shopping just got easier on CafeGive

We are excited to announce the launch of CafeGive SHOP.. just in time for all your holiday shopping! Now, in addition to shopping from widgets, you can shop right from CafeGive. 

• You can click through to your favorite stores by clicking on the word "buy" below each store banner, on any "buy now" link or through the original way - by clicking the shopping cart of a  widget.
• The logo at the top of the site identifies the cause that will earn from your shopping. CafeGive automatically recognizes your cause if you arrived at our site through a widget or through a link associated with your cause (in an email, from their website, etc.), or if you identified a primary cause in your advocate profile. You can easily change your cause at anytime by clicking on the link at the top of the page.
