Consumers are increasingly demanding that brands use their power to make a difference. When you [integrate with **ShoppingGives**](/v1/docs/integrating-donations-with-loyalty-referrals-shoppinggives) you can let customers redeem their points for a donation to charity, showing you are a purpose-driven brand.

This article will show you how to set up the option to redeem points for a donation. In addition to letting customers donate their points to charity, you also have another option to donate a percentage on the customer's behalf every time they shop. See how to [Set up a Donations Campaign.](/v1/docs/points-for-donations-earning-rule-shoppinggives)

## Before you begin

You need to complete the [ShoppingGives integration setup](/v1/docs/integrating-donations-with-loyalty-referrals-shoppinggives).

## Create a donation redemption option

In your Loyalty & Referral admin:

1. From the Yotpo Loyalty & Referrals main menu, go to  **Rewards** > **Redeeming Points**.
2. Click **Create a New Coupon.**
3. For coupon type Choose **Donation**. This option will only appear if you have the [Shopping Gives integration set up.](/v1/docs/integrating-donations-with-loyalty-referrals-shoppinggives)
4. Finish creating your coupon according to the settings you want. For more information, see this guide [about creating a coupon.](/v1/docs/direct-and-redeemable-coupons-overview#direct-coupons)

## Implement your donation option on-site

**On-site module implementation**Display your donation option onsite with the **Redeem points on-site module (interactive)**

If you don't have a **Redeem points** Module yet, read here [how to create one.](/v1/docs/redeem-points-on-site-module-interactive)

If you already have a Redeem Points Interactive Module, add the donation option to your module in the [layout section](/v1/docs/redeem-points-on-site-module-interactive#1-layout). In the module editor, you will be able to customize all the texts for the donation process.

Here is an example of how the flow may look in your module:![](https://cdn.document360.io/f3c2ab59-fe4c-4f93-9614-2872f40e8aa7/Images/Documentation/7e40084e-fcc7-4be0-a9fb-cb7e255c6934.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T16%3A09%3A53Z&se=2026-11-14T17%3A09%3A53Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=zkLE6qotdEgqwjzYeSPyrDTEU9WPdxCjRwzSF05slok%3D)When a customer clicks on the donate button, a popup will appear with your featured causes or option to select a cause. The causes that appear here are chosen in your ShoppingGives account. See this [ShoppingGives’ guide](https://hc.shoppinggives.com/knowledge/managing-causes) for more information.

## Email notifications

If you are using a third-party Email Service Provider (ESP) you can trigger an email to be sent every time a customer redeems points for a donation.

Trigger a donation email through your ESP by using the event called "**Loyalty Donation Created"** as the email trigger. See an example of [how to do this on Klaviyo](/v1/docs/loyalty-emails-setup-guide-for-klaviyo#loyalty-donation-created), or see a list of [which email service providers are supported.](/v1/docs/customizing-yotpo-loyalty-referrals-triggered-emails)

That's it, your customers can now redeem their points for a charitable donation.
