Be Cause, the donation chain of an impact startup
Be Cause turns corporate gifts into donations to charities. We reinforce its tech team, from the partner API to transfers to charities.
- The need
- Be Cause already had its platform and its developer. To grow, it had to open up to its partners’ HR tools, automate how donations are split and make money flows that allow no mistakes fully reliable.
- What we built
- A partner API and portal so HR tools can trigger gift donations
- New features for the client company space
- An internal console to split donations after each campaign
- Transfers to charities, prepared while their verification is pending
- Wallets, virtual IBANs and e-invoices with Lemonway
- How we worked
- We work hand in hand with Be Cause's developer, on their code, with a weekly meeting. In a financial chain, every cent must be auditable. Amounts are stored in cents, the gap between UTC and Paris time is handled, and nothing is written before it is committed to the database.
- Technologies
- Python
- Django
- PostgreSQL
- Celery
- Kubernetes
- React
- Stripe
- Lemonway
- The result
- Since 2025, the Be Cause platform has opened up to partners and handles donation splits end to end. 80 % of participants fill in the end-of-journey form.
