As a nonprofit organisation, you know the importance of fundraising in supporting your mission and achieving your goals. With the rise of e-commerce, there is a new way to generate consistent and reliable funds for your organisation - the Shop & Support App powered by Little Phil.

Stats show that by the year 2040, almost 95% of transactions will occur online. For most online brands there are only a handful of ecommerce platforms they rely on to run their stores. One of the biggest and most popular ecommerce platforms in the world is Shopify with over 4 Million active stores worldwide.

Shop & Support is a simple and effective way for e-commerce brands on Shopify to give back to their communities. By installing the app, brands can allow their customers to select a charity to support after they check out. A portion of each purchase made through the brand's website goes directly to the chosen charity.

So, how can you encourage e-commerce brands to install the app and select YOUR charity to support?

Here are some tips:

1. Reach out to e-commerce brands in your community

Start by identifying e-commerce brands in your community. Reach out to them and introduce your organisation and its mission. Explain how the Shop & Support app can help them give back to the community while increasing their customer base.

How can I identify Shopify brands online?

There is an extremely easy way to determine if the website you are on is built on Shopify. In fact it can be done in a click with a simple browser extension.

The one we reccommend is called Wappalyzer. You can install this extension by visiting their website and selecting the web browser you use.
