Cause Shield + Raisely

Setup in 10 minutes

Three required steps, one optional. No code review required.

1. 01

   Sign up + connect Stripe

   Create your Cause Shield account and authorise the read-only Stripe connection. Within seconds we’re scoring every charge for fraud — no code changes on Raisely required.

2. 02

   Drop in the tracking snippet

   One async script tag. Lights up uptime monitoring, real-visitor analytics, and the goal tracker. Your tracking_key is shown on your website’s settings page after sign-up.

   HTML

   <script async src="https://causeshield.com/track.js?k=YOUR_KEY"></script>

   Copy

   Paste in your Raisely donation page custom HTML — typically Raisely admin → your campaign → Settings → Custom code → head. Once per campaign is enough; the tracker covers every page on that subdomain.

3. 03

   Point your Raisely webhook

   One URL handles every kind of event Raisely sends — donations, registrations, refunds, disputes. The smart classifier auto-detects what each payload is so you don’t need separate endpoints per event.

   URL

   https://causeshield.com/api/wh/YOUR_WEBHOOK_KEY

   Copy

   Add this in your Raisely admin → Settings → Webhooks (or wherever your Raisely workspace exposes outgoing webhook URLs). Subscribe it to all event types — the smart classifier sorts donations, registrations, refunds, and disputes for you.

4. 04

   Identify donors for Supporter Trails

   Optional · Partner

   Wire one line into your donation form’s success handler and Cause Shield will stitch a donor’s anonymous pageviews to their supporter record. You’ll see the full journey — first landing page, channel, the donation — on every Supporter Trail.

   HTML

   <script>
     // After your donation form successfully submits:
     if (typeof window.csTrack?.identify === 'function') {
       window.csTrack.identify(donorEmail);
     }
   </script>

   Copy

   The email is sent over HTTPS, hashed server-side with a per-org pepper the moment it arrives, and dropped from memory before any database write. Plaintext donor emails are never persisted on tracking events.

What you’ll see in the dashboard

Three recurring emails. One live dashboard.

• Every morning

  Daily fraud digest

  Plain-English summary of yesterday's flagged donations from your Stripe and webhook stream. Card-testing waves, unusual velocity, suspicious BINs — surfaced before chargebacks arrive.

• Every Monday

  Weekly traffic report

  Where Tuesday's donors actually came from. Channels, devices, goals, and a w/w narrative written by Claude — no tagging plan required.

• First of the month

  Monthly security report

  External configuration audit of your donation domain — TLS, DNS hygiene, security headers, exposed paths. A defensive checkup, not a penetration test.

Running multiple Raisely campaigns or subdomains? Each one becomes its own Cause Shield website, with its own tracking and webhook keys, but the dashboard rolls them up so you see fraud, uptime, and traffic across the whole portfolio in one place.
