Understanding WeGive's One Click Experience

WeGive offers a fast, secure, and convenient giving experience through its one-click checkout feature — similar to Shop Pay. This feature is designed to make giving frictionless, helping donors complete donations and event registrations quickly while keeping their data safe.


How It Works

  1. First-Time Checkout
    When a donor makes their first gift or registers for an event, WeGive creates a secure supporter profile tied to their email address or phone number.

  2. Optional Saved Payment Method
    Donors have the option to save a payment method (credit card, bank account, etc.) securely to their profile.

  3. Future Giving in One Click
    If a donor has saved their payment method, future donations or registrations can be completed in just one click — no need to re-enter contact, billing, or payment information.


Benefits for Donors and Organizations

  • Faster Giving: Reduce checkout friction and boost conversion rates.

  • Better Donor Experience: Donors spend less time filling out forms and more time engaging with your cause.

  • Data Security: All payment and supporter data is encrypted and handled according to WeGive’s Terms of Use and Privacy Terms.

  • Consistency Across Organizations: Donors have a seamless experience, regardless of which organization they support on WeGive.


Data & Privacy Details

  • Organization-Specific Data: All supporter and CRM data is stored uniquely for each organization and synced to that organization’s CRM.

  • Donor-Controlled Updates: The only information that can change across organizations is donor-directed — such as login credentials or updated payment methods.

  • Opt-Out Option: If your organization prefers not to participate in the shared one-click network, WeGive can provide a contract for a dedicated one-click network and server.


Key Takeaways

  • Donors have a faster, easier checkout experience with the ability to save payment details.

  • Each organization retains its own data, ensuring clean CRM records.

  • Donor privacy and security remain top priorities.
