Dear Rodinhooders, presenting Shop4impact!!!
What is Shop4impact ?
Shop4impact enables people to donate a part of their online purchase to a charity of their choice without having to spend any extra money from their pocket.
Who should use Shop4impact?
All online shoppers
How does it work?
Step1: Select the cause you wish to support
Step2: Select the online store you wish to buy product/s from
Step3: Click ‘GO’ and order your desired product
Done. Our tracking system will make a note of cause selected by you and will make donation once it is confirmed from the online store
Do I need to pay extra?
Absolutely NO.
Whether you use Shop4impact or not, you pay exactly the same amount as it is mentioned on the online store.
Where does the donation come from?
Shop4impact is a registered affiliate partner with several online stores. For sending traffic onto their site, they share a percentage of the purchased product amount with us as advertising commission and a part of that amount is then shared with the charity selected by you.
What else can be offered?
Coupons are one thing on my radar right now. Unlike any other coupon websites, we can maintain a list of coupons and deals on the portal for driving more traffic. Please share your thoughts on this.
Closing note:
I am based in Mumbai and have built this site with the help of a freelancer and I am right now looking for a tech guy as co-founder to work with me on this.
As of now, along with making the desktop site to have much better functionalities, browser extension/s and mobile app needs to be developed. If you think, you can enjoy working on this and more awesome things revolving around it, please connect and let’s revolutionize this coupon business space in India together.
PS: If you are planning to buy something online, use Shop4impact to enable smart giving and don’t forget to share your feedback.

very interesting saurabh!
so does the half commission you keep suffice for everything you do to run the site? or is this your social venture and you do something else as well?
good luck with shop4impact and finding a tech partner!!
Saurabh Wani
At this point of time, this is just my social venture as I am shifting jobs and my new joining is in mid-September.
But, if the traction is good enough by end of August and I find a good tech partner, I am planning to get Angel funding to scale this up!
