With #GivingTuesday fast approaching on November 29th, now is the perfect time to add a donate button to your website to encourage end-of-the-year contributions.
Adding a donate button to your website is as simple as adding a new product. Each donation product displays in your store as an option with multiple prices. The user just picks one of the pre-determined amounts, adds a quantity of 1, puts the donation in the cart and checks out in the normal fashion. This option is easy for customers who regularly shop on your site because they are familiar with the process — they can add products and donations in the same shopping cart. There is some setup involved for you with this option. You'll need to create a product image for donations, write a short description and set donation amounts.
Here's how to set up donations:
When you create your product, follow these guidelines:
- You're creating just one product with the different donation amounts as product options. So name this product something that reflects where the donation is going and add a description.
- Keep the price of the product at 0.00. You'll set up individual prices when you set up the options.
- Click the Tax Exempt button so that tax is not charged on the donation. (optional)
Note: This selection is based on US tax law. If you are outside the US, make sure you follow your country's tax laws regarding collecting donations.
Create the different donation amounts as product options, as described in the following guidelines:
- Use either the dropdown or Multiple Choice option for the Input Type.
- Enter something like Donation Amount as the Option Title.
- Enter the different amounts you want to offer as the Option Choices. Be sure to use the correct currency notations in your amounts, as shown below, and click Save.
