Consider Classy!
- Peer to peer fundraising / crowdfunding campaigns = new donors.
- Highly customizable and brand-able.
- Ease of use on the backend (tracking/reports/donor info).
- Classy is easy to use but could offer more flexibility by giving a coding option for more advanced users.
- Some templates (like internal receipts) are unable to brand/change.
- Would love a specific campaign type for recurring donors.
Great product for non-profits!
- The support team is great and has excellent advice for using Classy in new ways.
- The campaign pages are easy to set up, allowing extensive customization.
- Sometimes their technical tickets take a while to resolve.
- The customization of each campaign design is limited -- they all use a similar template.
Classy keeps it...well, Classy!
- Customer service.
- User-friendly platform.
- Multiple Payment Processors.
- Easy to access tutorials.
- Adding Venmo and Cash App as payment processors.
- Decreasing the amount of service fees taken from donations.
- Possibly adding a field for donators to state they are a "first-time" giver or "recurring" giver - for CRM purposes.
Top-notch fundraising software
- Campaign-Building
- Donation Experience
- Customer Service
- Creating hardware (such as card readers) that connect to Classy accounts
Helpful one-stop-shop for nonprofit fundraisers
- Robust native integrations with other applications like Salesforce
- Helpful support team to troubleshoot issues and support with building out campaigns/business
- Building out a basic campaign is very straightforward; platform is easy to learn
- Campaigns lack customization options which can be limiting- while you can add code to make some changes, there is a basic framework that you can't always override.
- Slow to roll out some donor payment options like Venmo.
- Not inexpensive price point and on an annual contract, so the software is definitely an investment.

- Accurate data.
- Easy UI.

Classy Has Great Customer Service
- Customer service - especially with Salesforce integration
- Easy to set up campaigns
- Facebook integration for peer-to-peer fundraising
- More customization of campaign elements

Easy of Use
- The Classy platform is easy to use, both for the staff and our volunteer fundraisers

- Classy support (particularly chat and phone) are attentive and responsive. Every one there is smart and nice!
- There is a tradeoff between ease of use and rich functionality. While there are usually work arounds, there are occasionally things we would like to do that are not included in the platform.

- Easy customization.
- Pages can be designed to match your website and brand.
- Quick editing is possible.
- Great customer service.
- It is pricy. Classy is more expensive than our donor management software but doesn't have the robust donor management tools to replace it.
- Want the ability to allow donors to cover fees in all transactions (currently, Classy only gives the option in some set-ups).
