Extra Donation Option for Online Registrations

On the Settings page for an Organization, you can check the box labeled Ask Donation (near the bottom of that page). If you check that box, you will also need to enter a Fund ID in the box below that. This must be an existing Fund in your list of Contribution Funds, so you will want to confer with someone in your Accounting Dept. before setting this up.

Here’s what will happen for the user:

• Once they complete their form and click Complete Registration, they will see a page with the following text – If you would like to make an extra donation, please indicate which person is the donor and enter an amount.
• If they have registered more than one person, they will see a list of everyone they registered, with a radio button beside each one. They should click the button beside the name of the person who should receive contribution credit for the donation.
• If they registered only one person, they will not see a list and the contribution will be recorded on the record of the person who is registering.
• Next, they enter the Donation Amount and click the Complete Registration button.
• This will take them to the payment processing page where they will see the total amount of the transaction.
• They will click Pay with Credit Card and then enter their credit card information and finalize the transaction.

Here’s what will happen behind the scenes when the transaction is completed:

• The person will be enrolled in the organization for which they registered with the Fee for the event indicated in their Member Dialog box.
• A bundle will get created in Contributions with the Bundle Type of Online.
• The name of the person receiving contribution credit will be listed in the Name column in the details of the bundle.
• The contribution will be recorded on the giving record of that person and will display on their contribution statement.
• The Systems Admin will be able to view  and export transactions using the Manage Transactions page (in the Admin menu).
