(1-25 of 52)Classy Keeps It Real Easy!
- Ease of Use
- Customer Support
- Aesthetically-pleasing templates
- Variety of payment options
- Variety of donation pages
- Not a complaint, but I know Classy doesn't have Zelle or CashApp payment yet
- Design vs. Edit in donation pages can be frustrating. Should be able to make those changes all in one page instead of going back and forth.
Reliable and Great Customer Service
- Customer Services
- Crowdfunding and Peer to Peer fundraising
- Integration with Salesforce
- Donor profiling
- Could be more streamlined for users
- Reporting could be more functional, less basic
- Layout is clunky, but not unusable
- Donor Self-Service Portal - allows individuals to pause, start, and adjust their ongoing contributions as needed, as well as pull their own receipts.
- Fundraising Campaign Templates - this has let us quickly make multiple pages for specific fundraising campaigns, especially useful during end-of-year when we have many donation pages within a given multi-channel campaign.
- Mobile Responsive - provides a seamless experience and many payment options for those using mobile devices, including Apple Pay, ACH Bank Transfer, and Paypal.
- Peer-to-Peer Campaign Template Options- certain design features require a more technical skillset or purchase of additional hours in order to implement.
- The standard templates serve most uses, but users are somewhat restricted in moving around certain page elements.
- Donation Acknowledgement Customization - wish Classy had the functionality to embed or upload our own graphics into the automated email templates for recurring acknowledgments so we can further personalize those communications.
Most useful if it is used in tandem as an event registration/event hosting platform (Classy Event Registration or Classy Live) as attendee data and fundraising is kept in a single place.
Less appropriate for smaller organizations, or folks that will not be doing crowdfunding/peer-to-peer/events. There are other platforms that do standard donation pages well that have fewer bells and whistles but are accordingly cheaper.
Overall great experience!
- Fundraising.
- Registering attendee's for events.
- Tracking campaign progress.
- More customizable features.
- More visual user face.
- Quicker user experience.
- Integration with third party CRM systems.
- Easy and fast for donors to use - donors can chose from PayPal, Venmo, etc.
- Easy to build reports.
- Event pages are professional, easy to manage, and bug-free.
- Occasionally the server goes down during busy times, but it's never lasted more than a couple of hours.
Classy is classy
- Peer-to-peer fundraising
- Sponsor advertising
- Donor management
- Multiple-program management
- Some donors have a difficult time using online platforms
- It does crash and need restarted sometimes
- I wish it would work with Instagram fundraisers
More fundraising with less headaches
- Simple design tools for campaign managers
- Excellent Support Team
- Overall website design easy to navigate for users
- Integration with accounting software
- I'd like a sidebar option for content that remains on user page as they navigate
- Alternative look options for fundraising progress bar
- More "how to" support for integration with Mailchimp
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.
Classy
- Accurate data.
- Easy UI.
- Easy to make quick changes.
- Customer Support access (chat).
- Column options aren't universal among all reports.
- Emails to registrants: no option to provide a calendar invite.
Classy makes event planning and giving campaigns a breeze!

- Manage supporter information.
- Some elements of the campaign building feature are difficult to learn.
Classy is wonderful!
- Easy and user-friendly campaign set up.
- Accessible ways to communicate with current donors.

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

Classy review
- [In my opinion,] nothing
- [I believe] they stole money from us
- [Due to my experiences] I do not trust them
- Stop auto-renewing organizations
- [... In my experience,] you did not send notice prior to charging us
Classy is great for smaller non-profits!
- Beautiful Fundraising Pages
- Easy Peer-to-Peer Fundraising
- The fees are a little high
- I wish there were more customization options for emails and page design
Easy of Use
- The Classy platform is easy to use, both for the staff and our volunteer fundraisers
- It's easy to build a great looking fundraising page
- 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.
