What do you like best about iDonate?
I have used iDonate for two organizations I represent: Hutchraft Ministires is a $5 million veteran evangelism organization. And then I've helped launch HowToLife Movement, a fast-growing upstart ministry reaching Gen Z youth. Overall, iDonate is a very friendly interface. It has been helpful on the back end for me as I have set up a lot, even though my main job is more executive leadership than web design. It has served us well in many capacities, with many, many giving pages we have needed to develop for HowToLife Movement. I use it every day, as we constantly receive gifts. Customer support shows up pretty consistently when I need help (for the most part). I have deep familiarity with both iDonate LEGACY platform, and the newer 2.0. I like to think I have had extensive experience on both platforms. I have loved the EVENT PLATFORM. I have used that for a few very strategic events, including our global Z Conference, which hosted about 1,000 young people who paid to attend. It was a fantastic integration for us. I love the Christian leadership and community of iDonate. Very friendly turf. That's huge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about iDonate?
The team knows I have had deep frustration over GRAPHIC IMAGES integration into my pages and giving forms. This should be far more intutitive, but it isn't. And the result is often a very distroted and stretched image in the mobile version of my forms. I have pleaded, begged, and nicely expressed how this just isn't ready for prime time. PLEASE FIX (even now!).
There are a few other design elements that I think could be much improved.
I wish I had an easier way to CLEAN UP pages that I'm not using. Each page to delete requires some series of multiple things. I can't just delete a campaign, if it still has active parts somewhere. I haven't figured that out yet, and it jus should be easier.
on the events: I need to be able to have a way to do two events, at two different times. That is very clunky.
We have donors from all over the world, and I wish we had a few more ways to be more sensitive to other currencies, etc. This is a very US Centric platform.
Not a big fan of the TRIBUTE feature. That was not well conceived. Needs a separate review to explailn, but it doesn't work well at all.
The confirmation default page is a joke. Please delete that stupid clip art piece, so I don't have to every time.
Hosted pages are somewhat problematic. So much has to do with sizing.
GOAL METERS: This is a big one. That should be able to be inserted into a FORM, not just a hosted page. What a miss! Please fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
