(Shopify Plus) ShoppingGives Checkout Extension Guide

Increase checkout conversion and brand loyalty by showing your customers that their purchase makes a difference with our drag-and-drop checkout extensions.

About Shopify Checkout Extensions

Shopify launched a faster and easier way for Shopify Plus brands to make code-free customizations with Checkout Extensions. Checkout Extensions are app-based, upgrade-safe, higher-converting, and integrated with Shop Pay. Learn more here

 

To extend those benefits into your onsite giving experience, we built a ShoppingGives donation widget on top of Shopify's Checkout Extension framework.

Our widget allows you to dynamically display any of our giving campaigns directly in your Shopify checkout:

  • Store Donation on Purchase
  • Customer Round Up
  • Customer Add-On

Simply turn on any of the campaigns above from within your ShoppingGives Impact Portal and head into your Checkout editor to activate the experience! 

Important Note

This feature requires your Shopify store to be on the Shopify Plus plan and have access to Checkout Extensions.

Before You Get Started

  1. Activate your ShoppingGives program
  2. "Turn On" a giving campaign (or 3)!

It is important to complete the 2 preliminary steps above in order to be able to see the Donation Checkout Widget in your checkout editor!
