What’s New at Zeffy

Build, preview and send an email from your phone. The editor, templates and recipient picker all work on a small screen — no laptop required.

‍

Pick a template, drop in your content, and see exactly what your supporters will see before you hit send.

‍

Add parking, a t-shirt, a meal, or a raffle bundle as add-ons on your event form. Guests pick them in their own step after choosing a ticket.

‍

Each add-on can carry its own QR coupon, scanned and redeemed at the door — so the person who paid for parking is the one who gets it.

‍

Add-ons show up on the thank-you email, the web ticket, the guest list and the check-in manager. Cancel or refund one without touching the rest of the order.

‍

Set up your event →

Bidders get a text the moment someone tops their bid — on by default, nothing to turn on. No more refreshing a page to find out you lost the item.

‍

Start an auction →

A parent renewing for two kids, a captain signing up the team, a member buying a gift membership — it's all one checkout now.

‍

Say who each membership is for, and anyone you're signing up on your behalf gets their own contact and their own membership card by email.

‍

Your member list shows the actual members, not just the person who paid.

‍

Set up memberships →

Tell Zeffy what you want to say and it drafts a fully editable email using your campaign details, your branding and your tone of voice.

‍

Already have an email you like? Paste in the HTML and Zeffy brings the text, styling and images across.

‍

Either way, you land in the builder with something to work from, not a blank page.

‍

Early-bird pricing, a members-only window, a late tier that opens the week of the event: set a start and an end on any ticket and Zeffy handles the rest.

‍

Buyers always see where they stand, with tickets labelled “Not yet available,” “Available until May 16,” or “Sales ended” instead of quietly appearing and disappearing.

‍

Existing early-bird setups were converted automatically — nothing to redo.

‍

Set up your event →

Set your tax up once — a name, a rate, your tax ID — then switch it on for the items that need it. A taxable t-shirt, an exempt ticket, a taxed add-on: you decide, item by item.

‍

Buyers see the tax on its own line before they pay. Receipts itemize it under your organization's name and tax number, and your payouts keep tax collected separate from revenue.

‍

Available in the US and Canada.

‍

Set up your taxes →

The Zeffy API can now write payments, not just contacts — including ticket purchases. Read your data into the tools you already use, or push updates back into Zeffy.

‍

Pick exactly which webhook events your endpoint subscribes to, instead of receiving all of them. Failed deliveries retry for up to three days, so a server hiccup doesn't lose data.

‍

Write access needs your organization to be Stripe-verified.

‍

Free to use, like everything on Zeffy.

When someone buys a ticket, they can add it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet straight from their confirmation email. No app, no account, nothing to print.

‍

There's nothing for you to switch on. It already works on your events.

‍

Same pass, one less thing to dig for at the door — no more scrolling through inbox search. Works for raffles and memberships too.

‍

See your events →

Add sizes, colors, or any option you name, and each combination keeps its own stock count.

‍

A sold-out medium greys out instead of disappearing, so buyers can see it existed and you know what to reorder.

‍

Works on custom forms too, not just your shop.

‍

Set up your shop →

Type “VIP table” or “member rate” and Zeffy offers you the setting that goes with it — group ticket, members-only, or a tax receipt — right under the description.

‍

Set a total capacity for the whole event and Zeffy warns you if your individual ticket numbers add up to more than the room holds.

Sometimes you just need to bill someone — a sponsor, a vendor, a board member's company match. Send an invoice straight from Zeffy, no pledge step required.

‍

They get a link good for a year and pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or bank transfer, whenever they're ready.

‍

It lands against the right campaign and the right person automatically — no spreadsheet to reconcile later.

Someone wants to give, just not today. Record a pledge with the amount and the date it's due, and Zeffy takes it from there.

‍

Reminders go out on their own — two weeks before, one week before, two days before. When they're ready, they pay from a link: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or bank transfer.

‍

Pledged amounts count toward your campaign total before the money arrives, so your progress reflects what's coming, not just what's landed.

Pick Standard or First Class for each Donor Mail send, so a year-end appeal that has to land before December 31 goes First Class, and a routine thank-you doesn't have to.

‍

Your letters also move through a faster printer now, with better address validation before anything goes out.

The new membership dashboard shows your whole program in one place: active members, auto-renewals, memberships expiring in the next 30 days, and members who recently lapsed.

‍

Each card opens the exact list of people behind the number, so you know who to follow up with. It updates in real time in the Campaigns tab, no spreadsheet required.

The new recurring donation dashboard brings your donor health into one view: total support raised, new monthly donors, predicted recurring revenue for the year, and the donors who recently lapsed.

‍

Open the Campaigns tab and it updates on its own, no exports or spreadsheets. It flags recurring donors who stopped giving in the last three months and links straight to that list so you can reach out.

Choose pick-up, shipping, or both, and buyers pick between them before they pay.

‍

Orders land in a Fulfillment tab where you mark each one ready, and Zeffy emails the buyer that their order is waiting — or on its way.

‍

Zeffy can invite a one-time donor to make their gift monthly, right in the form as they give — and you switch that invitation on or off per campaign.

‍

Turning a one-time gift into a recurring one is the single highest-leverage thing a donation form can do for you.

Your share menu prints a sheet for each item — your logo, the item name, its starting bid and minimum increment, and a QR code that opens that item's bidding page directly.

‍

A guest standing in front of the painting scans the card beside it and bids on the painting, rather than landing on a list of forty things and hunting for it.

‍

Bidders can set the most they're willing to pay, and let auto-bid take it from there — outbidding others automatically up to that limit.

‍

One tap to set a max, then bidders can walk away from the screen instead of refreshing all night.

We upgraded how your Zeffy donation form looks and works when embedded on your website. Dynamic height so the form fits the content on every step. Smooth transitions when donors move between steps. Adapts to any width, whether full page or side panel.

‍

To get the new version, go to your campaign, click share, and copy the new embed code. Paste it where the old one was on your website. Takes about two minutes.

‍

Fund designation is now a native feature on Zeffy. Add funds to your account once, attach them to any donation campaign, and let donors choose at checkout. The breakdown shows up automatically in your payout report, so no more manual exports or spreadsheet grouping.

‍

Setup takes about 2 minutes. If you already have a custom question doing this job, you can swap it out for cleaner reporting right away.

A dedicated Members tab now lives inside your Contact section. Filter by status, membership type, join date, expiration, auto-renewal, and more — so you always know who's active, who's lapsing, and who needs a nudge.

‍

Open any contact to see their full membership details at a glance. And your Campaign hub now includes a filtered member view, so you can see exactly who's in each program without jumping between pages.

You now have a single, shareable page where supporters can find everything you do, including events, donations, memberships, auctions, and more.

‍

You control what shows up. Choose which campaigns to feature, add your logo and colors, and write your own description. Everything updates automatically as you create new events—no extra work.

‍

Supporters can browse, register, donate, or buy tickets without leaving the page, and subscribe so they never miss what's next.

‍

Your page is already set up in your dashboard—just unpublished for now. Take a few minutes to customize it, then publish when you're ready.
