Donations to charitable organisations

Posted by JeniferTucker on February 25, 2008 at 4:02pm

Hi there,

I'm a newbie to Drupal and am enjoying it very much :-)

Having joined The Donkey Sanctuary as their web developer recently, I'm in the processs of replacing their existing websites using Drupal.

Development website:
http://donkeys.metagrid.co.uk/

and going the whole open source route.

I'm looking for a module that will handle online donations for specific appeals as well as perhaps a general one that the users can select to make one-off payments or regular payments. Does a module exist for this?

I took a look at the lm_drupal module and this is for handling payments via PayPal.

The Donate Project module looks promising and is currently an alpha release.

Can anyone recommend a module?

I also will be wanting to replace the online gift shop too, so will need to find a module for handling that too. I have no experience of e-commerce, so any recommendations gratefully received.

Many thanks,
Jenifer

You could try Ubercart

You could try Ubercart (ubercart.org), it is a work of ecommerce art.

I had been looking at this last week. With little eCommerce experience, I ought to just take the plunge and see what happens! I visited the Ubercart website and went through the mock demo and was impressed.

There is, in my opinion, no comparison -- either in terms of support or in terms of functionality -- with other ecommerce suites.

Yep, a very good demo. I think I need to understand the online payment part of it all and find out what the Sanctuary does at the moment. It doesn't have a brilliant on-line donation set up on the current website -- http://www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/

Does Ubercart handle online donations/gift aid?
