When someone feels inspired to donate, your website needs to make it as easy as possible for them to do it quickly, securely, and confidently.
That’s where online donation integrations come in. They connect your website to trusted payment systems, helping you collect donations smoothly while keeping your supporter data safe.
Here are some of the best options available for UK charities right now.
1. JustGiving
Probably the most well-known fundraising platform in the UK, JustGiving makes it simple for supporters to donate or start their own fundraising pages.
Why charities love it:
Well-recognised and trusted by donors.
Easy setup for campaigns and events.
Integrates with your website via donation buttons or widgets.
Automatic Gift Aid processing to save admin time.
Best for: Charities that want broad reach and easy online fundraising.
2. Donorbox
Donorbox is an excellent choice if you want donation forms that live directly on your website, so visitors don’t have to leave your site to give.
Why charities love it:
Customisable forms that match your branding.
One-off or recurring donation options.
Supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal.
Real-time reporting and donor data exports.
Best for: Charities that want to manage donations from their own website rather than redirecting visitors elsewhere.
3. PayPal Giving Fund
With PayPal Giving Fund, donors can give securely through a familiar, trusted platform — and it’s completely free for registered charities.

Integrates easily with existing PayPal accounts.

Choosing the Right Donation Integration
When selecting the best system for your charity, consider:
Ease of use – Will donors understand it instantly?
Brand experience – Can you keep it consistent with your website?
Fees – Does the platform take a percentage of each donation?
Gift Aid support – Does it help you claim automatically?
Integrations – Will it connect with your CRM or email system?
A well-chosen donation integration helps supporters give confidently — and makes life easier for your team.
