20.2.7. General Donation Widget

The General Donation Widget lets you put a link anywhere and ask for donations. You can put a link on your website or in a social media post.

✅ Pro Tip: Campaigns

First it's important to understand you can have separate donation campaigns to raise money for various things. To start with you can set up a General Donation campaign. However, at some point, you may want to do a targeted donation campaign. Let's say you wanted to raise money for a new autoclave, or to hire a new vet. To do this -- and have a seperate special link just for this type of campaign -- you'd set up a new campaign just for this special project.

Setting up a campaign

1. Go to Settings > Donations > General Donation Widget.
2. Click +Add button.
3. Fill in fields, mark campaign as active and save.

Putting a donation link on website

1. Go to Settings > Donations > General Donation Widget.
2. Copy the link and drop it into your website.

Posting a link on social media to ask for donations

1. Go to Settings > Donations > General Donation Widget.
2. Copy the link and drop it into a social media post.

You might notice the link is long. To shorten it you can use a free tool like https://tinyurl.com.

1. In Tinyurl, you copy and paste the long link into the shortener and then copy and paste the shorter link into your post.
