How do I create a donation style collection?

If you are collecting funds for a fundraiser or for a charitable cause, you can use our handy Donation option.

Donation style collections change the wording on the user’s app from ‘Pay now’ to ‘Donate’. Email receipts have also been adjusted to thank your members for their donation.

Here’s how to set up a donation style collection on the dashboard:

To begin with, create a new collection by clicking on the Collections tab situated on the left-hand side of your screen.

Open

Next, simply enter the title of your collection and a brief description. You will then be able to choose the type of donation of either a variable donation or a donation for a specific item.

Below this, you will see two boxes under Advanced options.

The first box asks you if this is a donation style collection. If you tick this box, it will adjust the app for your members. ‘Pay now’ will change to ‘Donate’ and your members will receive a receipt that thanks them for their donation.

The second box asks if you would like to allow multiple payments per member. If you tick this box, it will enable more than one member to donate towards a collection or a member to donate more than once.

Open

You can then create your collection.
