# Nonprofit Quick Checkout Funnel Template

> A quick checkout funnel has no sales page. A supporter arrives on the payment page, chooses an amount, pays, and lands on a thank-you page. This template is that two-step funnel for a nonprofit: a giving page and a receipt page, both in your organisation’s colours.

The Vonza Funnels template “Nonprofit quick checkout” (goal: checkout, industry: Nonprofit): The shortest path to a sale: one checkout page and a thank-you page.

## What the nonprofit quick checkout template is for

People who click “donate” have already decided. Every extra page between that click and the payment loses some of them. The quick checkout shape respects the decision: one page that takes the gift, one page that says thank you, and the supporter’s record in a pipeline so you can thank them again properly later.

The checkout sells an item from your Vonza account, so a monthly supporter plan is a membership or product with a recurring price, a one-off gift a product with one price or pay-what-you-want. Order bumps let a supporter add a one-off top-up to a monthly plan; the “all sales are final” note and a terms tick box are a setting away.

Because it is a funnel, you get what a plain payment link never gives you: every supporter as a lead with UTM source and campaign, stats on who reached the page and who gave, and automations that run the thank-you sequence without anyone remembering to send it.

## The steps and what each page carries

2 steps, in the order a visitor sees them. Each step is a page built from one of the library's designs and opens in your brand colours and fonts.

### Step 1: Checkout (Checkout)

Take the payment.

The checkout page carries the giving form. The default “Product beside the form” design shows a split hero with three bullets (direct impact, transparent reporting, a community of supporters in the placeholder copy) beside the live two-column checkout; “With a review and FAQ” adds a quote band and an FAQ under the form. The checkout offers the item’s plans or one price, up to five bumps, a coupon box if allowed, buyer details and the payment methods you have connected.

Worth doing: Use pay-what-you-want on a one-off gift product and the supporter sets the amount on the page.

Designs this step can switch to: Product beside the form, Photo banner, Minimal, With a review and FAQ, Card over a photo, Video walkthrough.

### Step 2: Thank you (Thank you)

Confirm and tell people what happens next.

The thank-you page confirms the gift with the order summary from the payment and says what happens next: the receipt is in the inbox, how the gift is used, how to get in touch. Six thank-you designs are available, including “Welcome video” for a short message from the team.

Worth doing: Record a thirty-second thank-you from the people the gift reaches and use the “Welcome video” design.

Designs this step can switch to: Centred confirmation, Full-bleed photo, Photo beside the message, Card over a photo, Minimal, Welcome video.

## What to change first

A template is a starting point. These are the four edits that turn the placeholder funnel into yours.

- **The supporter plan and the gift**: Publish a monthly supporter membership or product and a one-off gift product on Vonza, then pick one in the checkout step and offer the other as a bump.
- **The reasons to give**: The three bullets beside the form are placeholder copy. Replace them with what a gift pays for, in plain numbers you can stand behind.
- **Receipts and the final-sale note**: Switch on the “all sales are final” note or a terms tick box if your gifts are non-refundable, and let supporters know a receipt follows by email.
- **Campaign tracking**: Add UTM parameters to the links you share; every supporter’s source, medium and campaign appear in the Leads list and in Stats under Sources.

## Who it suits

The template suits any organisation that asks for money and wants the asking to be short. It is also the right shape for a product business selling one item to people who already know it.

- Charities and nonprofits taking monthly supporter plans and one-off gifts
- Churches and faith communities collecting tithes, offerings and project gifts
- Schools, clubs and associations running a fundraiser with a single ask
- Community projects that want a giving page on their own domain without a sales pitch

## How to start

The template is in the Checkout goal and the Nonprofit industry. Create the supporter item first, pick it when you create the funnel, and Vonza AI writes the page about it; the amounts come from the item.

1. **Choose the new Funnels**: Start your 14-day free trial and, in Funnels, choose “Try the new Funnels”. Classic funnels keep working and you can switch back any time.
2. **Pick the template**: Open Templates, filter by goal or industry, and pick this template. It opens on the canvas in your Brand Kit colours and fonts, every page ready to edit.
3. **Or let Vonza AI pick it**: Choose “Write it with AI”, describe your offer and who it is for, pick a goal and a tone. Vonza AI picks the template from your brief and writes the copy of every page. It uses AI credits.
4. **Publish**: Fix anything the publish check lists, then publish on your Vonza sub-domain or a connected custom domain at /fn/your-address, and share the link, an embed or a QR code.

## The automation recipe that fits

Recipe: Abandoned checkout

Switch on the “Abandoned checkout” recipe and add a “Someone buys” automation beside it. The first emails a known supporter who opened the giving page and did not complete the gift after a wait you set (5 minutes to 7 days); the second sends the thank-you sequence and moves the supporter to Won.

1. Trigger: a lead leaves checkout without buying.
2. After how long without buying: one day.
3. Send email: a gentle note with the giving link and one line on impact.
4. Second automation, trigger: someone buys.
5. Send email: thank you and what the gift does; wait 30 days; send an update; add to the supporters list.

Every recipe is created switched off. Edit it, run “Test run” to send everything to yourself, then switch it on.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a quick checkout funnel?

A quick checkout funnel is the shortest funnel there is: one checkout page and one thank-you page, with no sales page in front. It suits a decision that has already been made, such as a donation, a renewal or a repeat purchase. The Vonza template is that two-step funnel written for a nonprofit.

### Can supporters choose their own amount?

Yes, when the item the checkout sells has a pay-what-you-want plan. The checkout copies the item’s own pricing plans or uses one override price you set; a price of zero makes the step free. A monthly supporter plan is a recurring plan on a membership or product.

### Does the funnel send a receipt?

A receipt is emailed after payment, and the thank-you page shows the order summary. Refunds can be issued from the funnel’s Sales screen within 30 days, and disputes are answered under Settings. The funnel does not produce gift-aid declarations; add that wording yourself where it applies.

### Which payment methods can a supporter use?

The methods your platform has connected: card through Stripe, including Apple Pay, Google Pay and Klarna, PayPal for one-time payments, and Paystack for Nigerian naira. If nothing is connected yet the funnel tells you to connect Stripe, PayPal or Paystack before it can sell.

### Can I see which campaign a gift came from?

Yes. Every supporter is a lead with UTM source, medium and campaign recorded, filterable in the Leads list, and Stats shows Sources (campaign, website, direct), visitors, orders, revenue (sales minus refunds) and conversion for 7, 30 or 90 days. Export the Leads list to CSV for your donor system.

### Can I add a second ask without a sales page?

Yes, two ways. Add up to five order bumps to the checkout, such as a one-off top-up beside a monthly plan. Or add an upsell step after the checkout: a one-click offer for a buyer who paid by card, with its own “No thanks” that leads on to the thank-you page.
