Setting Your Contribution Amounts
Your crowdfunding page shows a set of preset donation buttons so supporters can give with a single tap. You can use the defaults or set your own.
The Default Amounts
If you don't customise them, supporters see these preset buttons:
- General crowdfunding campaigns: $25, $50, $100, $250, $500
- Colour Run campaigns: $15, $30, $50, $100, $250
Supporters can always enter their own custom amount as well, from $0.50 up to $10,000.
Setting Your Own Amounts
- Go to Manage → your campaign → Settings → Contribution Amounts.
- Turn on custom contribution amounts.
- Add your own donation buttons. For each one you can set:
- An amount (minimum $0.50).
- An optional emoji to give the button personality.
- An optional short description (up to 120 characters) explaining what that amount helps with, for example "Feeds a family for a week".
- Drag to reorder the buttons into the order you want.
- Save your changes.
If you turn custom amounts on, you need at least one button. Turn the setting back off at any time to return to the defaults.
Tips
- Give amounts meaning. A short description like "Covers one player's tournament fee" often raises more than a bare number.
- Offer a range. A mix of smaller and larger amounts lets everyone find a comfortable option.
- Keep it simple. Four to six buttons is usually plenty, and supporters can always type a custom amount.
