I wouldn't recommend this app to anyone.. Incredibly expensive if you want to access even the most basic features. Which is funny cause its a donation app. DO NOT DOWNLOAD
Thanks for the feedback! Our Free Standard Plan is available the moment you download the app, with all major donation campaigns included at no monthly cost. Beyond the technology, all of our plans cover the legal compliance and operational costs required to distribute donations to nonprofits — making it possible for shoppers to support the causes they care about. Happy to walk you through everything that's available!
UPDATE: After a rocky start I am sincerely pleased to come back with good news. Apparently, my communications had gone to spam and that's why I never heard back. Once that was remedied, I can honestly say that Patty and the team have been INCREDIBLY responsive, helpful and patient with me on getting everything set up. I'm looking forward to giving back to my community and glad to know that I now have this team on my side to help in that effort! Thank you. Terrible. I have been trying since June to get this set up. Sent multiple emails and have heard NOTHING back. Try to do something good and support a cause/community and it's met with literally NOTHING. Total waste of time; don't bother.
As a small team deeply committed to helping brands support causes, we completely understand how disappointing this must have been, especially when trying to support a good cause. We just found your emails—they were unfortunately filtered into our spam folders (we’ve sent you a screenshot directly). This isn’t reflective of our values or how we operate—we pride ourselves on fast, personal support, as you’ll see in other reviews. We’ve since adjusted our filters and are more than happy to help you get set up if you’re still open to it!! With gratitude, The Shop for Good Team
In all honesty I’m a high maintenance customer, but the team at Daily Karma never lets me down. I ask for a lot and they deliver.
We've worked with the DK team for over a year and they've been instrumental in helping us to digitally activate our social impact mission on our website. Navigating legalities and organizations is no easy task as you want to ensure you're doing right with the right people. Brands like ours are committed to giving back to the communities we serve and you need a knowledgeable partner who is willing to roll their sleeves up and help you achieve your goals. From a tech perspective, the application is super simple to integrate and the features are broad enough to help you maximize your social impact efforts no matter which track you choose. Thanks DK team for all you've done to help elevate our social impact programming.
Thank you for your feedback! We are grateful to you for letting us become a part of your journey. We are proud to be partners with a team behind an amazing brand committed to social impact. You inspire us to keep going and improving and keep us motivated to get to work every day!
SECOND UPDATE: The devs reached out and things have resolved very positively. I really appreciate their desire to work with people who use their app. UPDATE FOR DEV REPLY: I'm not talking about the pricing change, I'm talking about the removal of free features and making them paid. You're forcing your customers to make a decision between upgrading and paying you, or continuing with the current free plan but unable to make changes to certain (now paid) features. This is not okay, and it's unethical. ORIGINAL REVIEW: While this app is great for automating donations and providing a lot of options when you're willing to pay the astronomical price of almost $300 per month, the free user is left with uncertainty and treated poorly. I've been a free user for over a year now (I don't make enough money in my shop to justify the monthly subscription) and it's been great. However, Shop For Good and DailyKarma willing remove previously free features and move them to paid tiers with little to no notice (sorry I don't consider an email newsletter that I can't seem to find as notice). A feature I had been using extensively the entire time (donations on specific products, because not everything in my store is meant for donations) was recently moved to the paid tier. While I am still able to use it as is, I'm unable to ever make any changes or add new products to it without needing to upgrade, and I find that to be quite disturbing on them to remove features from users and then force them to pay for it to return. It's shady business practices at best and greedy at worst. You're a social impact and donation app, not a massive profit machine. This has left me needing to find another way to gather donations because their paid tiers would destroy my overhead and bleed my shop dry. They've been slow in emails (taking a week at a time to respond) and unwilling to help me out here other than to suggest I pay. I'm so disappointed and saddened by this whole experience. (Note to anyone considering the free plan, read the fine print that wasn't there when I started, they take 10% of your donations to pay themselves. So that "free" tier is not actually free.)
Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns regarding our recent pricing changes. We genuinely apologize for any inconvenience caused. We understand that pricing adjustments can be challenging and we appreciate your feedback. The decision to update our pricing structure was driven by several factors, including rising operational costs and a desire to maintain the high quality of our products and services. The notification was sent to your Shop for Good dashboard on May 29. We assure you that we have carefully considered these changes to ensure continued value for our customers. Thank you for your understanding, and we are committed to continually improving our services based on customer feedback.
