Employer matching, built into checkout.

Many companies match their employees’ charitable gifts — but donors rarely follow through. AxeFee puts it right in the checkout — one tick-box beside a donation — so a supporter can double their impact in a couple of taps.

How employer matching works

A simple path from gift to doubled gift.

1

Donor adds a gift and ticks the box

They pay their order as normal — Zelle or card — add a donation on top, and tick “my employer will match this,” naming the employer and the amount.

2

They submit it, then confirm

Once the order is paid they submit the gift to their employer’s giving portal — which almost always asks for a receipt — and come back to confirm when the employer approves it.

3

You see it as a pledge, not as cash

Your dashboard shows the donor’s gift as money received and the employer’s share as a pledge, kept separate until it actually arrives.

Why enable it

Employer matching is one of the easiest ways to grow a gift — at no cost to the donor or you.

🤝

Double the gift

A $100 donation can become $200 when the employer matches.

🧾

Tracked commitments

Matched amounts are recorded and shown in your reporting.

✅

Owner controls

Approve, correct, or decline a match you don’t recognize.

📊

Honest books

A pledge isn’t cash. Reports show the gift you received and the employer’s share separately, so a forecast never reads as a receipt.

Common questions

How does a donor use employer matching?

They pay their order the usual way, add a donation on top, and tick the box naming their employer and the match amount. After paying they submit the gift through their employer’s giving portal, then come back to confirm once it’s approved. AxeFee records the pledge against the donation.

Can we reject a match we don’t recognize?

Yes — owners can approve, correct the amounts, or decline a match, and reporting updates accordingly.

Does the match apply to a ticket or membership too?

No — and that is deliberate. Corporate matching programs almost universally exclude tickets, dues and event admission, and the donor certifies what they submit. So AxeFee attaches the match to the donation a supporter adds on top of their order, never to the price of what they bought. A $50 ticket with a $30 gift claims a match on the $30.

What do we need to switch on?

Two things on the free Non-Profit plan: employer matching in Settings, and a donation field on the form itself — the match rides on that gift, so a form with nothing to donate to has nothing to match.

Which employers match?

Many large companies offer matching programs. The donor submits through their own employer’s program; AxeFee records the pledge until it arrives.

Is it free?

Yes — employer matching is included on the free Non-Profit plan.
