## What is ShopGiv?

Community crowdfunding, reinvented. Every purchase you make at a participating local business automatically funds the cause you care about — at no extra cost to you.
ShopGiv connects neighbors, local businesses, and nonprofits in one simple app. Shop like you normally would. The vendor donates a portion of your purchase to the cause you've chosen. You pay the same prices. The nonprofit gets sustainable funding without running another fundraiser.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Download the free app and create an account in seconds.
2. Choose a nonprofit, school, club, or community fund to support.
3. Shop at any ShopGiv vendor — restaurants, auto shops, retailers, services, and more.
4. Vendors donate automatically. You see your impact in real time.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.92 — 2026-08-26

Signing back in is fixed

Some people were signed out of a saved account and then could not get back in. The app kept retrying a saved password that no longer worked, and the message it showed looked like you had simply typed the wrong password. Resetting your password made things worse rather than better.

That is fixed. If this happened to you, just open the app. It clears the bad saved sign-in on its own the next time it starts, and you can sign in with your email and password as normal. There is nothing to reinstall and nobody to call. A saved account also no longer shows as signed in when it isn't.

If your account needs an extra verification step the app can't complete yet, you now get a message that says exactly that, instead of one that reads like a wrong password.

New in this release

- Change your password without signing out. Settings now has a Change Password screen for anyone who signs in with an email and password. It lists the password requirements as you type and tells you specifically what went wrong if something fails. If you sign in with Google or Apple, it explains that your password is managed there instead.
- Record a purchase when you don't have a receipt. You can now enter a purchase by hand without uploading anything. The amount, the date and your consent are what's required; the invoice number stays optional. Purchases entered without a receipt are reviewed by a person before they are approved. If a receipt upload does fail, the app still stops and tells you, so a failed upload is never quietly recorded as a purchase with nothing attached.
- Share a volunteer opportunity. Volunteer opportunity pages now have a share button with a QR code, plus text, email and copy-link options, so you can hand an opportunity to a friend.
- Referring a business or nominating a nonprofit now stays in the app. The "Know a great business?" card and the refer and nominate buttons open the in-app share sheet or the sign-up form directly, instead of sending you out to a website.

Display and layout

- The clock, battery and signal icons at the top of the screen stay readable everywhere. App content used to collide with them, most visibly on Settings and Transaction History.
- Buttons at the bottom of pop-up sheets are no longer tucked behind the home bar at the bottom of the screen.
- The "Stay in touch?" sheet and the benefits consent screen now fit on smaller phones and at larger text sizes. Their buttons could previously sit past the bottom edge, leaving no way to answer or to close the screen at all.

Elsewhere in the app

- The app now carries the AiN Collective name and logo throughout, replacing the older Stack Technologies mark.
