Support model

Self-serve platform

A named account contact

We think GiftDrive is a solid, genuinely free option, and we'd rather you know that going in than pretend it isn't.

The real question

What are you actually optimizing for?

01

Budget is the constraint

If cost is the deciding factor and you're comfortable running the drive yourself, GiftDrive's free tier is a genuinely good option.

02

Amazon checkout matters

If you want donors buying through the Amazon cart they already trust, with items shipping through Amazon Business, that's specifically what we built.

03

You'd rather not build it yourself

We build and launch the branded site for you and stay the named contact after launch, instead of handing you a self-serve tool.
