Settings > Extra description

In the Extra description, you can enter an extra attribute. You can add this attribute at all levels. So at website- Sub site, campaign level. This can be useful to earmark money or give a label to certain Fundraisers, for example.

The donor or fundraiser does not see anything about this attribute, but it is added to the overviews you can create by clicking 'download'. For example, in an Overview of Donations or Fundraisers. You will then find it in the Excel file in the column headed 'Characteristic'.
Via the api, it also returns. The additional attribute there is called:

external_reference
    string
     External reference for this site.

 
For more information about the api, please visit our Developer Portal

What is included in the Monthly reports?
Directly after the end of a calendar month, a financialële Monthly report is available within the iRaiser Dashboard. The financialële Monthly reports contain a sum of all income and expenses in the month in question. It includes the following transactions:

transactions that have been given the status 'paid' in the month in question 
only transactions settled via the online checkout
successful PayPal and Tikkie transactions are also included in the statistics

The Monthly reports can be viewed by month and downloaded by the site administrator in an excel file.
What do the columns mean?
All black amounts are income and all red amounts are expenses.
Donated
This includes donation income. Both regular donations and any start-up donations. It is a sum of the donation amounts. This does not include contributions to transaction fees, registration fees and webshop revenue.
Registration fee
This includes receipts from paid registration fees.
Webshop
This includes receipts from webshop items purchased at registration.
Total refunded/refunded
The total amounts refunded by the site administrator and the total refunded by an end user, respectively.
Transaction fees including VAT
This is the cost of the payment service provider including VAT. PLEASE NOTE: this is an eo good indication of these costs. The costs may differ slightly from the actual payment service provider costs. For the actual payment service provider costs, please refer to the statement of these costs by the relevant payment service provider that can be seen in the payment service provider's dashboard. These transaction fees are automatically deducted from payouts by the payment service provider. 
iRaiser fees incl. VAT
This refers to iRaiser's variable licence fees including VAT. These are calculated automatically per transaction based on the applicable agreements. In case of a volume tier this is automatically taken into account. The corresponding invoice of these costs can be downloaded via the download button. These variable iRaiser licence fees are automatically deducted from the payouts by the payment service provider. unless other agreements have been made. 
Split by Sub site and Campaign
At th top of the report are the totals for the entire website. A breakdown is then given on that:

All transactions directly below the website homepage, broken down by Campaigns. Below that are the income from transactions on Fundraisers and Team pages created directly under the homepage and therefore not covered by a Campaign. Finally, general Donations made directly on the website's homepage. At the bottom there is a subtotal of all transactions directly under homepage, i.e. not under a Sub site or Campaigns.  
In case of using the iRaiser Sub site module: all transactions per Sub site. For each Sub site, a breakdown of transactions per Campaigns is also given. Below that are the income from transactions on campaign and team pages that were created directly under the Sub site page and thus do not fall under a campaign. Finally, general Donations made directly on the website's Sub site page. At the bottom is a subtotal of all transactions directly under the relevant Sub site.

One of the most important pages within the platform is the donation page. In the donation form, the donor can decide how much to donate, or choose one of the suggested donation amounts. By default, these amounts are set at €15, €25, €50 and €100.

Suggested donation amounts adjustable
In the Dashboard, these amounts are customisable via Settings/ Set donation amounts, allowing you to experiment with the right amounts based on average donation amounts or linked to impact.
Show text at donation amount
An explanation or encouragement can be added to each suggested donation amount. This explanation appears when the donor hovers over the amount. You can use this explanation to make the proposed donation amount concrete or as an encouragement, for example:

Donation form in registration flow (self-donation)
Not only on the donation form are donation amounts customisable. The sign-up flow also includes a donation form. Of course, these amounts are also adjustable, and it is possible to display a text with each amount.

There are several places where you can enter a target amount. You can set this specifically per level (Website, Sub site, Campaign, Fundraiser, Team). You can set these via Settings >Target amounts. We distinguish between a:

Default amountThis amount is shown by default as the target amount when creating a campaign, company, team or fundraiser. But can be changed afterwards
Minimum amountWhen creating a campaign, company, team or fundraiser, you can adjust the target amount, but it cannot be set lower than this amount

You can set this at the website level and for campaigns, companies, teams and fundraisers.
WebsiteUnder website, you can set the target amount for the entire site. This will then appear on the homepage with a retrieved percentage. You can also leave the target amount empty. Then no target amount will appear in the counter status. You will also not see a collected percentage.

An example of a set target amount of €200000 on the homepage
 
CampaignsThis is where you set the default target amount for campaigns. This is mainly used when site users can create their own campaigns. You can then also set a minimum amount to be entered there. Alternatively, you can leave the target amount blank.
CompaniesHere you set the default target amount that companies enter when creating a company. You can leave the target amount blank, but teams must always enter a target amount themselves (it cannot be left blank)
TeamsHere you set the default target amount that Teams specify when creating a company. You can leave the target amount blank, but teams must always enter a target amount themselves (it cannot be left blank)
FundraisersHere you set the default target amount that Teams specify when creating a company. You can leave the target amount blank, but teams must always enter a target amount themselves (it cannot be left blank)
 
Target amounts based on number of participations
If you use editions, you can choose to let people who have participated before raise a lower target amount a second time. Depending on the number chosen, the suggested target amount may vary.Example: If you participate for the first time, the minimum target amount is €300. If you participate in this event for the second time or more, the minimum target amount is €250.
You can set this at the level where people can subscribe, under Settings > Target amounts. There you can choose a target amount, depending on the number of entries. This way, you can allow participants who have already collected a very high amount once to collect a lower minimum amount the next time. In practice, you often see that they still raise a good amount, while the threshold to participate again and ask for an amount is lower.

Add manual donations
Donations ⟶ Manual donations

First go to the level at which you want to add a manual donation. This can in fact be done at all levels of the iRaiser website (Main level, on a Sub site, to a Campaign, a team or an Action).
Then go to the Menu item Donations and click on Manual donations.
Click on Add Manual donations.

A new window opens.

Fill in the date and time the donation was made. By default, the current date and time are entered here.
Fill in the Amount the donation amount.
Fill in a First name and Surname as well. The remaining fields are optional.
Optional: tick Anonymous if the donor's name should not be shown at the front of the website.
Click on Save
The manual donation has been added and will be counted in the donation counter(s).

Please note! It is also possible to enter a negative manual donation, for example, to reduce the total amount on the meter. Simply insert a minus-dash (-) before the amount. A negative Donations will not be displayed on the website.
In case you are working with Match funding and it is active where you add a manual donation, you have to choose whether the manual donation should also be Matchfunded or not.

Settings ⟶ Rewards (Crowdfunding)
Do you want to give Users extra motivation to Donate? Then maybe rewards are right for your website. With rewards, you can link a goal or consideration to a specific amount you choose. 
For each reward, you can indicate whether the donor's address should be requested so that you can send the reward afterwards. You can also indicate how many of these rewards are available, and the availability is automatically updated as soon as the donor chooses this reward.
Also, you can indicate how many of these rewards are available and the availability is automatically updated as soon as the donor chooses this reward.
Add rewards

Select Yes under the heading Rewards on Donations
Enter the donation amount under Amount (tip: start with an amount higher than € 5,-)
Enter a Title in
Enter a Description 
Select at Reward payout whether it is a physical reward to be sent
Indicate the availability of the reward at Number available (Optional)
Tick I want to send the reward.. at (Optional)
Label the reward as recommended with the button Mark as recommended (Optional)
Click Save or select Add another reward to make multiple rewards available

Rewards 

After a contributor has chosen a reward, the data (title, description, etc.) of this reward cannot be modified by the Managers. This requires contacting the iRaiser support team (chat, email or phone) to do so. This measure is in place to prevent fraud.
The main level administrator (site administrator) can enable an automatic Emails in order to be informed of the chosen (physical) rewards. This e-mail is fully customisable and can be found under: Emails > Emails to site administrator > Receive Donations linked to a physical reward
A reward that has already been sent and thus completed can be marked as such by the site administrator. By clicking on the gift icon behind the donation in question, the details screen appears, where at the bottom the reward can be ‘ticked’; off. Here the processing time appears. This time is also shown in the Excel export.

Within the platform, there are various options for viewing statistics. For example, you can export Donations, Fundraisers, Teams, Campaigns and Sub sites, as well as view Monthly reports. We also have ready-made overviews of relevant overall statistics and more on this in this support article.
Figures
The key figures can be found at the website level under Analytics > Download statistics. Here you can select a certain period for which you want to see the key figures and then click 'Create Excel file'. This will give you an Overview of the relevant key figures (the content may vary based on the content of your platform). These key figures can be useful to analyse the data on the platform and make adjustments if necessary. Specifically, you will see key figures in the following categoriesën (if present on the platform): PaymentsDonorsDonations by deviceDonations by payment method Average donation amountNumber of donationsPay Later Actions (including closed and invisible)TeamsProjectsSegmentsTransactions
Analytics
At each level you will see Analytics. These are graphically displayed statistics on the following components:
Number of DonationsAverage donatedNumber of FundraisersSmile of participants
And if used on the platform:Selected ActivitiesSelected Registration fees Returning participants
You can select a period you want to see the Analytics from at the top and you can optionally choose to download the statistics as a pdf.
If you hover over the Analytics itself, you will see more information about it. Under 'Number of Donations', for example, you can see how many donations have been made.

 
Statistics from underlying levelsBy default, statistics from underlying levels are turned on. This means that all statistics are shown. If you turn this off then you only get the statistics of that level. Concretely, for example, this looks like this:You are at the website level and also have Campaigns. If you don't choose to show statistics from underlying levels then you will only see statistics done at the website level. For example, general Donations. You won't see a donation made on a Campaign then.
Statistics
On each level you will also see general statistics:
For example, you can immediately see the average donation amount, how many Donations there are and the amount raised. These statistics appear at every level. For example, for a Campaign specifically, you can immediately see all relevant information. In addition, action starters, for example, also see relevant statistics for them.
Also here you see that toggle 'Also show statistics of underlying levels' and it works in the same way. With this, you differentiate between all statistics, and statistics that are directly below that level (which you are currently on). 
Statistics with this icon are clickable. This shows you graphs that are also clickable.
 
 
 

This page shows an overview of all donations (including manual and matchfunding) that fall under the level you are currently working on. You can look up specific donations here, see more information about a particular donation and move donations around. You can also make a download of all donations.

Donations search
In the search bar (top right), you can search by a name, e-mail address or transaction id. The transaction id is the number that usually starts with T2023 and is a unique number. Through that number, you can quickly trace a donation.
Period
You can choose to show only donations from a certain period. If you have many donations, or are only interested in recent or older donations, this may come in handy. You select a period by clicking on 'Period'.

Then select the desired period:

To make navigating the dashboard easier, we save the period selection in the browser, so the next view you view will also have this period pre-selected.
 
Columns
There are several columns belonging to the donations:

The columns Date, Amount, Payment status and Payment method are clickable. You can filter with these. If you click it again, it will filter in reverse.
At the 'Donation on' column, you can hover over it with the mouse. You will then see the level at which the donation was made appear.
In the column 'Amount' you will see icons when web shop items, discount codes or rewards are involved. You can recognise donations with a web shop item by the shopping cart. For donations where a discount code was used, you will see a ticket icon and for donations where a reward was chosen, you will see a gift behind the donation.
 
Download
You can use the 'Download' button to create a Download of all donations under where you are at the moment. After clicking the button, an Excel file is generated and its link is sent to the e-mail address you are logged in with. If you click on the link (and are logged in) then you can open the Excel file. If you have made a selection you will only see the donations made in that period. The second tab of the Excel file shows the answers to the additional questions.
 
Information
Clicking on the i's will show you all the information about the donation:

If there is a donation with a reward you will also see this. Here, you can click on the box to indicate that the reward has been processed:

Management options
If you click on the three dots you will see the options you have with a donation. These are Manage, Move, Anonymise and Delete

Manage
By managing a donation, you can change a donor's name, or change a message accompanying the donation (for example, if a donor wants to correct a spelling mistake). You can also hide or make visible the name attached to a donation.

Move
It can happen that a donation has ended up in the wrong place, for example on a team instead of a team member. You can then move it by clicking on the three dots and move and find the place where the donation should go. If there is a registration fee attached to the donation, you cannot move it. You cannot move manual donations either. If you want to move them, you can delete them in one place and add them in another. Finally, you cannot move donations made via matchfunding. You can only do that after the matchfunding donation (which is listed as a manual donation) has been removed.

Anonymise
This option allows you to completely anonymise a donation. The account number information will be removed and you will see 'Anonymous Anonymous (Name Shielded)' as a donor.
Remove
You can only delete donations made with a test checkout. You can delete them via this option. Real donations are always saved.

Through an API key you can retrieve information (automatically) on the platform. There are several parties that have established links to systems such as Salesforce, Collectekracht, Microsoft Dynamics.  Content of articleAPI-keyLimitUse API keygenerate API keyAPI key sharingLink with CRMBased on downloadsAutomatic linking (not real-time)Coupling via iRaiser Connect (real-time)Salesforce linkage (real-time via iRaiser objects)Famous integratorsiRaiser Connect couplers CMSTB EudonetIfunds (Engage)Cisis (Converse/Collect force)XaptiCivicoopSalesforce links (via our Salesforce link)Xebia (former Gcompany)CobraBluedeskOutbirds (formerly Bridgin.it)Customer examples API-keyYou can generate and use an API key yourself at no cost. An API key allows you to make API calls and retrieve information from the database associated with the platform. An API key is linked to a site and so it only allows you to retrieve information about that site.LimitThere is a default limit of 100 requests per minute and 500 requests per hour. This is also sufficient to retrieve the data. If you want to increase this number you can contact iRaiser.Use API keyIn our developer portal you can find all the technical information about using the API key. So you can see exactly what information you can retrieve. For example, there you can see the iRaiser API, the Digicollect API and the technical information about iRaiser Connect.API key generationVia Integrations > API users you will arrive at the overview page with API users. Here you can generate a new key as follows:Click Add and enter the user's name there. You can then choose whether the user can only read information, or also modify it (via write permissions). In this Menu you can also deactivate the user at a later time.When you click save, the API users have been created. Click on the i to see the keyYou will also see information there about the known ip addresses this key has been used by and what calls have been made.API key sharingAn API key basically gives you access to all data found on the site. Therefore, make sure you share a key in a secure way. For example, if an integrator needs it to establish the link, we recommend that you send it via a password-protected file and share the password by text message, for example.  Link with CRMYou can get data from the iRaiser platform into your own CRM in several ways. In this we offer a fixed form where you can get the data from the platform and then you have to process it yourself and get it into your CRM. Often there is still a conversion needed to make sure that the data is converted to the format of data in the CRM and needs to be linked properly. Therefore, to set up that process, an integrator is often used.Based on downloadsFrom the iRaiser dashboard you can create downloads, for example of Fundraisers, Teams and Donations. There are customers of ours who periodically do an import into a CRM based on these downloads. Often there is still some editing to do to make the data suitable for import, or the import is aligned with the Excel file you can generate from iRaiser. We usually announce changes to the columns, to ensure that this does not disrupt the customer process.Automatic linking (not real-time)Using the api key, you can periodically retrieve data from the iRaiser platform. For example, if you retrieve the data once an hour or a day and process it in the CRM. Creating such a link does require technical knowledge and usually you need an integrator for this. Coupling via iRaiser Connect (realtime)You can also establish a real-time link via iRaiser Connect. This works on the basis of webhooks. We are given an endpoint to send a message to when a certain event occurs and based on that, you can use the api key to retrieve all the corresponding data and then process it yourself. We can optionally set at which events such a message is sent. Creating such a link does require technical knowledge and usually you need an integrator for this. Installing the link also involves costs on our side. If you want to know more about this, please contact your account manager.Salesforce link (real-time via iRaiser objects)This functionality will be deprecated. While existing configurations will remain functional, they will no longer receive updates or support moving forwardYou can interface with Salesforce based on iRaiser Connect. However, we have also established a standard link with Salesforce. The difference with the link via iRaiser Connect is that in Salesforce we put all the information in ready-made iRaiser objects (a kind of packages with all the data in it) directly into Salesforce. It then has to be retrieved by you and put into Salesforce. However, you do need technical knowledge to ensure that the data is then processed in Salesforce. For example, you need to see exactly what data you want and you may need to convert the data to another format so that it matches your data. To automate this, customers of ours often use an integrator. You can find the technical information on this page under the heading Salesforce. Installing the link on our side also involves costs. If you want to know more about this you can contact your account manager. Famous integrators iRaiser Connect couplersCMCM offers links to their CDP (Customer Data Platform) where all the information comes in.

Here are some examples: Maarten van der Weijden Foundation - streamingThe Maarten van der Weijden Foundation themselves linked to their stream via the api. In doing so, they periodically collected recent Donations and displayed them on the stream:They also created a library for this purpose, which other customers (with technical knowledge) can also use. They did not use an iRaiser Connect link, but kept in mind any limits during data retrieval.Dutch gaming marathon - streamingThe Dutch Gaming Marathon used iRaiser Connect in 2020 to show real-time Donations and related messages on the stream.

General
Two forms of Match funding are supported within the iRaiser framework:
1. Starter donation2. Multiply Donations
With the first variant, each new action, Campaign or Fundraiser receives an initial donation of a fixed amount from the company or fund. This could be interesting at a fundraising event (each participant is sponsored with xx euros by company X) or on a crowdfunding platform (each campaign receives an initial donation of €xx from company X).
For the second variant, each donation is doubled (or far x-fold) by the company or fund doing the match funding. In both variants, the maximum amount available for the match funding can be set.
The donation counter graphically displays the ‘match funding’contribution. Thereby, it can be referred to a page within the platform with more information. Match funding contributions are not subject to variable licence fees charged by iRaiser.

Use 
On request, we can turn on Matchfunding functionality. You can find it then in the dashboard under Menu item 'Settings -> Match funding'. You can enable this at site, Sub site or project level by going to this level, managing it and going to Settings > Match funding and clicking on 'Yes, I want to use Match funding'.Following this, you can fill in the various fields:

By organisation (mandatory field)Here you fill in the name of the organisation doing the match funding sponsoring
Colour You can choose a colour here and this colour will be reflected in the donation counter. 
Donations message Fill in a message here. This will be displayed with the donation. Suppose you enter "Match funding - Sustainability Fund" here it will look like this at the front end: 

More info URLTo provide more information about how your crowdfunding and Match funding works, you can create a Menu item (at site or segment level). You can put the url of this behind it. Once an url has been entered, an i will appear next to it where the user can click to read more information. 
 Type Match funding
1. Start donation
With this type of Match funding, the organisation donates the first part of target amount when an action is created, i.e. not when making a donation. After the action is created, a (manual) donation is made directly on this action. You set its amount under Amount. You can optionally set a Maximum amount. Once that amount is reached, no more match funding will be done.
An example of this type of match funding can be seen here
2. Multiply Donations
This type of Match funding focuses on Donations, and here the organisation multiplies every donation. After a donation is made, it is multiplied immediately. At Number, you can set how often you want to double the donation. Suppose 100 euros is donatedIf you set once, the organisation will add 100 euros.If you set twice, the organisation will add 200 euros.If you set 3x, the organisation will add 300 euros.If you set 4x, the organisation will add 400 euros.
You can also set limits. A limit indicates what the maximum doubling can be. If you have set 4x as the number and a limit of 400 euros, and someone donates 200 euros then the amount the organisation contributes is 400 euros.
Also here you can set a maximum amount. If that is reached then the pot is 'used up' and no more Match funding is done.
An example of this type of match funding can be seen here
.
If you have this type of match funding active and you make a manual donation, you have to choose whether to matchfund the manual donation or not:

 
Output
A donation made through Match funding is a manual automatic donation. It looks as follows:

Match funding is linked to the original donation. If you delete it then the matchfunding donation will also be deleted. If you move the original donation then the match funding moves with it too.
Excel
The Excel file adds a new type of Payment Method: Match funding. Here see an example of an Excel file with match funding in which the columns not used by matchfunding have been omitted for convenience.
