Donorfy offers two ways for you to collect donations online with the benefit of them being added directly into your Donorfy database - widgets (cards and direct debits) and campaign pages (cards only). See this page to compare costs with other services.
Accepting credit/debit card donations (one-off and recurring) from a Donorfy Stripe widget embedded in charity's website
This option is available in the Donorfy Professional plan but not the Essentials plan
What is it? HTML code provided by Donorfy to embed in the charity website to provide an online giving form.
Pros
- data goes straight into Donorfy
- low cost (see comparison)
- can be styled to charity's own brand
Cons
- needs web designer involvement, but very simple to do
- cards expire so not the best payment method for recurring
Accepting recurring donations via a GoCardless Direct Debit widget embedded in charity's website
This option is available in the Donorfy Professional plan but not the Essentials plan
What is it? HTML code provided by Donorfy to embed in the charity website to provide an online giving form.

Accepting credit/debit card donations (one-off and recurring) from a free-standing Donorfy Campaign page
This option is available in both the Donorfy Essentials and Professional plans

- limited styling (upload logo, add text and HTML if required)
- more expensive (see comparison)
- still requires some web designer work to embed it in the website
- data needs exporting from JG and importing into Donorfy (only Fundraising Page donations come into Donorfy)
