Can my customers make a donation without buying a ticket? - Wed - Sep 4, 2013 - 2:07pm

    Customers can make donations without buying a ticket if you create a Campaign from the Fundraising tab on your left-hand menu (Giving >> Fundraising Campaigns). You can customize your campaign with a description, image, and a financial goal you would like to reach in donations. Each campaign can have suggested levels of giving with a dollar range of values within the level. You can add descriptions per level to notify donors of what may be included with each donation level available. Additionally, you can customize the donation email receipt for tax purposes. You can either share a link with customers to donate or simply make donating accessible by adding our embed code to your website. You can access the embed code and shareable links by navigating to: 

    Once you have added a Fundraising Campaign or chosen the campaign that you would like to advertise for, click “Get Code >” under the Embed column for your chosen campaign.

    Choose between iFrame, Link, and Overlay:

    - iFrame gives two options for embed code: choose between embed code that leaves donations open-ended or embed code with Donor Classification levels that suggest certain donation tiers for your patrons to choose between. Donor Classifications will suggest a donation range and can provide info on what benefits are associated with specified Donor Classification tiers. - Link gives the same two options for open-ended donations and Donor Classifications but is used as a shareable link that you can send to individual patrons or include in email campaigns or other advertisements. 
     - Overlay: Overlay also gives the same two options for open-ended donations or Donor Classifications. Overlays can be used to display the campaign listings as an overlay after a user clicks a link. You can replace the ‘Donate’ text (at the top of the overlay embed code) with whatever phrase or button you would like to open the Overlay.
