The Donation Boost functionality in mobile checkout has been working so well for our customers (over $8+ million raised so far!) that we wanted to allow you to use it anywhere you like! The new Donation Boost Widget allows you to accept and process donations via a simple link, completely separate from a shopping cart in Shelterluv.
Your organization will be given a special link that you can place anywhere you think current and new donors might use it - behind a button on your website, linked from your email signature, shared on social media, and any other creative place you have in mind. You can also add a Donate button to your iframe that links directly to this widget, or use the new Text-to-Donate feature. Watch the video below to see how it all works!
Email us at help@shelterluv.com for your organization's special Donation Boost Widget link or take a look at the instructions for creating your link yourself here.
Shelterpay Monthly Giving Program
Your donors may choose to give once or monthly. Learn more here: Shelterpay Monthly Giving Program (recurring donations)
People Records
These donations will be tied directly and automatically into your Shelterluv people records. The system will look at the phone number and email that the donor provides, find the matching person record (if there is one), and add the donation to that person's record. If it doesn't find a match, a new person record will be automatically created in your account with all of the contact information that they entered for the donation transaction:
- Name
- Address
- Phone
Reporting
In your accounting reporting, these donations will say "Shelterpay Donation Boost Widget" in the transaction memo to distinguish them from your other donations. If the donor added a note or signed up to give monthly, those will appear in the transaction memo as well.
You can also automatically code these donations to your configured Funds / GL Codes and Departments in Configurations > Shopping Cart Manager > Donations.
Setup
The Donation Boost Widget uses the same Stripe account that you have setup to use our Shelterpay features (mobile checkout). No extra setup is needed. If you aren't yet taking advantage of our Shelterpay features but would like to enable these in your account, please email us at help@shelterluv.com.
Configuration
The following items are configurable - just email help@shelterluv.com and we'll take of them for you!
