Virtue offers access to over 60,000 verified causes. You can also add your own partner organizations if a cause isn’t listed. 2. **Create Donation Products in Shopify**: In your Shopify Admin, create a **separate product for each cause** you wish to support. * The **product title** should clearly reference the cause (e.g., “$5 Donation to Clean Water Project”). * The **price** should match the value you want customers to redeem using their loyalty points (e.g., $5 = 500 points). * Set inventory to "Continue selling when out of stock" to avoid stock issues. * Use a **custom product type or tag** like `Virtue Donation` to keep them organized.
