quickdon

Quickdon is a cloud-based donation platform designed to enable rapid collection of charitable contributions through embeddable widgets, APIs, and donor-management tools. The system focuses on reducing setup time for campaigns, allowing organizations to launch donation forms in minutes and to tailor messaging, currencies, and receipts to local needs. Core components include a widget library that can be embedded on websites, a RESTful API for programmatic donations and donor management, and an analytics dashboard that tracks contributions, campaign performance, and donor trends. Quickdon supports one-click and recurring donations, multi-currency processing, and integration with major payment processors. Security and compliance features include PCI DSS alignment, data encryption, and access controls.

The project originated in a small technology collective aiming to simplify fundraising for nonprofits. It released a public beta in the early 2020s, with subsequent updates adding workflow automations, A/B testing for donation prompts, and plugins for popular content management systems. The platform is designed to be modular, allowing organizations to scale from small local campaigns to multi-region drives. While praised for its ease of use, reviewers note that advanced customization and in-depth analytics can require higher-tier plans or developer involvement.

In practice, Quickdon is used by charity groups, disaster-response teams, and university clubs to streamline donations, track donors, and generate receipts for compliance. It faces competition from established payment platforms and specialized nonprofit software, but differentiates itself through rapid deployment and a developer-friendly API.
