Online donation form
You may wish to give visitors to your site the ability to donate to your organization, or from time to time your organization may run fundraising campaigns for specific purposes. Wild Apricot features a Donation form which integrates with your payment processor and contact database. You can find the Donation form in your site menu, named 'Donate' by default. (If you do not see it, you can add it using [Add page] button > Functional pages tab.) The donation form is made up of fields from your Contact database and whatever custom donation fields you have defined. To customize your donation fields, please see Donation Form Customization To enable online donations, you need to setup your Wild Apricot account integration for online payments - see Payment settings.
Once the form is filled out, visitors would press the [Donate] button. According to your online payment settings, they will then proceed to online payment. If they already have a Contact associated with their email, the donation details are associated with that contact. If this is their first interaction with your site, then a new contact card is created. Donation record will be immediately added to your donation's database. Once payment processor confirms the successful processing of the payment transaction, it will communicate with our server and the donation will be marked as 'Confirmed' in the database and a confirmation email will be sent to the donor (you can customize it - see Donation Confirmation Email). If the payment has failed or visitors abandons the transaction without completing payment, donation record will stay in 'In Progress' status and after 24 hours it will be automatically marked as 'Likely abandoned'. You can find these records via Donations tab, Donations screen using 'Attention required' filter and 'In progress' filter. See also Financial Management Overview |
