The Challenge

A brand built on animal welfare, with no way for customers to give.

As a brand built around animal welfare, VEGDOG wanted to involve customers directly in supporting shelters, sanctuaries, and nonprofits, but had no donation or round-up solution in place. They needed something highly customizable, easy to weave into their existing customer journey, and true to their values: the freedom to choose and showcase the exact organizations they wanted to support.

GoodAPI stood out because it gave VEGDOG the flexibility to choose and showcase the organizations they wanted to support, while creating a seamless donation experience for their customers.

The Solution

Donations, dropped into checkout and fully in their hands.

VEGDOG added GoodAPI donations to their checkout, giving customers a simple way to round up, or give more, at the moment of purchase. Setup was smooth and fully supported, and the team kept complete control over which organizations to feature, including their own animal sanctuary. Whenever they needed a small adjustment, the response came back fast.

“The setup process was smooth, transparent, and well-supported from the beginning. Whenever we’ve needed small adjustments or had questions, the response time has been incredibly fast, and we’ve always felt supported.”
What customers chose

They didn’t just round up. They gave more.

VEGDOG expected most shoppers to round up to the next euro. Instead, a striking share chose to give €3 or even €5, a sign of a community that genuinely wants to help when giving is made easy.

Hand-picked by VEGDOG

Multiple non-profits

VEGDOG supports a range of shelters, sanctuaries, and animal-welfare organizations, selecting and managing each partnership themselves to keep the program true to their mission.

Across the network

A variety of causes

They draw on the variety of organizations available in GoodAPI’s network, with the flexibility to tailor the lineup to their own initiatives and partnerships.

One of the beneficiaries

Their own sanctuary, too

Alongside their partner organizations, VEGDOG’s own animal sanctuary is one of the beneficiaries, so giving reaches both their network and the animals they care for directly.

The favorite part
“Working with the GoodAPI team feels much more like a partnership than simply using a software solution. You’re genuinely open to feedback, willing to discuss ideas, and quick to implement improvements. Having a partner who listens, adapts, and shares your commitment to creating positive impact is incredibly valuable.”

More than €6,000, in a matter of weeks.
