Common Questions
Does the family see the donation amount?
No. The notification card to the family only mentions that a donation was made in their loved one's name, not the amount.
Can we customize the notification card?
Yes. You can customize the card design, message, and your organization's branding to match your nonprofit's identity.
How are donations processed?
Donations are processed securely through Stripe. Funds go directly to your connected Stripe account.
Can donors give without a payment?
Yes. You can configure the widget to allow tribute cards without requiring a donation, perfect for sympathy acknowledgments.
What should I write in a memorial or tribute eCard?
A meaningful tribute message names the person, recalls one specific memory or quality, and gently expresses continued care for the family. Avoid clichés. Example: "Thinking of Margaret's laugh and the chess games she beat all of us at. Sending love to you, David, and the kids." Short and specific feels more sincere than long and formal. eCardWidget lets you add a photo of the person honored so the message carries a visual memory.
Is it appropriate to send a digital sympathy card?
Yes. Digital sympathy cards arrive instantly, reach distant friends and family who would otherwise be left out by slow mail, and can include audio or video messages that a paper card cannot carry. Many families specifically appreciate digital tribute cards because they can be saved, re-read, and shared with extended relatives on the memorial date every year. When in doubt, follow the family's communication preferences — a digital card honors the same intent as paper.
How do memorial donation eCards work?
A donor chooses a tribute eCard on your nonprofit's embedded widget, makes a donation in a loved one's honor, and names the family to notify. eCardWidget sends a branded tribute card to the family (without the amount) acknowledging the gift, and the donation routes straight to your Stripe account. You get the revenue, the family feels honored, and the donor has a meaningful way to express support during a hard moment. All three flows are automated once the widget is embedded.
