Charity contribution disclosure

Draft policy — complete the bracketed details and obtain review for your operating jurisdictions before launch.

adopt.me contributes 10% of the product subtotal after discounts, excluding taxes and shipping, adjusted for refunds and cancellations, to participating animal charities. Processing fees and operating costs do not reduce the calculation base. A $100 eligible subtotal produces a $10 contribution.

The customer pays no additional charity surcharge. Contributions are recorded when the order is paid. Partial refunds reduce the eligible product value. Adjustments after a transfer are reconciled against the business’s contribution balance.

Beneficiaries and registration details: [CHARITIES]. Allocation: [RULES]. Transfer schedule: [FREQUENCY]. Transfer evidence and reporting contact: [DETAILS]. The Impact page distinguishes accrued contributions from recorded transfers. Figures are reported by currency.

Stripe checkout does not automatically divide the payment between the seller and charities. The business arranges transfers. A retail order is not a charity donation receipt.
