3 reasons to choose Donoor
Funds paid directly to your account
HelloAsso, Donorbox, iRaiser and GiveXpert collect the funds and then pass them on to you (custodial model). Donoor connects your bank account to Stripe Connect or PayPal: donations arrive directly, with no withdrawal threshold and no platform risk.
Recurring donations + Apple Pay / Google Pay
Automatic monthly/annual direct debit, managed by the donor (pause, edit, cancel). Native Apple Pay and Google Pay with no setup required. Donorbox charges for them on its Pro plan at 150$/month.
QR codes + Tap to Pay + donation kiosks
Unlimited QR codes to post anywhere, Tap to Pay on iPhone to take donations in person without a card terminal, physical donation kiosks (optional). No other provider on the list covers all 3 channels together.
A foundation that fundraises all year round
€50,000 in annual donations via a fundraising page, QR codes displayed at events, recurring donations and Tap to Pay at markets. On Donoor, these 4 channels are free and unlimited, connected to the same IBAN, with automatic Cerfa 11580 tax receipts. Donorbox would charge 150 $/month for half of that.
Why choose Donoor (and when to prefer another)
For a small or medium-sized French organisation: Donoor is unbeatable. 100% free, French interface, French support, GDPR compliance guaranteed, direct funds via Stripe or PayPal, automatic tax receipts. No commitment, no subscription.
For a mosque or place of worship: Donoor is the only platform to offer suitable physical donation stations (contactless, with a customisable screen) and Tap to Pay on iPhone for in-person donations. Tax receipts compliant with the French 1905 law (loi 1905).
For an organisation that prioritises reputation: HelloAsso has been the sector's reference for over 10 years. In return, you will agree to leave 5-15% of donations to HelloAsso via the “voluntary” tip.
For a large NGO with advanced CRM needs: iRaiser or GiveXpert (Eudonet) if you have a budget of ≥ €10,000/year, hundreds of thousands of donors and need Salesforce integration. Otherwise, Donoor plus a monthly CSV export is more than enough.
For a US or international organisation: Donorbox has its place (multi-language, multi-currency interface). For France, Donoor remains simpler.
Frequently asked questions
What is really the cheapest donation platform for an organisation?
Donoor takes 0% commission from the organisation. Like HelloAsso, Donoor offers the donor a tip at the time of payment to fund the platform: it is pre-filled but always editable and can be reduced to €0. Donoor's real differentiator lies elsewhere: funds go directly to the organisation's bank account via Stripe Connect or PayPal (non-custodial model), with no withheld cash and no payout delay. The only fees charged are those of the payment provider, Stripe or PayPal (~1.5% + €0.25), covered by around 80% of donors. For €1,000 raised, the organisation receives ~€985 with Donoor, ~€870-950 with HelloAsso (depending on the tips accepted), ~€960 with Donorbox (commission + US Stripe fees), and a variable amount with iRaiser and GiveXpert (on quote).
Is Donorbox a good option for a French organisation?
Donorbox is a US platform (priced in $USD), so paying in euros involves exchange fees. Its free plan (2.95% commission) amounts to €30 deducted from €1,000 raised. Its Pro plan (150$/month, roughly €140/month) only makes sense from €50,000 raised per year. For a French organisation, Donoor remains simpler (French interface, French support, Stripe in EUR, GDPR compliance).
Are iRaiser and GiveXpert accessible to small organisations?
No. iRaiser and GiveXpert (acquired by Eudonet) target large organisations, foundations and national NGOs with advanced CRM needs and budgets of ≥ €10,000 per year. Pricing on quote, contractual commitment, Salesforce integration. For a small or medium organisation, it is far oversized and unaffordable.
How can Donoor be free when its competitors take 2 to 10%?
Donoor has an alternative business model: we charge NO commission to the organisation. We fund ourselves through the optional tip offered to the donor (pre-filled but editable, reducible to €0) and through optional premium services: physical donation kiosks (for mosques, cultural venues), personalised support (page redesign, fundraising strategy), training. Since we take nothing from your organisation, you have no obligation towards us. Funds go directly to your account via Stripe Connect or PayPal (non-custodial model).
What does it change that a platform is “non-custodial”?
Non-custodial means the platform NEVER holds your money. On Donoor, donations go directly to your bank account via Stripe Connect or PayPal. Donoor has no access to the funds. This is a major security guarantee: if Donoor shut down tomorrow, your funds would remain safe with your payment provider, in your account. Other platforms (HelloAsso, Donorbox, iRaiser, GiveXpert) receive the money and then pay it out to you, so you depend on their solvency.
My organisation isn't eligible for tax receipts. Which platform should I choose?
Even without tax receipts, you can collect donations on all of these platforms. Donoor remains the most economical choice (0% commission). If you plan to become eligible for tax receipts later (general interest, patronage, religious organisation under the 1905 law (loi 1905)), Donoor will support you through the process free of charge and will activate the feature automatically.
Which platform should I choose if I want to collect donations in person (event, market)?
Donoor is unbeatable here: Tap to Pay on iPhone lets any member of your team take donations without a card terminal (TPE). The Donoor physical donation stations (optional) offer an even faster experience. No other provider on this list offers native Tap to Pay.
