How do I create a customised donation page for my association?
To create your association's customised donation page, open your Donoor dashboard: your Your payment link is already ready as soon as you sign up, at the address donoor.org/pay/votre-association. Click Set up (or Edit if you have already set it up) to customise its content, colours and amounts, with a Live preview that updates as you go.
This page is permanent: unlike a fundraising campaign dedicated to a specific project, it is your association's general donation page, to be shared all year round. To understand how this link works day to day, also read How do payment links work?
Opening the customisation of your page
- On the dashboard home page, the Your payment link card is at the very top.
- Click Set up the first time, or Edit afterwards.
- The settings open on the left and the Live preview of your page on the right: every change appears there immediately.
- Switch between Mobile and Desktop to check how the page looks on each screen before saving.
The step-by-step detail, with the live preview, is also explained in the course Customising your donation page.
Dressing up your donation page
In the Customisation section, add a Banner (a photo of your activities, your volunteers or your venue), then write the Title and the Description that explain your cause and what a donation makes possible.
Under Appearance, choose the Primary colour, used for your buttons and header strip, and the Background colour: use the colours of your logo so that your donors recognise your association. The Button style offers several shapes, and the Payment button text can be freely customised, for example "I support the neighbourhood".
Can I customise the suggested amounts on the donation page?
Yes. Under Customisation, the Suggested amounts (€) field lets you set up to 6 amounts, suited to your cause and your donors, and you can change them at any time from the dashboard. Click an amount to make it the default: it will already be selected when the page opens. The donor can always enter a free amount if they prefer to give a different sum.
Tip: set as default an amount slightly above your average donation: many donors keep the amount already suggested.
Showing the impact of each donation
The Impact amounts section lets you add up to 4 cards (an amount, a title, a description and an image) that explain concretely what each donation makes possible, for example "€25 — a food parcel for a family". Click Add an impact amount to begin: these cards appear on the donation page, below the suggested amounts, and clicking a card selects the corresponding amount. The details are explained in the course Impact amounts.
Setting the goal and options
Under Fundraising goal, enter a Target amount and switch on Show progress bar: a gauge that fills up encourages people to take part. The goal is optional; without it, the page shows only the total already raised.
Under Options, keep Recurring donations switched on so that your donors can subscribe to a monthly gift, and leave the Cover the fees box as offered: 4 donors in 5 tick it, so that your association receives the full amount of the donation. Tax deduction displays a banner announcing that the donation is tax-deductible; you must first activate the tax receipt service for your association before you can switch it on.
Finally, choose the information requested from the donor, including Full name and Email. Always keep the Email field switched on: without it, it is impossible to send the donation confirmation, and therefore impossible to send a tax receipt if your association is authorised to issue one. Follow the details of these settings in the course Fundraising goal and options.
