eCommerce for Nonprofit Organizations and Associations

 

nonprofit ecommerce for products and membershipsecommerce is a fundamental part of many businesses, but it's a different animal when it comes to nonprofits. There are several separate considerations and features that nonprofits usually need beyond what is provided for a normal business.

 

The reason for this is that the needs of nonprofit ecommerce are often much more complex than a standard for-profit ecommerce solution, and there's specific regulation around the operations of this type of group.

Requirements of a US Nonprofit

Of course, if you're an existing or prospective nonprofit you're aware of the requirements to be considered a nonprofit. These are the qualifications Clarity looks for:

  • 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization with supporting documentation to present as proof of nonprofit status
  • Non-Political Organizations
  • Organization which primary purpose is non-religious in nature, but organizations sponsored by religious groups are eligible
  • Must not discriminate based on race or color, religion, gender, national origin, veteran, sexual orientation and disability
  • Must be headquartered in the United States of America

Membership Features

If your nonprofit is an association with members, you will want a membership management system within your website. With this type of setup, you'll be able to offer specials or insider events to those members (or even discount pricing on your products).

Donations integration

Donation integration is an extremely important consideration for nonprofit websites, obviously. You want donations to be as easy as possible for visitors to make, in order to have the best possible conversions. This type of integration can be on every page of the website with interactive engagement to make the donation process more enticing.
