Launch your first appeal
Follow these steps to launch your first appeal. It takes a few minutes and needs no developer.
Before you start
You need an organisation account and, to take live payments, a connected Stripe account. Owners, Admins and Editors can make these changes; Viewers cannot.
Steps
Work through the steps in order.
- Build a storefront with your appeals, amounts and trust signals.
- Share one link everywhere: bio, broadcast, poster, email footer.
- Collect one-off, monthly and contactless gifts against the same campaigns.
- Review by source and double down on what worked.
Check it worked
Open your public storefront in a private browser window and complete the action as a supporter would. Then confirm the result appears in the dashboard.
Troubleshooting
Charities running a storefront typically consolidate four tools — link list, donation form, QR generator and reporting spreadsheet — into one, which is usually where the time saving shows up first.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to replace our website?
No. Most charities keep their website and use CharityFront as the fast donation layer that social, print and messaging traffic points at.
How quickly can we start taking donations?
Signing up and building a storefront takes minutes; taking live payments requires connecting your own Stripe account.
CharityFront in short

- 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.

CharityFront compresses the whole path into one fast, mobile-first page you control, with attribution attached from the first click.
How online fundraising for charities works.
A donation button is a single tappable element that takes a supporter from wherever they are reading straight into a payment sheet, with the amount and appeal already chosen
Fundraising analytics is the reporting layer that connects where attention came from — a Story, a poster, a broadcast — to the donations that followed it
WhatsApp fundraising is raising money through broadcasts, community groups and one-to-one chats, where the donation link is shared inside a conversation rather than posted to a feed
