Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many consumers found the platform easy to set up and use for fundraising, appreciating its simplicity and effectiveness in collecting donations. People also noted the helpful notification system for donations and messages, making it easy to track progress and thank supporters. However, a significant number of people were dissatisfied with the payment process, specifically regarding an added "tip" or fee that was often unclear or misleading. Many felt this charge was not transparent and was difficult to opt out of, leading to unexpected additional costs. Some also experienced difficulties with customer service and navigating certain aspects of the website, such as finding donation details or managing fundraising pages.

I was upset to see that on a £25 donation £4.25 was added. When I questioned this I was told it was admin costs and would not be given to charity. Update: Just giving clarified that the tip featu... See more

Very misleading with Just giving fees, its not clear to opt out. This SHOULD be made clearer. I contacted Just giving for a refund on these funds paid in error - Disappointed with no response.

Not great

They add an automatic extra amount on top of the donation for starters. My name did not show and I needed it to as my friend requested that I show it. When I followed the link to edit the donation and added the donation reference found in the email it first made me create an account in order to edit and then it said it couldn't locate my donation. I sent an email which came back as 'this email is not for replies'. Then I asked the chat and it said I needed to contact support but did not give the contact information about how to contact support, until I asked for it. Then I had to submit a query to customer support that I want to edit my own donation. Poor service. I wouldn't recommend Justgiving and certainly won't use it for when I am raising money.

Was really good i think the tip to just giving should be up to the donations and no money should be taken from donations if customer doesn't want to donate
