

In summary, you can shop at your usual online stores and continue paying the same price as you did before. You simply need to pass through ShopDonation first to support a cause that you like for free.

What is the potential of a system like ShopDonation ? 

In 2018, people in Switzerland shopped for almost 10 billion Swiss francs online. The vast majority of this amount, or 7.6 billion, was spent on Swiss merchant platforms. If all Swiss users would use ShopDonation to shop online, hundreds of millions of Swiss francs could be distributed to NGOs and associations all over the world.

All you need to do is click via ShopDonation before you shop online. It’s as simple as that and it does not cost you anything more.

By adopting this new habit and inviting others to do the same, we can bring, together, purpose into the online shopping ecosystem in Switzerland. Instead of shopping online through search engines like Google, you can simply do the same research….on shopdonation.ch directly.

We have noticed that over 90% of users on ShopDonation support causes that they already knew before. Word of mouth, as well as good communication between the association and its network, are the most important factors for successful fundraising.

ShopDonation’s growth model is primarily based on recommendations and the active engagement of its community members. If you have friends, family members, or acquaintances who run an association, a social project, or a sports club, let them know about the potential offered by ShopDonation.

We always welcome new creative ideas to support social projects.
