We have used OneCause's Peer-to-Peer fundraising platform for multiple fundraising campaigns. We have used Bidpal for approximately 4 virtual auctions. We also used the Streaming Events platform twice for fundraising and information.
- Easy to donate once page is set up
- Support responds quickly when you email for help
- Bidpal platform looks really sleek
- Parts of the website are easily customizable but there are other sections you must seek help that prevents users from making major mistakes.
- Love the newish feature of linking Facebook Fundraisers to Peer-to-Peer platform.
Cons
- BidPal should have an app. Across two different nonprofits, I've been asked by employees and donors why there isn't an app. It would make donating way easier.
- Peer-to-peer needs shorter URLs or give an option to use a bit shorter. p2p.onecause.com/campaign is long and if you do custom pages, it's even longer
- Wish I could test the looks of the Facebook Fundraiser when using Peer-to-Peer. It launched the fundraiser earlier than I intended.
- Peer-to-peer custom pages require using HTML which most people don't know how to use.
- Peer-to-Peer: You can make edits from the back end and front end, but when you're logged in as an admin, you can't view it as someone not logged in, thus can't make certain changes on the front end.
