The Historic England Foundation is a charitable organisation that supports the work of Historic England - the public body that helps people care for, enjoy and celebrate the history that surrounds us now, and in the years to come. As part of expanding their public profile the Foundation wanted to improve their online fundraising process.
Their goal was to simplify the donation experience and seamlessly integrate a user-friendly form into their recently developed campaign page. The solution aimed to securely process donations through an external payment gateway and update internal transaction records within their CRM system. Additionally, a robust temporary storage system was implemented to address any potential payment-related issues and ensure a smooth donation process.
Understanding the requirements
Through collaborative discussions with the client and technical discovery meetings with their developers, we gained valuable insights into their goals and requirements. By working closely with their team, we developed a complete understanding of their requirements and the desired user experience.
Creating the solution
To achieve the desired outcomes, our team used REACT to develop a customised form that met their unique needs. This form seamlessly integrated into their website template, providing a cohesive user experience. The integration with the payment gateway platform allowed for secure and efficient processing of donations. Furthermore, we ensured direct integration with the CRM system, enabling simplified management of transaction information.
To guarantee a reliable donation process, we implemented a secure temporary storage system. This mechanism ensured that any payment-related issues were handled, ensuring data integrity between the payment gateway and CRM transaction information. Through thorough testing and optimization, we delivered a reliable, user-friendly and secure donation system for The Historic England Foundation.
