The latest feature released at Tebex is the charity roundup, and this awesome new tool will allow all of us to contribute in some small way that adds up to a big contribution!

As we all know the war in Ukraine is dominating the news and many people wish that they could do more to help, at Tebex we have received numerous requests from store owners who also wanted to do their bit. Tebex and Overwolf feel strongly about supporting charities, and we are proud that we are able to provide a platform for all stores to contribute.

The current charity chosen by Tebex is the Ukrainian Red Cross.

This feature is disabled by default, so you should enable this if you'd like your customers to have the option to make a difference. The new feature can be very simply enabled on your store by heading to Payments > Payment Methods > Settings and toggling the option. You can also use this handy link! Now that the feature is enabled, all customers on your store will have the option to round up their payment at no further cost to you. We also have a concise knowledge base article for this feature, found here.

Will I Really Make A Difference?

The answer is yes, crowdfunding for charity donations is an amazing way to raise money for any number of good causes! If many people contribute a small amount all of this accumulates into a much larger figure. At the moment, our charity donation feature is a "roundup" tool, which means if a customer is going to buy a product for £7.45p when they go to pay they have the option to round up their payment to £8, and the extra 55 pence will go to charity. It may not seem like much by itself, but when many people donate the overall value of the donations will become so much more!

The donations to the Ukrainian Red Cross could provide life-saving medical aid, food, blankets, transport and much more to many people in dire need of help. As many of us are aware the war in Ukraine has displaced millions of people, destroyed families and communities and caused the loss of thousands of lives.

Tebex and Overwolf would like to contribute to making a positive difference, and we hope that our store owners and their communities will also like to contribute to helping people in desperate need.

Thank You

We would like to thank all of our stores that have enabled this feature and all of the customers who have chosen to round up their purchases for a good cause. The feature has been released for several weeks and we have seen many donations coming in from across the world, which is wonderful to see.

Together, we can bring more positivity into the world and bring hope to people who have lost so much.
