Product Updates
Donation Forms: UX Review
After the initial release of donation forms, the UX team elevated the style of donation forms. Updates include a new layout for recurring giving options, a centered heading, and a stylized confirmation page. Learn More.
Combo Tickets
You can create combo tickets to offer special discounts to your supporters. For example, you can create an offer like “Buy 2 adult tickets, get 2 kid tickets for free,” and GiveSignup’s ticket events will only allow the user to add the free kid tickets once the adult tickets are selected. Learn More.
Donation Form Features
Two new features have been added to Donation Forms: donate button code that you can copy and paste into an external nonprofit website and a confirmation page redirect. Learn More.
Donations: Mail a Card
You can now allow your donors request that a card be sent to their donation honorees. When you enable Mail a Card, the donor will be able to select the option to send a card to their honoree when they make a donation. When the option is selected, the donor can enter the mailing address where they would like your nonprofit to send a card. Learn More.
