The Swiss Alternative to GoFundMe
Looking for a GoFundMe alternative suited to Switzerland? With Happy Pot, create your collection in minutes, collect contributions by TWINT or card and bring all participant messages together in a digital card. Happy Pot is a Swiss platform built for local habits. Contributors can join in easily, without creating an account, and leave a personal message that is automatically grouped with everyone else's in a digital card.
What sets Happy Pot apart from GoFundMe in Switzerland
GoFundMe is known worldwide, but it was built for the American market. In Switzerland, you quickly run into limitations: no TWINT, payments processed through foreign providers, and an experience that doesn't match everyday Swiss habits.
Happy Pot was designed for Switzerland, and it shows.
Happy Pot brings money collection and group messages together in one place. Create a collection, share the link and let everyone contribute with the payment method they prefer. Messages left with contributions are grouped into a digital card, giving both the money collected and a personal keepsake. Happy Pot is there for your everyday moments as well as larger solidarity fundraisers, while GoFundMe is better suited to large-scale campaigns.
