The processing fees can't be beat. After years of use now we have not had any real issues\! > > **Cons**: I do wish you could receive email notifications of new donations when on basic plan. Other than that no complaints\! > > I have been using donately for many years now with zero issues\! So great. Incredible. We love it. No need to change\! ----- ### "100% Would Recommend" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *25 January 2026* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was super easy to set up. I was able to get everything set up and integrated with in an hour. The donate page was on my website and across social media way faster I dreamed of. > > **Cons**: I would like a little more customization on the campaign pages. It is a very standard page that looks good but I had a few preferences that didn't make or break it for but would have been nice. > > I love it so far. I have tried many other platforms and Donately was by far my favorite. The simplicity of it is so nice for a small org like ours. ----- ### "Simple Easy To Use Solution" — 3.0/5 > **Claudia** | *28 October 2016* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use > > **Cons**: lack of different templates and customization > > Its been okay and it does serve its purpose. Customer support is slow especially when you're trying to have a conversation with someone to answer all your questions. Forms aren't able to be customized which is especially disappointing with campaigns and peer to peer fundraising. There should be more templates for options on both the campaign and fundraiser angle. More importantly I wish there was a way that our campaigns could stay on our site and not bounce to the donately url. This serves its purpose and isn't horrible and given that the other options out there are massively more expensive then this seems like the right option for smaller non profits. ----- ### "Donately - one of the best platforms for nonprofits on a budget\!" — 5.0/5 > **Teresa** | *18 April 2024* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Unbelievably, we used the free version and thought that it was fantastic. It's great for small nonprofits with small budgets but also larger groups who don't want to pay through the nose for an online fundraising portal. We thought everything about it was great and had no complaints. And even though we were using the free version, when we needed help from customer service, they were there and they were fantastic. > > **Cons**: There is nothing that I did not like about this platform. > > My overall experience was fantastic. It was cost-effective and it was user-friendly and, most important, donor friendly. ----- ### "Technically excellent product" — 5.0/5 > **Andy** | *9 March 2020* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The thing i like most about the software is its customizability, and the ability to deploy the widgets onto third party websites. The ability to customize the donation form to gather aditional data is great and the ability to manage formatting through the API is also great. > > **Cons**: The out of the box features could be enhanced, both in terms of using the standard donation pages, or in using the API. For example, when inserting a custom field into the donation form, there is some weird logic about the attributes on the form appearing in the code in reverse order, so a bit tricky to figure out where to place your custom object. Would also love to see more detailed reporting on the 'gross' and 'net' donation information in the dashboard so it's easier to track how much was received from donor vs how much after fees will actually hit the bank account. It should be easier to understand what portion of fee is going to Donately and what portion of fee is going to Stripe. > > Overall have had very strong experience. Wherever there has been a hiccup, it has turned out that the Donately technology was working fine, and it was a problem with a third party technology instead. Customer support has always been rapid and on point. I would strongly recommend use of the Donately technology. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/32480/donately?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/32480/donately) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
