Questions nonprofits ask when choosing between Zeffy and Shift4Shop

Frequently asked questions

Why choose Zeffy over eCommerce platforms like Springly and Shift4Shop for my nonprofit?

Zeffy is built specifically for nonprofits, not general eCommerce. You get zero platform fees, built-in donation forms, peer-to-peer fundraising, and auction tools. Springly charges $45+/month plus card fees, while Shift4Shop requires costly third-party apps for basic nonprofit features.

How does Zeffy's pricing compare to eCommerce platforms for nonprofit fundraising?

Zeffy charges zero platform fees - donors can leave a voluntary contribution to support our mission. Springly costs $45+/month plus 2.9% transaction fees. Shift4Shop appears free but requires expensive third-party nonprofit apps, making it costly for organizations focused on fundraising.

Can eCommerce platforms like Springly and Shift4Shop handle nonprofit-specific needs?

No. These platforms lack essential nonprofit tools like peer-to-peer campaigns, auction management, and donor relationship tracking. Zeffy includes everything nonprofits need: donation forms, event ticketing, membership management, and volunteer coordination - all in one platform.

How does Zeffy's support compare to eCommerce platforms for nonprofits?

Zeffy offers unlimited support via email, phone, and live chat at no extra cost. Springly limits support to business hours and varies by plan tier. Shift4Shop provides tiered support where you pay more for better help. Our team understands nonprofit needs and responds quickly.

Why is Zeffy better than eCommerce platforms for nonprofit fundraising events?

Zeffy includes auction management, raffle tools, and event ticketing with zero platform fees. Springly and Shift4Shop lack auction features and require expensive third-party apps for basic nonprofit event tools. You get everything needed for successful fundraising events in one platform.
