    Donorbox
    I think Donorbox is well suited to an environment that has a lot of traffic and could be prone to bottlenecks, like a check-in desk, where it's an important spot to engage visitors for donations but cannot be efficiently done in an individual, personal way - much more engaging to have it as a self-serve kiosk that visitors can engage with using various forms of payment.

    If you are doing this for fun, and don't actually need the money that you raise through Flipcause, they're great, but if you need the funds to, say, run payroll or pay rent, do not even THINK of using them. You will spend a lot of time tearing your hair out, and sending yet another email begging them to transfer funds

    • You have to contact them multiple times to get them to give you your money.
    • It generally takes at least a month to get funds from them to you.
    • They take a really long time to respond to support emails, if they respond at all.

    Flipcause has amazingly responsive customer support staff and "Success Teams." When you sign up, your Success Manager makes sure you have all the information and support needed to get up and running quickly and easily. Your Success Team will happily provide support on an on-going basis as needed, although we have not needed much support due to the easy-to-use interface

    Donorbox
    Donorbox had more customization options and a better overall interface for public-facing donor engagement, as well as backend administration, than cheaper alternatives like Zeffy and Givebutter. We determined that it was worth paying more for the Donorbox subscription to have a better-looking and better-functioning donor kiosk that would meet our institution's standards and inspire trust in donations.

    We previously used Network for Good to process online donations and to sell event tickets, but Flipcause has proven much better at meeting our needs. I prefer the Flipcause interface and functionality, especially for event registrations. We have also used PayPal and PayPal Here to collect donations online and in person. While these are trusted and recognizable for our donors, they are only useful for collecting donations and do not have easily customizable donation receipts.

    Return on Investment
    Donorbox
    • We've had donations of over $1,000+ a year for our NGO which is amazing.

    • Diminished trust from employees because of payroll delays.
    • Unable to plan ahead because we have no idea when we will get our funds.
    • Excessive time spent chasing funds, rather than fulfilling our mission.
    • Excessive time spent researching new platforms, and changing all our infrastructure because we've finally decided we can't stay with them any longer.
