Gift Cart: a native donation catalog for your website

Fundraise Up now includes a built-in Gift Cart. After you build a Gift Catalog in the Dashboard and embed it on your website with a single HTML snippet, your supporters can add multiple gifts to a cart and complete a single checkout without leaving your site.

Gift catalogs are a well-established fundraising format, used across humanitarian organizations, food banks, hospitals, universities, animal welfare organizations, and faith-based communities. What's new is that you can now run one directly through Fundraise Up, without custom development or third-party tools.

The catalog displays all your gifts in a searchable grid. Each gift has its own page with a title, description, image, and donation amount options. Supporters can add gifts to their cart and check out, or use the Give Now option to donate to a single gift without going through the cart.

Create a Gift Catalog campaign in the Dashboard under Gift catalogs and fill it with gifts. Copy the HTML embed code and paste it into a page of your website to go live.

Appearance — button colors, label colors, button shape — is configured once at the catalog level and applies across the catalog, gift pages, and cart. Currency, tributes, custom questions, and email notifications are set the same way as any standard campaign.

You can create as many Gift Catalog campaigns as you need — each with its own gifts, settings, and embed code.

When a supporter checks out, all gifts process in a single transaction and they receive one receipt. Each donation appears separately in your Dashboard, linked by a Grouped Donation ID. Gift Cart appears as a distinct source in Insights and donation records.
