Listed integrations include JustGiving, Enthuse, Stripe, GoCardless, Mailchimp, Dotdigital and Eventbrite. The REST API is included in Professional for building integrations. Donorfy says it is certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 9001. Subscription support ranges from online resources and webinars to live chat, check-ins and a named Customer Success Manager. Essentials costs nothing for up to 250 constituents; a charity or work email is required. A free trial lasts up to 30 days and requires no payment information. Paid plans are billed monthly plus VAT, with prices based on constituent count. Billing uses peak monthly constituents, including archived records, rather than user count.
