Create a Giving link that has a pre-set amount, frequency, occurrence number, fund, and start date. Your personalized Giving link will look like the example below, but you will need to edit the different components to create the default donation settings you desire. Components after Fund ID are optional depending on how you want your donation set up, but they must be added in the order shown below.
Your personalized Giving Link will look like this:
There are 6 components to the personalized link:
- Your Giving Link
- The Fund ID
- The Default Amount
- The Default Frequency
- The Default Occurrences
- Future Start Date
The 6 Components
1. Giving Link
In this area, you will enter your church's giving link. To find your giving link, go to the Dashboard > Giving page in your portal and click the View your giving-related links drop-down menu.
2. Fund ID
You can find a fund ID in the Giving > Funds page in your portal. The Fund ID is right below the fund name.
Once you get your fund ID, you can replace the number 11 in the template link above with the fund ID.
3. Default Amount
Replace the 1000 in the link with whatever you want your default amount to be. The number should be without decimals; for example, $10.00 is written as 1000 in the URL.
4. Default Frequency
Replace the MONTH in the link with whatever frequency you would like to be the default frequency. If you want to create a gift link for a one-time gift, leave the frequency out and end the link with the default amount. The frequency options are:
- DAY
- WEEK
- BI-WEEK
- MONTH
- QUARTER
- YEAR
*Note: Frequencies must be written in your link exactly as they are written above and in all caps.
5. Default Occurrences
If you are adding a default frequency to your link, you can also add a set number of occurrences. Replace the 12 in the link with whatever you want the default amount of occurrences to be. There is a max of 265 occurrences.
6. Future Start Date
By default, the personalized giving link will set the date of the gift to the date it is accessed. This means that any recurring gifts will begin to process that same day. If you want the gifts to process in the future, you may add a start date to the end of the link. Currently, start dates must be within the next 60 days.
Replace the date after start= with any date up to 60 days in the future, following the YYYY-MM-DD format as shown.
Customize your own link
