You See the Fees. Turn Them Into Referral Income.

You reconcile the donation-processing fees and donor-tipping deductions on your clients' books every month, so you already know who overpays. Recommend CoreCause to cut those costs, and earn an ongoing monthly residual on every org that switches. Refer once, earn every month the client processes donations.

How the Accountant Partner Program Works

Designed around how nonprofit accountants and bookkeepers actually work with clients. Not a generic affiliate scheme, not a quota-driven sales role.

1. Sign up & onboard

Quick signup via the Become a Partner form. We confirm your practice (bookkeeping, accounting, treasurer or fractional CFO work), set up your introduction email to sales@corecommerce.com, and walk through the program in a short call. Most partners are set up in 1 business day.

2. Refer a client org

When you spot a client overpaying on processing or losing money to platform donor tipping, point them to CoreCause through your introduction to sales@corecommerce.com. Every signup is attributed to you for the lifetime of the account.

3. Earn ongoing revenue

You earn a monthly share for every client account that stays on CoreCause. Not a one-time bounty. As your client book grows, the residual compounds underneath it.

Disclosure-friendly

The program is built to be disclosed openly to your client. Same model firms use with payroll providers, CRM vendors, and accounting software referrals. Transparent referral, no awkward backroom arrangement.

Flexible arrangements

If you want to help set up CoreCause as part of your service (map the donation flow to the ledger, set up recurring, brief the treasurer), mention it in your intro email. We tailor the partner arrangement to fit how you work.

We do the implementation

You stay in your accounting role. No payments expertise required. Our team handles the platform demo, application, underwriting, and onboarding for the nonprofit you refer. You collect ongoing without becoming a software trainer.

Direct partner reporting

Monthly residual statements come direct from our partner team via email. Real humans on the partner side, not a ticketing queue. Ask us about pending referrals any time and you will get a real answer.

No quotas, no exclusivity

Refer two clients a year or twenty. No monthly minimums to maintain status. No requirement to recommend only CoreCause. Your professional independence stays your own.

Direct partner support

You get a real human on the partner team. When a referred client has a question or hits a wrinkle, you have a direct line into CoreCommerce - not a support ticket gauntlet.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Because you already see the fees and tip deductions on your clients' books. Recommend CoreCause to cut those costs and earn a monthly residual on every org that switches. Email sales@corecommerce.com to start.
Accountants, bookkeepers, treasurers, and fractional CFOs who serve nonprofits and churches and see the processing and donor-tipping line items every month.
Not when handled transparently. Just disclose that you earn ongoing revenue if they sign up; most engagement letters already allow referral arrangements with disclosure, and the switch lowers their costs too.
Monthly ongoing revenue on every client org you refer that becomes a paid customer, for as long as they stay. The exact share is confirmed at onboarding and matched to how you refer.
No. You point the client to CoreCause and our team handles the demo, onboarding, and support. No payments expertise needed on your end.
Those are often the easiest referrals. Clients already on Givebutter, Donorbox, Tithe.ly, or Classy have the fees right there in the ledger, so pointing at the line item and recommending the switch closes fast.

Why Accountants Recommend CoreCause

The six things accountants and bookkeepers tell us they care about most when recommending which fundraising platform a client should be on.

🚫

No donor tipping. Ever.

Your clients' donors never get prompted to add a percentage on top of their gift to cover platform costs. Their full donation goes to programs and services. Givebutter and Donorbox both default-on a tip prompt that quietly redirects donor dollars away from your nonprofit.

💰

Transparent interchange-plus pricing.

You see what you actually pay: the interchange the card networks set, plus 0.50% + $0.15. No stacked platform fees. No hidden percentages. The math is the math.

🔁

Automatic Card Updater.

When a recurring supporter's card expires or gets replaced, CoreCause refreshes it through the card networks automatically. Most platforms make you chase them to re-enter their card. We do not.

Next-business-day payouts.

Donations clear to your account by the next business day. Many donation platforms take several days to deposit, and some payout services take even longer.

📞

Real human support.

Email within one business hour. Real phone support. Real account managers. Not a chatbot that loops you back to a help article when something breaks during a campaign.

📝

No contracts. Cancel anytime.

Month-to-month. No setup fees on the Starter plan. The Free plan is genuinely free and never expires. Explore the platform with zero financial commitment.
