Global fundraising platform Xperedon has expanded its online fundraising services
to enable charities to build and run online shops. Charities can generate income
from their own products, but they can also generate income by recruiting corporate
supporters to the site to sell their products and services in support of a charity.

David Hallett, CEO of the Anglo-Swiss enterprise, said that the shops can be “up
and running in minutes”. He added:

“The platform provides a distinctive approach for suppliers, where products are 
showcased in the general search, alongside others, but each also have their own 
online shop complete with blogging, media, and social tools.”

Charities and corporate supporters can embed their shop or any element of their 
shop into their own websites and Facebook pages, ensuring as wide an audience as
possible can find them.

By aggregating multiple charities’ and companies’ online shops, Xperedon says that
it is offering charities several ways in which its products can be found:

 * individual charity shop, showing only products from one charity.
 * general Search, showing all products from all charities and suppliers.
 * [Really Big Shop](http://www.reallybigshop.com), showing all products from all
   shops in the database.

## Fees

Xperedon does not charge charities either a registration fee or monthly charges 
to establish and run a charity shop. Instead, it charges a commission on sales generated
via the platform.

It charges charities and non-profits a commission of 12.5% on the sale price of 
items sold via the platform. Commercial businesses pay 15% and £19/month. Card processing
fees are passed on at cost.

Where a supplier is recruited by a charity, Xperedon pays 2.5% of the sale price
to the charity on all sales.

## New and established retailers

Hallett said that the platform was designed both for charities that had no shop 
experience and those that had an established high street retail operation. He said:

“Charities new to commerce can ask suppliers to stock their shops to get started,
and start earning commission. Charities with existing shops can consolidate online
with one smart e-commerce solution”.

At launch [Xperedon Charity Shops](http://charityshops.xperedon.com/) already has
110 suppliers offering 655 products. Each product indicates what percentage of sales
will be donated to charity.

[Xperedon Charity Shops](http://www.xperedon.com/charity-shops) is just one of a
suite of online fundraising and content management tools that Xperedon offers to
charities internationally.

As well as an advanced platform providing a comprehensive suite of fundraising software
for non-profits, Xperedon specialises in developing websites for charities that 
include built-in fundraising and content management tools.
