FAQ's

- What is ShopToBless™?
ShopToBless is a revolutionary concept in supporting your community. By harnessing the power of your online shopping dollars, we enable registered organizations to raise additional funds by having members of the organization, and anyone else who wishes to give to them, shop online via our merchant and comparison shopping portal. Providing thousands of online retailers, members can purchase almost anything they may need, and support their chosen organization at the same time for no additional cost(thats right, we said FREE!). When purchases are made via the ShopToBless shopping portal, a specified percentage(each merchant gives a different percentage) of each online purchase will be given back to the organization. ShopToBless truly is a great way to buy, and a new way to give. What are you waiting for? JOIN TODAY!

- What organizations can use ShopToBless?
While any organization is eligible to register with Shop to Bless, it is most beneficial for churches, schools, charities and missions.

- Who can use ShopToBless?
Anyone! All you need is an Internet connected computer, an organization to bless, and shopping to do!

- I don't have a specific organization in mind. What can I do?
We have many organizations available from all over the country, and more being added every day. Begin by selecting your state, or the state you wish to bless, and browse the available organizations listed. View organizations in other categories of the same state by clicking one of the four tabs above the organization list. If you still can't find an organization you want to bless, click the charity tab to look at the available national charities...or, request your favorite organization be added to ShopToBless by clicking the "Add your organization" button.

- How do I use ShopToBless?
The first thing you need to do is decide on an organization you wish to bless. Pick any of the four categories and then a state (note: all major charities are listed nationally, you can select them from any state). All available organizations in that category and state will be listed. Once an organization is chosen, simply click the 'Start Shopping' button and search for any merchant or product. Click on the merchant of your choice to be redirected to their website...and don't worry, we automatically pass along information to the retailer notifying them that you wish to give to the organization you selected.

- Can I give to more than one organization?
No. We are currently working on this functionality, and hope to bring it to you very soon!

- Do I have to begin at www.shoptobless.com for my purchases to count?
Yes, simply typing in the retailer address (i.e.: www.wal-mart.com) will not give them the necessary information needed to notify them that you want to give to your organization. All of the merchant links on our shopping portal are specifically designed to do that for you. Note: You can add your organization's shopping page to your browser's favorites list to save you time on your next shopping trip!

- How much money does my organization receive when I shop?
Your organization receives the percentage listed next to the merchant link on our shopping portal. The amount varies by merchant, from 1% to as much as 50%.

- I don't see the organization I want to give to.
No problem! Click here or on the 'Add your organization' button found on the site. Simply fill in the form with the needed information on the organization and one of our ShopToBless representatives will be happy to contact them and complete the registration process if they are interested. Be sure to type in your name and email address on the form, so that we may notify you if your requested organization has been added!

- When will my organization receive the blessings from my online purchases?
Much of this depends when the purchase was made, and how long the organization has been registered with ShopToBless. On average, the organization will receive a check from ShopToBless every 30-45 days.
