## **Add this donation button to your animal profiles in seconds**

Over **$4.2 million in donations** have been raised through Shelterluv’s popular Donation Boost features, and now we’ve made it even easier to attract new donors with a **Donate button** on the most visited pages of your website: your adoptable animal listings!

This new feature works seamlessly with your [**Donation Boost Widget**](https://help.shelterluv.com/articles/9606694368-donation-boost-widget-overview), which is a free tool to help you capture more donations through Shelterluv.

## **Enable Donation Checkbox for Processing Fees**

On May 10th, Shelterluv added a checkbox to mobile checkout that prompts adopters to cover all associated processing fees.

***This simple checkbox is the highest impact feature in Shelterluv history***.

- 78% of adopters are now donating, previously 37%
- 61% increase in total donation dollars
- 82% of organizations using Stripe cover all software and credit card fees through donations

![Shelterluv statistics graphic: 82% of customers using Stripe cover all software and credit card fees through donations, 77% of adopters donate through mobile checkout, and the average donation is $20](https://blog.shelterluv.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/BCn5QHdKS10MTh1SgVgtehx98LZ1vKne_kEpGG-3QGU1Ry3G2e6Tq6A8JJHeArVkSnXn0fwANR9CUJKMdPAEQGS_RNlTfYDwMbNCrlO6RvBd9aVTrM9SZPerklTFUrCbV7qcF0Ri.png?width=1080&height=1080&name=BCn5QHdKS10MTh1SgVgtehx98LZ1vKne_kEpGG-3QGU1Ry3G2e6Tq6A8JJHeArVkSnXn0fwANR9CUJKMdPAEQGS_RNlTfYDwMbNCrlO6RvBd9aVTrM9SZPerklTFUrCbV7qcF0Ri.png)
