How to add offline donations so they appear on page

We know sometimes you want to add offline donations, especially during Giving Days.

There are a number of ways to do this and it depends, if you want them to actually appear as comments on the page. We will step you through both solutions

1. I want to add an amount to the amount raised but not have a comment or name associated

This is the easiest way. You just click on the cog that controls the live thermometer bar (see below) and add the offset amount. Note the offset is a cumulative total, so you need to bear this in mind. The close it and click publish and it will have updated

2. I want to add an offline amount and want it to be attributed to a name and potentially comment on the donation page.

When you are ready to add an offline amount, click on the donation box cog (the right one in the pic below) at the top 

 

A blue donation configuration box should appear. Go all the way to the bottom and Click "Add Pledge Button"

Close the blue donation box (top right there is a cross). Click either desktop or mobile view. A pop up will appear. Should have (Features/Draft) in the URL.

You will be putting the pledge through on this page. You should see a pledge button appear.

Put the amount through (remember matching giving as well if relevant, it's the amount that the donor wants to donate you type in the amount box). Fill in the other details and push pledge button.

It will ask you to confirm your pledge. After you have confirmed, it will go through and added to the thermometer bar and comments.

Note if you need to add a pledge to a team, you go through the same steps here and when the desktop/mobile preview loads, click on the team (through the teams box) you want the pledge added to and go through the steps above.
