When the Alarms Sound: What a Good Agency Does When the Worst Happens
When the internet gets noisy, you can always tell who’s done the work. In late 2025, as Session Reaper began to spread across the Magento and Adobe Commerce ecosystem, the usual chaos followed. Sansec’s alerts went out, inboxes filled, and Slack channels everywhere lit up red. For many merchants, it felt like history repeating itself - it was only a year since Cosmic Sting had made headlines. The same questions surfaced: Are we affected? What’s the risk? How fast can we fix it?

From plugin builds to partner rollouts, analytics to UX, we helped Pennies scale their purpose-driven payments across the eCommerce ecosystem.

Pennies is the fintech-for-good powering micro-donations in UK checkouts. But behind every tap-to-give moment is a serious tech operation - one that needs to work fast, flex across platforms, and protect conversion. We partnered with Pennies to build that infrastructure: platform-agnostic plugins, branded donation flows, onboarding kits for retailers, and impact reporting that speaks in pounds and pence.

Sector

Charity Tech & Payments

Platform

Adobe Commerce + Custom Platforms

The Highlights

- Built a modular, platform-agnostic donation plugin
- Created branded, mobile-first donation UIs for retailers
- Delivered a fast-track onboarding toolkit for eCommerce partners
- Improved performance and reliability across integrations
- Introduced clear, campaign-level reporting for impact and engagement

The Impact

Our work helped Pennies become more than a charitable add-on - we helped make it a product. With scalable modules, seamless UX, and retailer-ready integration tools, Pennies can now onboard partners faster, run more campaigns, and tell a stronger story of impact.

This is how micro-donations go macro.
