Customizable Donations for Event Fundraising

Written by Holly

Use donations when you want attendees to contribute an optional amount during registration, through the Event Hub, from a direct checkout link, or from a donation component on your event site.


​

Create a donation

  1. Go to Ticketing & Payments > Tickets, Add-ons & Donations > Donations and select Create Donation.

  2. In Details, add a title and description. Under Optional perk, add redemption instructions or a URL if donors receive something in return.

  3. In Pricing, edit the donation amount. Choose Fixed for a set amount or Variable to let donors choose what to contribute above the Minimum price. The minimum is also the initial suggested amount in checkout; there is no separate default-amount field. Select Add or Update in the price panel.

  4. In Checkout, configure availability, visibility and ticket-based purchase eligibility. In Access, optionally configure event access, email restrictions and expiry. Advanced controls may depend on your plan.

  5. Select Save and Close.

Where attendees can donate

Active, eligible donations can appear during checkout. Attendees can donate later through Browse Donations in the Event Hub when it is shown. On the Donations list, use a donation’s Actions > Generate Checkout Link for a shareable direct link. The event must be published, registrations open and an active payment gateway connected for normal attendee purchases.


​

Add donations to a page

In the Page Editor, open Components > Dynamic Content. Choose Donation for one selected donation or Donations for a group.

Donation components support Condensed and Standard layouts and description or automatic-summary options. For a group, Exclude Hidden? controls whether to omit donations marked Hide During Checkout?. Turn it on to exclude those items.
