How Merchants Are Using Round-Up Donations
The Round-Up Donations Module is flexible enough to support a wide range of industries and causes. Whether your brand is purpose-driven or just looking for a simple way to give back, this feature helps you turn everyday transactions into meaningful contributions. Here are a few ways BigCommerce merchants are putting it to work:
Pet Supply Stores
Merchants selling pet products can direct round-up donations to local animal shelters or rescue organizations—an easy way to help animal-loving customers support their communities.
Sustainable Brands
Eco-conscious brands are using round-up funds to align checkout with an environmental mission, supporting reforestation efforts, carbon offsetting, or ocean cleanup initiatives.
Educational Retailers
Stores selling books, school supplies, or spirit wear can enable round-up donations that fund scholarships, classroom materials, or after-school programs.
High-Volume Stores
Retailers with frequent purchases—like apparel, beauty, or DTC brands—can generate significant donations over time. Even small round-up amounts quickly add up when you process hundreds of orders a day.
Cause-Driven Brands
For brands already tied to a mission, round-up donations offer a clear way to deepen that connection. Whether supporting mental health, veterans, or humanitarian causes, the checkout becomes a place to reinforce what your business stands for.
