See How Our Online Stores for Nonprofits Work
We offer two types of eCommerce store websites to meet the needs of nonprofit and school fundraisers. We have Simple Stores and Pro Stores – see which is best for your organization.
Simple Stores
Ecommerce Option #1: Simple Stores for Nonprofits
Our Simple Stores® are a great option to get your organization set up and selling quickly, with little effort. Users can set up the store for free and add items within minutes. This is a great option for school spirit wear sales, churches, clubs, and all organizations where items can be picked up on-site. It also works well with fundraising events and sales fundraising campaigns. Shipping can be done if you build the shipping cost into the product or apply a flat fee for shipping to each transaction.
Another great feature of our Simple Stores is that individuals and teams can sell for your organization by enabling peer-to-peer functionality for your store. This allows supporters and teams to sell items via a personal store page.
More features of our Simple Stores websites include:
- Add unlimited items with multiple variations on each product – i.e., size and color of shirts
- Administer promo codes for discounted sales
- Take online donations in any amount
- Fundraising thermometer tracks sales progress
- Live stream video platform to launch fundraising campaigns online
- Promote your fundraising sales via our free Text to Give feature (US clients only)
- Customizable auto-generated receipts to constituents
- Allow supporters to leave comments on your store updates page
- Secure payment processing by Stripe or PayPal
Simple Stores Pricing
Free
When you use our free pricing model, there are no platform fees. Optional tips from your supporters allow us to offer the platform free of charge.
4.9%
Sometimes, free pricing isn’t a good fit. With percentage pricing, 4.9% is applied to each credit card transaction, and you decide who covers the cost.
Pro Stores
Ecommerce Option #2: Pro Stores for Nonprofits
Our Pro stores are for organizations that need more functionality, including automated printing and fulfillment. Many organizations use the Pro Store as part of their website as an ongoing revenue generator. The Pro store is for organizations that don’t mind paying a monthly fee and offers more payment processing options.

Sales Fundraisers Have Never Been So Easy with Automated Fulfillment
No time to package and ship products? This is often the downfall of nonprofit sales fundraisers. After all, your nonprofit is not an apparel company. While an online store can raise money for your organization and build brand awareness, it shouldn’t take away valuable internal resources from your mission. No problem!
Printify and Printful provide on-demand printing and automated fulfillment (or dropshipping) for our Pro Stores. This means these companies produce your custom-designed items only after they are ordered online. There is no need for guesswork or printing up extras you can’t sell. Design the merchandise and print it only once it is ordered on your eCommerce store. Our custom print companies will even ship your items directly to your nonprofit constituents and charge your organization the nonprofit rate. Your organization sets your product rate above this to ensure that you always make a profit.
DoJiggy Pro Stores are integrated with Printify and Printful to simplify your job. Please note that automated fulfillment is not available with Simple Stores.
What Types of Merchandise Sales and Sales Fundraisers Can Nonprofits Do Online?
Your constituents will love purchasing branded merchandise on your nonprofit’s online store as a fun way to support your organization. Better yet, supporters display your brand everywhere they go – on t-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs, and more – carrying your logo and message on your organization’s behalf.
Most nonprofit organizations that sell products supporting a charitable or nonprofit mission should have no problem if the proceeds from sales are categorized appropriately when filing taxes. Discuss your plans with a nonprofit accountant or CFO to ensure the storefront activity operates according to 501(c)3 standards. We want to support your cause but cannot provide legal or tax advice.
