Why charity bio links lose donations
Charities rarely have a traffic problem. They have a handover problem: the moment between a compelling Story and a completed donation is where the money disappears.

Leak one: the link points at a homepage
A homepage answers ten questions for five audiences. A donor arriving from a Story has one question and eight seconds. Point social traffic at a page with one ask.
Leak two: the ask has no number
'Please donate' asks the visitor to do pricing research. '£40 feeds a family for a month' asks them to make one decision.
Leak three: an extra domain in the middle
Every hop to a separate donation platform loses donors and destroys attribution. Keep checkout on the page where the ask lives.
Leak four: no wallet payment
On mobile, typing card details is the highest-friction moment in the funnel. Apple Pay and Google Pay on the first tap routinely outperform card forms.
CharityFront in short
Charities rarely have a traffic problem. They have a handover problem: the moment between a compelling Story and a completed donation is where the money disappears.
- What is CharityFront?
- CharityFront is a donation storefront and link-in-bio platform for charities. A charity gets one mobile page at chrty.link that holds its campaigns, donate buttons, Gift Aid and Zakat options, events, QR codes and supporter sign-ups, plus a dashboard that reports where each donation came from.
- Who is it for?
- Registered charities and non-profits that raise money from social media, including Muslim charities handling Zakat, Sadaqah and Waqf, and the small fundraising or digital teams who run their campaigns.
- What problem does it solve?
- One bio link cannot serve many campaigns, mobile donation forms lose donors, and charities cannot tell which post, QR code or ambassador produced a donation. CharityFront puts every campaign on one page and attributes each donation to its source.
- Why choose it over the alternatives?
- Fixed impact tiers instead of an empty amount box, Zakat, Waqf and Gift Aid handled as separate reportable funds, ambassador sub-links with their own analytics, and Stripe Connect payouts straight to the charity's own account. It also works alongside an existing donation platform rather than replacing it.
- What does it cost?
- Creating a charity account and building a storefront is free. Publishing publicly and Pro features (ambassador sub-links, shop, quick donate, advanced analytics, integrations) require a paid plan.
