I-Frame

An I-Frame (also known as an inline frame) is an HTML element used to embed content from third-party websites. While the service itself (e.g., a form) operates on a third-party host, it is displayed on the embedding site. Typical donation forms, like Soulclick Smart, are integrated into nonprofit websites via I-Frames (or native plugins). I-Frames allow complex features, such as online payment, to be added to a website without programming. However, they raise questions about data privacy (e.g., where the data is hosted) and data ownership (e.g., what happens to your data). These factors should be carefully considered when choosing a provider.
