5. How the money works
How much does the charity get?
50% of the commission the shop pays us. Shops usually pay 2% to 10% of the order, so a £100 order typically earns £2 to £10, and The Oxfordshire Animal Sanctuary gets 50% of that. Thirty families shopping this way adds up over a year.
When is it paid?
We pay each cause its confirmed commission every quarter (Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct), once the shop has confirmed the sale, usually 30 to 90 days after the order. Minimum £25; anything under that rolls over to the next quarter. We pay by bank transfer, to the account we agree with you.
Does it work with every shop?
It works with the shops on Voucher Magpie that pay us a commission, and we're adding more all the time. Supporters should start at Voucher Magpie and click through to the shop; going straight to the shop doesn't count.
What if someone returns their order?
Then the shop doesn't pay a commission on it, so there's nothing to donate. That's why we wait for shops to confirm each sale.
Who do we talk to?
Email [email protected] with anything: a new poster, a different message, or a question about donations.
