Empower Your Giving Forms with Customizable Fields
Creating a giving form that perfectly suits your needs is an easy task with our form builder. It puts you in the driver's seat, allowing you to design and organize fields to capture all the information you need from your donors. Whether you want to gather details before or after payment, our flexible system lets you decide the best time to ask for specific information.
Standard Fields: Simplify Your Form Creation
We understand that certain information is vital to every school's fundraising efforts. That’s why we've pre-loaded a selection of the 20 most common data points schools typically collect from their donors. These standard fields are ready to go—just pick the ones you need from options like Affiliations, Address, and Phone Number.
Adding a standard field is as simple as a click. You get to decide whether a field is required (yes or no) and where it should appear—before (pre-payment form) or after the payment (post-payment form) is made. Each standard field comes with a pre-set Field Type, Label, Placeholder, Help Text, and Report Column identifier, streamlining the process for you.
Pro-Tip: If you include the "Zipcode" and "Country" fields, and your donors are based in the U.S., our system will automatically populate the City and State columns in your reports—no extra work needed!
Custom Fields: Tailor-Made for Your Unique Needs
Need to ask something specific? Custom fields are your playground. These fields let you collect personalized information beyond the basics. Want to know a donor's t-shirt size or if they'd like the alumni magazine? Custom fields can make it happen. These fields give you the flexibility to ask the questions that matter most to your community.
Pro-Tip: The post-payment form is a great place to add your custom questions, especially if they are not required. Think - good to have but not mandatory to have information.
School Fields: Consistency Across Your Forms
For the fields you’ll use across multiple giving forms, school fields are your go-to. These are non-standard fields that, once created, will appear in your form builder for easy access on any future giving forms. You can set them up in the School-Level Settings within your Online Giving dashboard, ensuring consistency across all your reporting columns without needing to reinvent the wheel each time.
Our form builder doesn’t just give you the tools—it gives you control. You can easily customize the order of your fields to create a smooth and logical flow for your donors. Just click, hold, and drag the fields into the perfect sequence, whether it’s for the pre-payment or post-payment form. It’s all about creating an intuitive and user-friendly experience that aligns with your school’s unique needs.
