Donatekart
GTM & Google Analytics measurement for a product-crowdfunding funnel.
Donatekart is India's first product-based crowdfunding platform — a hybrid of crowdfunding and e-commerce that lets donors contribute tangible products (groceries, clothing, books, medical supplies) directly to NGOs rather than giving money. Since 2016 it has partnered with thousands of NGOs across India, mobilised over a million unique donors, and built one of the country's largest disaster-relief programmes, all anchored in radical transparency about where each donation goes.
Because donors choose specific products, add them to a cart, and complete a payment — then often claim an 80G tax exemption — Donatekart's user journey behaves much like a structured e-commerce funnel. The client engaged us to implement Google Tag Manager (GTM) and Google Analytics to properly measure that journey through event tracking, conversion tracking, and related instrumentation.


Client Brief
Donatekart needed reliable, granular measurement of how donors move through its platform: which campaigns and products drive engagement, where donors drop off, and how many complete a donation. Without a robust tagging and analytics foundation, the team lacked a clean, consistent view of conversions and key on-site actions across a multi-step, e-commerce-style giving funnel.
The brief was to set up GTM as a centralised tag-management layer and configure Google Analytics to capture meaningful events and conversions — campaign and product views, add-to-cart and checkout actions, completed donations, and other key interactions — so the team could make data-driven decisions and attribute performance accurately.

Measurement & Tracking Experience Strategy
We approached the platform as a structured conversion funnel and mapped the donor journey end to end — from landing on a campaign, to viewing and selecting products, to initiating checkout, to completing a donation and claiming tax benefits. Each meaningful step was defined as a trackable event, so the analytics view would mirror how donors actually behave rather than offering only top-line pageview data.
GTM was implemented as a single, governed layer through which all tags, triggers, and variables are managed, keeping tracking consistent, maintainable, and easy to extend. This gave the marketing team the ability to deploy and adjust tracking without repeated code changes, while preserving data integrity across the site.

The Idea Behind the Strategy
The guiding principle was that you cannot optimise what you cannot measure. For a transparency-driven platform where every completed donation matters, clean event and conversion tracking is foundational — it turns an opaque funnel into a clear, stage-by-stage picture of donor intent and drop-off, enabling smarter decisions about campaigns, UX, and marketing spend.
The second principle was a single source of truth. By centralising tracking in GTM and standardising event definitions in Google Analytics, the aim was to give every stakeholder — marketing, product, and leadership — consistent, trustworthy numbers, eliminating the discrepancies and blind spots that come from ad-hoc or fragmented tagging.

Technical & Analytics Architecture
The implementation was built on Google Tag Manager as the central tag-management system, with a structured framework of triggers and variables driving event tracking for key donor actions and conversion tracking for completed donations. Google Analytics was configured to receive these events, define conversions/key events, and report on the full funnel, giving Donatekart a coherent, properly attributed measurement layer.
The setup was designed to be scalable and governable — new events, campaigns, and conversion points can be added through GTM without disrupting existing tracking — and to feed clean conversion data into the broader marketing stack, supporting accurate attribution and downstream optimisation across channels.


The result is a robust, centrally managed analytics foundation that gives Donatekart clear visibility into its donor funnel — from campaign and product engagement through to completed donations — replacing fragmented data with consistent, trustworthy measurement. With GTM governing all tracking and Google Analytics capturing well-defined events and conversions, the team can now see exactly where donors engage and drop off, and attribute outcomes accurately.
This measurement layer equips Donatekart to optimise campaigns, improve the donation journey, and make confident, data-driven decisions, while remaining easy to extend as the platform grows. It establishes the analytics backbone a transparency-led, e-commerce-style giving platform needs to scale its impact and steward donor intent effectively.
