Reframe a ShopGiv contribution as a customer-acquisition expense and see the math from your own numbers. This is a projection based on your inputs — not a guarantee of results.
Industry average — adjust to your numbers. Source: One Haus 2025 (casual avg check ~$14.50/guest); Toast/NetSuite 2025 full-service gross margin 65–70%
$1,875 / year
Your giveback is paid out of the profit on new sales ShopGiv brings you — $1 out of the $17 gross profit a new order/visit adds. It never touches the margins on the business you already have.

$17 contribution / gross margin on a $25 sale − $1 giveback. Projection based on your inputs — not a guarantee.
Incrementality = the share of ShopGiv customers who are genuinely new (people you would not have gotten otherwise). It is the model's key assumption — adjust it to your own judgment.Starts at 90% — ShopGiv reaches an audience you haven't — but this is the optimistic end; adjust it to your own judgment.
The share of each ShopGiv customer's purchase you give to their cause.
Your giveback: 5.0% of each sale, up to $2 per sale.
Estimated contribution / gross margin.
Only the new-customer share is new revenue. Projection based on your inputs — not a guarantee.

Your industry typically spends ~4.5% of sales on advertising (~$4,050/month). ShopGiv is pay-on-results against that — you only contribute on closed sales, and every dollar redirects into your community.

| Without ShopGiv | With ShopGiv | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly sales | $90,000 | $98,100 |
| New sales added | — | +$8,100 (new order/visits only) |
| Donation given | $0 | $450 |
| Net profit / month | $4,050 | $9,068 |
The “new sales added” row counts genuinely-new customers only (90% of your ShopGiv sales) — never every ShopGiv order. Move the incrementality slider to change it.
Safety margin: even if only 7% of these turned out to be genuinely new customers, you'd still come out ahead.
A ShopGiv order/visit has already transacted — a proven buyer, no vetting, no price-shopping. A cold ad lead (anchor: Meta ~$125–350 per acquired customer) is unqualified: many are price-shoppers who never close. For a repeat-visit business this is cost per order/visit, not per distinct person.
You pay for a cold ad lead up front whether or not it ever buys. Your ShopGiv giveback is paid only on a closed, paid job — from someone who already chose you.
You give 5.0% of each sale, but never more than $2 on any single job. So the bigger the job, the smaller the bite — your giveback stops growing once a job passes about $40, even as the job keeps climbing.
| Job size | You give | Effective % |

| $25your typical job | $1.25 | 5.0% |
| $60 | $2.00(capped) | 3.3% |

ShopGiv sends you people who have already bought. Traditional ads send cold, unqualified leads — you quote many price-shoppers to win one job. These estimate that waste, and change the “vs traditional advertising” figure only — they do not affect your ShopGiv cost per order/visit or your profit change.
This projection reflects how ShopGiv is built to work. ShopGiv is pre-launch: these are modeled results, not observed outcomes.
