Cards and Direct Debit, Gift Aid built in, and not a penny of platform fee on what your supporters give. No annual licence either.
Built and looked after by Goodside, the studio behind real charity websites. Your plugin, your Stripe, your money.
Most donation plugins charge your charity twice.
Once as an annual licence to unlock the features you need, and again as a percentage skimmed off every gift, on top of what the card processor already takes. On a modest year of online giving, that quietly adds up to a volunteer's worth of lost income.
Built around how charities and CICs actually raise money, not bolted together from a generic e-commerce cart.
One-off and monthly gifts by card through Stripe, and regular giving by Direct Debit through GoCardless, which costs you less and never expires.
A compliant declaration on the form, and a one-click export that matches HMRC's claim spreadsheet. Reclaim 25% without the spreadsheet archaeology.
Your Stripe account, your data, your site. It is an open plugin, not a walled platform. Nobody can hold your donation history hostage.
Let donors choose where a gift goes, then see totals by fund, recurring income per month, and a clean CSV for your accounts.
Not every good cause is a registered charity. Gift Aid stays off for CICs by default, so you never invite a declaration you cannot claim.
Three forms, a suggested amount, receipts and monthly-failure alerts, all configured. We switch it on; you start taking gifts.
Give a supporter a page for their marathon or birthday appeal, with a target and donations climbing towards it in real time. Their story, your fund, one shareable link. The kind of page other platforms charge a yearly add-on for, and none of them takes a slice of the gifts.
Every payment runs on Stripe's and GoCardless's own secure pages, so your site holds no card or bank numbers. The light-touch compliance path, without you lifting a finger.
The same £10,000 of online donations in a year, run two ways.
We learn how you raise money now, which funds you run, and whether you are a charity or a CIC. Twenty minutes, no obligation.
We install Collection Tin, connect your Stripe and GoCardless, build your forms, configure Gift Aid if you are eligible, and test it end to end.
Donations land in your account, receipts go out, and you get a monthly view of what came in and where it was headed. We stay on to look after it.
No licence for the software, no fee on donations. You pay one care plan, sized to your charity, and we set it up and keep it running.
Your donation forms built, Stripe and GoCardless connected, then kept updated, secure and monitored, with small changes as you need them. Setup included.
Book a callEverything in Small, for charities raising more: extra support each month, a hand with Gift Aid claims, and a quarterly check of your donation setup.
Book a callEverything in Growing, for larger operations: priority response, integration monitoring, and help with campaigns and reporting through the year.
Book a callSetup is included, so there is no big upfront fee to find. We build and connect everything as part of onboarding, on a plan with a twelve month minimum and then rolling month to month. Already have a website team? We can add Collection Tin on a donation-only plan, so your donations are watched without changing who looks after the rest of your site.
Every charity is quoted after a short call, because the right tier depends on your size and setup. Book one here.
Collection Tin is not a faceless download. It is built and supported by Goodside, a UK studio that designs and maintains websites for charities and community organisations, and holds them to WCAG 2.2 AA with tested evidence.
Because we look after the sites it runs on, every install is watched: updates, security and the quiet failures that stop a donation form working are our job, not yours.
There is no annual licence and no platform fee on donations. You pay one care plan, from £99 a month, sized to your charity, and setup is included in it. The plan keeps your site updated, secure and watched, which is what a system taking money needs and what lets us charge nothing for the software itself. Everyone else charges a licence or takes a percentage of donations; we do neither. The card or Direct Debit fees you pay Stripe or GoCardless are the same whichever tool you use. A short call gets you the right tier for your size.
Yes. Collection Tin is built for charities and CICs alike. Gift Aid is only lawful for HMRC-recognised charities, so for a CIC we simply leave it switched off, and your donation forms work exactly as they should without it.
No. Not a penny. Gifts go straight from your supporter to your own Stripe or GoCardless account. We never sit in the middle of the money.
For registered charities, the form captures a compliant declaration with the donor's details, and the admin gives you a one-click export in the exact column layout of HMRC's Gift Aid schedule spreadsheet. You paste it into your claim and reclaim 25%.
Card and bank details never touch your website. Payments are taken on Stripe's and GoCardless's own hosted pages, which keeps your site on the lightest compliance footing. The plugin itself has been security-audited, and because we host and maintain it, updates and monitoring are handled for you.
That is the usual case. We add Collection Tin to your existing WordPress site and, where you are moving off another donation tool, we help carry across what matters and redirect the old links so nothing breaks. The call is the place to talk through your setup.
