An optimised online donation form
The Restos du Coeur revamped their online donation experience by implementing a new online donation form that offers a smoother and more intuitive user journey. These enhancements have led to higher conversion rates, attracted new donors, and strengthened the loyalty of existing ones.
Their online donation form now provides a simplified choice between one-time and monthly donations, with visual representations to illustrate the impact of each contribution. The number of required fields has been minimised, allowing for a quick and easy donation process.
With a responsive form and fast payment options like Apple Pay, The Restos du Coeur caters to a younger audience as well.
