This tool turns a normal online shop into a page where people can give money to a cause. You can accept one-time gifts or set up regular monthly payments. Donors can use credit cards, digital wallets or bank transfers to send funds. You keep all your donor records on your own server instead of giving them to a third-party website. The software is free to install and has no hidden subscription costs.
