Looking to offer exclusive access to specific storefront content? You can now enable Require Login on both individual products and entire categories.

Here's how it works: (Check out the KB article here for even more info https://help.givecloud.com/en/articles/11174106-restrict-access-with-require-login)

Products: When Require Login is enabled, users must log into their Donor Portal to view the product. If the product is displayed via shortcode, the Add to Basket button is hidden until login.

Categories: Enabling Require Login on a category will restrict access to it and all of its subcategories. Users will be redirected to the login page if not authenticated.

This is ideal for:

Organizations that need to restrict who can view and donate to specific categories—ensuring that only users with an account and the ability to log in can access category pages and their contents.

Use this feature to maintain compliance, manage access, and tailor your storefront experience to known supporters.

Distractions kill donations. So we built a better way.

When donors click "Donate" on embedded Giving Experiences, Focus Mode fades the page, locks navigation, and gently protects their intent to give.

The Results In A/B tests, all nonprofits saw higher conversions—up to 20%+. One even raised more with fewer clicks.

Focus Mode delivers:

A calmer, distraction-free giving experience Higher completion rates A meaningful boost in revenue

As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency and compliance with international data protection standards like GDPR, we’ve added a new section that explains how Givecloud retains data only as long as our relationship with the nonprofit organization remains active. Once that relationship ends, we securely delete or return donor data in accordance with legal requirements and controller instructions.

There’s no change in how your data is handled — just greater clarity on the policies we already follow to safeguard the trust you place in us. You can review the updated Privacy Policy at any time here.

The Givecloud Team

To better serve your team, we’ve added a required User Role field when creating a new user or editing an existing user’s profile in Givecloud Admin. This ensures every active user—new or current—selects the role that best reflects how they contribute to your mission. From Executive Directors to Events Coordinators, knowing who’s using the platform allows us to build better experiences, smarter features, and more tailored support. Why it matters:

• Improves the platform based on actual workflows
• Enables more relevant onboarding and support
• Informs thoughtful, role-aware feature development

To better support compliance, Givecloud now allows organizations to manually set the "Issued In" location on tax receipts. This replaces the previous default, which used the organization's registered country.

What's new:

• Custom "Issued In" setting: You can now define the city, town, or municipality where receipts are issued.
• New merge tag: Use [[issued_in]] to insert this value into custom tax receipt templates.
• Default fallback: If no location is set, the system will continue using your registered country.

This update ensures your receipts meet standards while keeping operations running smoothly and donors confident in their giving. Check out our tax receipting KB article here https://help.givecloud.com/en/articles/10126665-tax-receipting

Optimized for Express Checkout – Apple Pay, Google Pay, & PayPal users see the opt-in prompt after donating.

Support multiple languages (EN, ES, FR) to connect with donors globally.
