Bstow

Bstow is a fintech-for-good startup whose flagship product, Cheerful Giving, lets nonprofits and their supporters raise money through spare-change round-up donations, recurring gifts, and branded campaign pages. Backed by 500 Global, Bstow's Cheerful Giving product now operates as part of the Goodworld social-impact platform (goodworldnow.com), which layers on giving forms, events, peer-to-peer and workplace/payroll giving, text engagement, and an impact CRM. The platform documents webhooks and partner integrations (Salesforce, Stripe, PayPal, Klaviyo, Zapier, Fundraise Up) but does not publish a public, self-serve API reference or OpenAPI specification; API access is arranged directly with the vendor through a sales-gated developer portal. This profile was surfaced from the 500 Global portfolio and enriched by the pipeline.

Bstow is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Non-Profit, Fundraising, Donations, and Charitable Giving.

Bstow’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 8 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/bstow: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
