whether Fundraisers may be started. By default it is on that actions may be started, but via Settings > Disable creation of fundraising pages you can turn this on or off per level.
Now Fundraisers can be started:
Now it is not possible to start Fundraisers:
Frequently asked questions
Whether you can start an fundraiser also depends on possible space. If you have set up Activities and they are full, you will not be able to start an fundraiser until there is space again.
For this, the same applies as creating an fundraiser via the frontend: This is only possible if it is currently possible to create an fundraiser and there is space (i.e. the Activities are not full). However, you can allow fundraiser creation again, create the fundraiser and then disable it again immediately afterwards.
No, you then only block creation of fundraising pages at that level. Fundraisers can then still be started at the sub site or campaign level, but can no longer be created directly under the website.

Sign up flow for companies
Business registration allows one to reserve and checkout spots for an event in ééone time for several colleagues.The default options for signing up for an event are:-individual-team-team memberBut what if a company wants to sign up, reserving and paying for a number of places right away? And that no other people can sign up on their company page. For this, the special Sign up flow for Companies is available! This functionality can be turned on or off by iRaiser per website.

A company package can be a specific number of registration certificates, or it can be a number specified by the company itself. Items can be added to a package as desired, such as promotional items, t-shirts etc. For example, you can create a bronze, silver and gold package. In order to use the Sign up flow for companies, at least ééone company package has to be created. You go to the place in the platform where you want to add it (e.g. directly under the website, or at a certain Campaign) and go to Settings > Company packages. Then click on Add Company packages and you will come to this screen: You have two choices:Specific number of entriesCompany determines number of entriesSpecific number of tendersWith this choice, the content of the package is fixed. For example, a company package where you purchase 10 places. Here you enter the following:Title of the packageDescription of the contents of the packageNumber of registration placesTotal amount for the package (this amount can also be 0 euro)Company determines number of subscription spacesHere the price per spot is fixed, but the company decides how many spots they want to reserve and settle.You fill in the following per company package:Title of the packageDescription of the contents of the packageAmount to be paid per registration (this amount can also be 0 euro)Add company package to Sign up flowAfter the company package has been created, it is important to add the possibility of company registration to the sign up flow. You do this by going to Settings > Sign up flow (where you want to add this). You can then choose from these options here: Sign up flow companySign up flow looks like this:1. The 'How do you commit' drop-down screen has added the option to sign up as a company2. In the next step, choose a package. If it is a package where there is only an amount per subscription, you also need to enter the number here3. In the step after that, fill in all the company details4. Here you fill in the details of the contact person. This person will also be the manager of the company page5. Next, you create the company page. You upload a logo and fill in the title and motivation and target amount6. Additional questions (optional)You will only see this page if additional questions have been added at company level. Do you want these added? Please contact us at support@kentaa.nl. 7.On the summary page, check all the details entered and then go to the payment screen Mail-after-subscriptionAfter registration you will be sent an email: In that mail is a link that allows someone to sign up directly. One shares this link with colleagues who want to participate and then they can create an action fundraising page right away! This link can also be found in the admin dashboard.Manually create a companyYou can also add Companies manually from the dashboard. You do this by going to where you can add the company (e.g. on a particular Campaign). Then click Companies and then Add. If you don't see this option, please contact support@kentaa.nl. If so, the functionality still needs to be turned on.Next, fill in all the fields you would normally have had to fill in as well. The fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. After filling in and saving, the company is created. No emails are sent when creating the company via the dashboard.Sign up flow actions.The sign up flow for someone creating an action page with such a link looks like this:1. Start sign up flow. Here you can see what you are going to sign up for 2. We're curious to know who you are. This is where you create your profile3. Your personal page. Here you fill in your title and motivation and how much money you want to raise4. Overview page where you can check the data entered. As payment has already been made you can go straight to round up Now a colleague's Fundraising page has been created. A visitor can Donate to that Fundraising page or to the company.Working method in combination with activity moduleWhen the activity module is also used, the company's Sign up flow requests the desired activity. This activity is then applicable to all members within the team. DashboardA new menu item called Companies has been added to the dashboard. All registered companies are listed here. If you click on the 'i' you will see the company's details. Here you will also see the link where people can register. You can also download an Excel file from Overview. Here you can see an example of the output of this. Companies and Fundraisers.An action starter who has signed up through a link (I'll just call these 'Companies Fundraisers' below) can be seen as a regular action (i.e. not created under a company), but there are still a few differences. Here's a summary:You cannot move regular action starters to a Company. Conversely, you cannot move Company Campaigns to (for example) a Campaign. Company actions appear in the Overview of all action starters and also in the export (and api) of all action starters. You will then see some additional columns reflected in the Excel file. See here an example. Do you want to use this functionality? Then get in touch with us! If you have a customised design, the functionality needs to be built in here first.
Webshop e-tickets
Ticketing via the webshop (“Ticketing”)Are you organising an event that requires tickets for attendees? If so, our webshop's ticketing feature could be the perfect solution. This feature allows you to create tickets automatically for your campaign, allowing you to stay organised and ready for your event.Features:This feature allows you to::Create varied ticket types based on cost.Register the data of the person who buy the tickets, also for future communications.Manage ticket availability and the maximum tickets that a supporter can purchase (this can be more than one if needed). During the event, easily track who is attending, and report the final attendance of the event in one click.Scan ticket during the event, and also add volunteers who can help with scanningTo activate this feature, let’s go through the steps to enable this:Enable e-tickets with the webshopFirst of all, check if the “E-tickets” and “Webshop” features are enabled in the left bar of your platform.Then, check if it's possible to turn off the creation of the fundraising page under Settings → Fundraising page.If this is not possible, please contact iRaiser support. We will check if the feature is included in your plan and then activate it for you.Create your ticket(s)To add a ticket item, go to Dashboard > Webshop > Catalog. From there, enable the webshop, add a new item, and select the 'ticket' option. You can then give the ticket a name and an amount. If it's a free ticket, simply enter "0."Additionally, you can indicate availability and set an order limit. This way, you maintain control over the number of available tickets. For example, you could create a ticket with 250 spots available, and allow a single buyer to order only four of them.You can, of course, create more than one type of ticket, with different availability and order limits for each.We also recommend adding an image; this makes the ticket visually recognizable in the registration flow. If a ticket is sold out, it will be grayed out. If it is the only type of ticket available, it will disappear completely from the registration flow.Remember to check where the tickets are available to supporters. If you create a ticket at the website level and make it available in a campaign, that ticket can be sold at both layers. Availability will be influenced by both: if there are 100 tickets available and one is bought at either the website or campaign layer, then there will be 99 tickets available for the next purchase, regardless of whether it happens on the website or in the campaign.Set up the “Sign up flow”The Sign up flow is the process a person goes through to register on the platform. In this case, it's for purchasing tickets. Let’s see how to create a simple registration flow for ticket purchase.Turn “Create a fundraising page off”On Community Fundraising Platform, by default, the person who registers is asked to create a fundraising page. For ticket purchases, we may not want them to create a page, so we need to go to Settings → Fundraising page, and then select “off”.Disable (or not) the “Start Donation”During the sign-up flow, you may ask people to make an additional, optional donation. If you don't want to add this step to make the ticket purchase even more straightforward, go to Settings → Start donation and uncheck that option.Customize the Sign up flowIt’s time to manage the steps of the registration process. Go to Settings → Sign up flow.If your website has different registration options (individual, team, etc.), you can turn them off for this layer where you want to sell tickets. We also suggest “show webshop” as the first step, so that the available tickets are the first thing presented, even before asking for registration data.You can then customize the text shown in every step of the flow on the left hand side: click on the second tab, “Sign up flow”, and then on “edit” corresponding to the step you want to modify.Remember that you can also customize the “Thank you page”, which is the page displayed after tickets are purchased. You can add text to reassure the buyer and build excitement for the event. For example: "Thank you for purchasing your tickets! You'll find them in your email in a few minutes. We're looking forward to seeing you at the event!"In the last tab, “Texts”, you can customize the registration button with a more event-related call to action, like “Reserve your place” or “Buy tickets”.EmailsOnce a client purchases tickets, they will receive related emails. The most important one will contain the PDF of the tickets attached, with one PDF per ticket.A single ticket will look like this:Note:The time it takes to generate them is proportional to the number of tickets. If only one ticket needs to be generated, it will take a few seconds. If 10 tickets need to be generated, the email will take a little longer to be sent.There are three emails to consider when enabling the ticketing system:“Set your password”: This is the standard email sent to any new user creating an account on the platform.In the email section of the layer where you created the tickets, you can then find the “participant” section.Here you may want to customize:Welcome email new participant: This is the email the purchaser will receive just after they have signed up for the event. Thank you mail for webshop ticket(s) order: This is the email with the various tickets attached. If the purchaser buys new tickets, they will receive another email like this one with the new tickets.Managing event attendanceOnce the event begins, you may want to manage the attendees. Each ticket has a QR code and a unique code on it.By clicking on E-tickets → E-tickets webshop → Overview, you will find the complete list of all the tickets generated. You can search for them by purchaser name or ID.You can even scan the QR code with your camera (by clicking on the icon in the top right corner of the page), or create “scanner” users. Those are specific users that are only allowed to scan the tickets (they can not download data, they can not modify the contents…). Depending on the level you added them, they can scan tickets from that level. For example when you add a scanner to a specific campaign, they can only scan tickets from that campaign.Differences between tickets from participants and tickets from the webshopIn the Community Fundraising Platform, you might encounter another way to generate tickets: "participant tickets."Both types provide a PDF ticket with a scannable code, but there are some differences in how they can be used.Participant Tickets are primarily designed for events where individuals are asked (or encouraged) to set up a fundraising page and are mainly registering themselves. Marathons or other sporting events are good examples of this. If someone wishes to register more than one person, they will need to go through the registration process individually for each person. The ticket can be sent to the purchaser at a different time than when it was bought.Webshop Tickets, on the other hand, are intended for events where the main focus is simply allowing people to attend the event itself. The purchaser can buy multiple tickets in a single transaction, and the registration process can be significantly simplified by offering the ticket as the first step and removing steps like creating a fundraising page. Tickets are sent right after they're bought.If you are hosting a conference, a gala evening, or a concert, webshop tickets are the ideal choice for you.
Badges to reward action starters
Action starters can get badges in the iRaiser platform to reward them and give them extra motivation. There are two types of badges:Achievements badges. These are badges that one can earn by actively recruiting. These badges ("medals") are greyed out on the Fundraising page and are coloured in when the respective goal is achieved.Retention badges. This badge is linked to the number of participations. This badge ("ribbon") appears on the participant's action picture and shows how many times someone has already participated in the event.Badges for achieved goals (Achievements badges)These badges are aimed at motivating action starters to get started with their Fundraising page and reach various goals.For example, someone gets a badge for the first Donations and for posting a blog post. There are also badges for the amount of money raised (250, 500 and 1000 euros) and badges for the number of supporters (10, 25 and 50 donations).When this functionality is on, the following badges automatically appear on each Fundraising page:These badges are greyed out when not yet achieved and coloured in when achieved. The green colour you see above in the badge is the spot colour set on the site. This way, the badges are nicely integrated into your style.Badges are automatically coloured when the condition is achieved. When the functionality is turned on, all badges of existing action starters are also awarded retroactively. There are no emails associated with the badges. Although you could copyëren the email "More raised than set amount". You can then indicate in the mail when they reach 250, 500 and 1000 euros that they have earned a badge. Hooray!The badges have a fixed layout and also fixed conditions, and you can only choose to put all eight of them on them. You cannot make your own adjustments to this at the moment. We do want to make this adjustable in due course.Interested? Then send a message to iRaiser and we can turn it on for you!.Badges for number of participations (retention badges)You have the option of displaying a badge (image) on participants' fundraising page depending on the number of times they have participated.These Badges are part of the retention functionality, which consists of:The edition of your event -> This feature must be enabled to use the badges and retention functionality.A conditional welcome email based on number of participationsAble to set target amounts for action starters based on number of participationsThe aim is to make participants feel welcome and encourage them to participate more often. For a complete description, read the article on retention functionality.You can upload an image per participation. We have created four designs for you, see the downloads below. But you can also choose to design your own badges. This image has specific requirements: it must be a png image with transparency, the image must be 745x419 Pixels in size. So a landscape image. The badge is being placed over the existing image, so make sure the badge is not too large and is in one of the corners.You can only add retention badges if an edition is set. Please contact us for this.Download below your set of badges for returning participants.
Team page
You can register as an individual, but you can also start a team or join an existing team. As a team, you have your own team page, where you can see more information about the team and who the team members are. Here, as team captain, you can add news items and edit the team page. Watch the video on managing teams here, or read more about specific sections below.00:00 - Welcome00:27 - Overview and download team01:23 - Adjust a team02:46 - Creating teams manually03:49 - Creating team members04:22 - Appoint a team captain 05:33 - Move teams06:01 - Other options Article contentTeam captainContentSettingsDonationsTeam membersManagement teamTeam captain changeAdding team members to a teamDelete team membersAdd a team via the dashboardStarting a team as an fundraiser after registrationCap on number of team members Team captainThe team captain is the one who created the team and thus the one who is in charge of the team. The team captain can do the following:ContentChange team name, profile picture, title and team description (Content > Motivation)Add image or video to team page (Content > Pictures and videos)Add sponsor logos (Content > Sponsor logos)Add news items (Content > Blog)SettingsAllow team members (Settings > Allow team members)Here the team captain can choose to allow unlimited members, allow a certain number of team members (note: if an activity must be chosen then this option is not there), or no longer allow team membersClose team (Settings > Close page)Set target amount team (Settings > Target amount)DonationsThe team captain can view all donations made on team members by clicking on the 'i' behind the donation.Team membersA team captain can remove activists from his or her team. This can be done on the team members overview page, by clicking on the three dots behind one of the team members and choosing 'Remove from team'. A team captain can also see more information about team members' fundraisers by clicking on the 'i' under the three dots. Management teamAs a site administrator, you can immediately see per fundraiser whether it is a member of a team or not. You can see this through the following icons:FundraiserTeam memberTeam starterChange team captainYou can change the owner of a team. You do this by going to teams and looking up the team. Then click on the three dots behind the team and choose 'assign user'. Then select the new owner of the team (if necessary, you can create a new user first).Adding team members to a teamIf someone has signed up and then finds out that he or she would have preferred to be in a team, that person cannot change that themselves, only a site administrator can do that.Adding an existing participant/fundraiser holder to a team is basically no more than moving this fundraiser to the team. First, you look up the fundraiser by going to 'Fundraisers'. Then click on the three dots and select move. You look up the team and click move. Then the fundraising page will appear under the team and that person has joined the team. Deleting team membersA team member is nothing more than an fundraising page linked to the team. If you delete a team member, the page is no longer linked to the team, but the deleted person's fundraising page remains in contact. You can delete a team member as follows: Find the team and press Manage. Then click on Team members. Then click on the three dots behind the team member you want to delete and selectDelete from team.Adding a team via the dashboardYou can also create a team via the backend. To do this, first go to where you want to create the team. For example, at site level (if your registrations are at website level), under a sub site or under a project. In case you want to add the team under a project, first find the project and manage it. Then go to teams and click on add team. A team always has a team captain, so you can link it to an existing account, or add a new account. After linking the team to an account, all you have to do is fill in the team name, team title and team description. Starting a team as an fundraiser after registrationAfter registering an fundraiser, you can also optionally start a team as an fundraiser. This can be done via the start team button:You can then create a team via the dashboard:After completing all the information (including, for example, additional questions to the team captain), the team is created. The fundraiser this team is created with then becomes team captain. No e-mails are sent after team creation.You will see the button to create the team only if:You don't have a team yetIt is possible to start a team (So via Settings > Sign-up flow > Sign-up options)It is possible to start an fundraiser. So the fundraiser start must not be blocked and there must still be free spacesOnly site administrators and the fundraiser himself can do this. The button is not visible to subsite and campaign administrators. Cap on number of team members If you have an event with a maximum number of team members, you can set this via Settings > Default team settings. All teams that are then created are allowed to have a maximum of that set number of members.You can set a maximum via Settings > Default team settings via Team members limit:If you choose "Yes, I want to specify a limit for teams under this page." there, you can set the maximum number of team members. The fundraiser who is a team captain himself also counts as an fundraiser.After activation, any limits set by the team captain are overwritten. However, if you reset them at a later time, then that previously set limit will also be reset.Existing teams that already have more members than your set maximum will remain intact. Suppose you have a team of six people, and you set a maximum across the whole project of four people per team, that team will still keep those six people. Therefore, make sure you have already set it up properly beforehand. A site administrator, sub site administrator and campaign administrator can do this.The 'allow team members' option disappears the moment you set a maximum number of team members over a certain level. So a team captain can no longer set the maximum himselfYou can set the cap at site level, sub site level and campaign level and there is no erving in it (so it is only for that level).
Documents
Participants may need to be able to upload a medical certificate for a particular event to show that they can participate. Or perhaps have to specifically sign and send another document.Upload documentsThis can be conveniently done via Documents. Via Settings > Upload documents you can indicate whether documents should be uploaded after registration. You can indicate here in the Description what should be uploaded:Mails about documentsFundraisers are then asked to upload their documents. For new registrations, the mail to fundraisers "Request documents to upload after registering participant" is sent. By default, the two mails below are also still on:You can turn it off if necessary or adjust the number of days via the copy icon.Upload documentsIn the mails there is a link to go to 'my registration'. This requires the fundraiser to log in and click on 'My registration'. A notification is displayed at the top that documents still need to beüpload:Below, the fundraiser can upload his documents:The text from the Description will appear above 'Upload file'.After uploading the file, it will look like this: Controlling documentsIf mail to site administrator 'Document(s) uploaded' is on, the site administrator will receive a message after an fundraiser has uploaded documents. In that mail is a link to go directly to the correct page.You can also go to the Overview of Fundraisers to see if that the fundraisers have already uploaded their documents:You have these icons:No document(s) uploadedNo document(s) uploaded, not checkedDocument(s) approvedIf you then manage the fundraising page and go to 'My Registration' you can check the documents. You can choose to reject them by clicking delete, or approve them by ticking the box at the bottom:If the documents are deleted, the notification will reappear for the fundraiser and he should upload them again.If you create an export of all Fundraisers you will see two columns applicable to the documents. These are the columns:Number of documentsDocuments approved

You can do so with the webshop function within the platform. This feature makes it possible to offer products and even services to anyone who creates an action on the website. The webshop is not on by default on the website, it can be turned on by a support person on the website. To do this, contact iRaiser. After this, the products must be added to the catalogue. Once the products are put in the catalogue, the action starter can see this right away and order directly in the action start flow!But what if these products only apply to a specific Sub site or Campaigns? No problem! In fact, it is possible to set up a catalogue at segment or project level. This catalogue will then only be visible to the campaigners at this level. Conversely, it is also possible to set up a catalogue on the main level, after which you disable it on a lower Sub site or Campaigns.Webshop items addAdministration ⟶ Webshop catalogClick Yes, there is a webshop catalogue to add webshop itemsClick Product addFill in a title (mandatory)Fill in an amount (mandatory)Evt: upload an image of the productEvt. add multiple variants (e.g. S, M, L, XL, XXL)Click SavePlease note: Unticking Yes, there is a Webshop catalogue disables the webshop but does not remove the products.

1. General terms and conditions and privacy
.
According to the Consumer & Market Authority, general terms and conditions are valid if the consumer knows they apply at the time he or she purchases the service from you. So you must make the general terms and conditions available and clickable in the sign-up and donation flow. - Source
When creating an action én when making a donation, Users no longer have to agree to the terms and conditions. You automatically agree to these when making the Donations or when continuing in the flow:
As you now also automatically agree to the privacy statement, we have added this to the api as well. This will be automatically saved as consent for newly created Fundraisers after 20 October. For old action starters/donors, this data is not saved retroactively.
2. Opt-ins have become soft opt-ins
Normally, a consumer must give an active opt-in at the time he or she wants to receive a newsletter or to be contacted by phone. The exception to this rule is the concept of 'customer relationship'. Since 1 July 2021, the concept of 'customer relationship' has been broadened for charities. Besides a financialële transaction, a volunteer and event participant is also counted under a customer relationship. In other words, someone who takes action on your behalf may be seen as a customer relationship. For a donor, this was already the case as they completed a financialële transaction. - Source
We replaced several opt-ins with soft opt-ins for the above reason. Whereas previously you had to tick yourself that you want to be kept informed of News updates, for example, this tick is now already on by default. This also applies to the two different tick boxes aimed at telephone solicitation. Here it is good to know that you, the customer, can change these consent texts yourself in the dashboard. We have turned on the checkmark by default in these places:
To keep informed
This is what you will see after making a Donations:
b. When entering your phone number in the Sign up flow or Donate
We can turn on the second tick about marketing purposes at your request.
c. Newsletter (when donating)
3. Indicating whether data may be shared
Contact information was shared (at the time it was entered by the donor) with the action starter. As this is not always desirable, we chose to add an additional soft opt-in when making a donation to an action, team, company on Campaign:
You, as a donor, can choose not to share details with the initiator of the action. This can be:
The action initiator
The team captain
The company manager
The project manager
If you uncheck this box (which is on by default) then that data is not shared with the action starter. Who will see it returned as Anonymous:
In the Excel file, an additional column has been added, at the very end, with 'Share contact information':
You as site administrators can still view this data.
4. Update 20 June 2023: Adjustment in show first name donor
Since 20 June 2023, a change has gone live that relates to the following scenario:
- You make a Donation and, when Donating, choose not to share your details with the initiator.
Previously, the name on the front end was then always shown as anonymous. With the logic that it's strange not to share your details with the initiator of the action, but that they could then still see at the front end who had donated.
We noticed, however, that it raised a lot of questions and confusion among donors. Especially because they were under the impression that showing the name was only linked to the checkbox "Display my name on the website. "
We have now made that showing of name dependent only on the option "Shield my name on the website." If that tick is not turned on, you will see the donor's name on the website.
To clarify, we have now changed the text on sharing with the initiator to: "Sharing my contact information with the initiator of this action, so they may send me a thank you, for example."
We hope this makes it a lot clearer for the donor. This is a change that took effect from 20 June. Older Donations have not been made visible retroactively. In case you had an old donation where it was indicated that the data should not be shared with the initiator, the check mark at name blocking has now been switched on for each old donation. If you have a donor who wanted this to be shown, you can now change this in the system by looking up the donation and setting the checkmark to 'do not hide'.

3. Indicate whether data may be shared
Contact information was shared (at the time it was filled in by the donor) with the collector. As this is not always desirable, we chose to add an additional soft opt-in when making a Donations: 'My contact information may be shared with the collector.' :
If you uncheck this box (which is on by default) then that data is not shared with the collector. It will see them as Anonymous in the automatic Emails:
In the Donations overview that a collector can see, the donation can also be seen as anonymous:
You as site administrators can still view this data.
Default action and team settings
Settings ⟶ Default fundraising page settingsCreativity is not given to everyone. And not everyone has the patience to come up with their own texts or upload their own photo in the submission flow either. Give the user a hand by already filling in a title, description or photo! Participants who just want to join in don't have to face unnecessary barriers, which improves conversion. But participants who want to actively manage their own fundraiser can still fill in their own picture, title and description.

The default team settings involve the default team title and description. All of this is to speed through the sign-up flow, and the user can then choose to keep this text or give it their own interpretation.We have now made this option available for teams too! You can enter a default team title and description.Change default team titleEnter the team title you want to usePress saveThis title appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Change default team descriptionEnter the description you want to usePress saveThis description appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Cap on number of team membersIf you have an event where you have a maximum number of team members, you can set this via Settings > Default fundraising page settings. All teams that are then created may have a maximum of that set number of members.You can set a maximum via Team members limit via Settings > Default team settingsIf you choose "Yes, I want to specify a limit for teams under this page." then you can set the maximum number of team members there. The fundraiser who is himself a team captain also counts as an fundraiser.After activation, any limits set by the team captain will be overwritten. However, if you reset it at a later time, the previously set limit will also be reset.Existing teams that already have more members than your set maximum will remain intact. Suppose you have a team of 6 people, and you set a maximum of 4 people per team over the entire campaign, then that team will keep those six people. Therefore, make sure that you have set it up properly beforehand. This can be done by a site administrator, sub site administrator, and campaign administrator.The option 'allow team members' disappears the moment you set a maximum number of team members over a certain level. A team captain can therefore no longer set the maximum himselfYou can set the cap at site level, sub site level and campaign level and there is no inheritance in it (so it is only for that level).Can't figure it out? please contact us!
Additional questions in the Sign up flow, donation form and customised form
It is possible within the platform to request additional information. For example, requesting a shirt size, explicit parental consent, agreeing to the additional participant regulations, etc. But also, for example, requesting extra information when making a Donations to apply for tax certificates or a special opt-in to be called. There are three places where we can add additional questions for you. In the sign up flow, the donation form and in a customised form. You cannot add the extra questions yourself. Should you wish to do so, please contact us and we will add them. Content of articleSorts of additional questionsInsert fieldsText fieldTextareaMore-choicesDropdownRadioCheckboxExtra textWhere can additional questions be added?Sign up flowDonation formCustomised formOn which levels can additional questions be added?Where can I see the completed answers to the additional questions? Types of extra questionsInput fieldsWe have two types of input fields, a textarea and a textarea. The two are distinguished by the size of rows displayed. If you expect a short answer then you choose a textarea. In it you ask a question (which has a maximum of 40 characters) a the user fills in an answer: If you expect a longer answer you can work with a textarea: PlaceholderFor a text field or -area, you can specify a placeholder. This will then appear when the question is completed. This can be useful if you want to receive the information in a particular way, for example "enter the date dd-mm-yyyy here".Validation typesYou can have a specific form of an answer specified. For example, if you ask for a specific date or a bank account number. If information is then specified that does not meet those specific validation requirements, the answer will not be accepted. These are the validation types we have:Numbers onlyOnly letters, dashes and dotsNumbers, letters, dashes and dots onlyValid e-mail addressValid phone numberValid IBAN numberValid zip codeValid date of birth (dd-mm-yyyy)Valid date (dd-mm-yyyy)Valid date in the future (dd-mm-yyyy)Valid date in the past (dd-mm-yyyy) Multiple-choice optionsWe have three options for multiple-choice options, and with all three you may also optionally choose to display only one option. These are the dropdown, radio and checkbox:DropdownAt the dropdown you ask a question after which the user has to click on the answer option to expand it. There they can then select one of the choices. RadioFor radio, the first response option is selected by default. Users can then choose to select another option instead.CheckboxThis allows you to tick one or more answer options yourself.For all the questions above (except radio), you can indicate whether that question is mandatory or optional. Extra textTo introduce the questions, or give some extra information, we can insert titles and info text. A title has a slightly larger font than the infotext. Where can additional questions be added?There are three places where we can add additional questions. In the sign up flow, on the donation form and in a customised form.Sign up flowThe additional questions are asked in the sign up flow after creating the sponsor page (or team page/company page) and before the webshop/startup donation/overview page (depending on which steps there are in the sign up flow):Donation formThe addition of additional questions to the donation form works the same and you will then see these below the personal data. The only difference is that no special personal data should be asked in this place. Customised formWe can create a customised form. This is in the form of a Menu item and in it you can request information (separate from the sign-up and donation flow).You enter an e-mail address and the completed forms are one on one forwarded to that e-mail address. These come in as separate emails and you cannot download an Excel file from this.Optionally, you can set another destination url where the user, after filling in the form, is automatically redirected.Below are some examples of applications of custom forms:Customised form of the Giro di Muscoli for participants in the family stageHere they ask participants to fill in the names. Customised Night of Refugee form to order t-shirts separatelyCustomised form from the Metakids Foundation for a participant action.An action starter sells shells and these can be ordered using this form. This action starter receives the submitted emails and can match the orders to the payment reference.On which levels can additional questions be set?"Customised forms always appear as Menu items, but additional questions for the sign-up or donation flow can be set at different levels. Below you can see which ones:Everywhere on the websiteOn the homepage onlyOn the homepage of a Sub siteOn a specific CampaignIn addition, you can choose between whether the additional questions should be asked to a campaigner, a team captain or a company starter.Where do I see the completed answers to the additional questions?For the Donations form you will see these in your dashboard near the donation itself if you click on the 'eye'. In addition, you can find it in the Donations Excel file. An extra tab has been added there where the completed answers to the extra questions are listed.In the Sign up flow, you can see the extra questions in the actions/participants when you click on the 'eye'. In addition, you can find them in the Fundraisers Excel file. There too, an extra tab has been added where the completed answers to the extra questions can be found. For Teams and Companies it works in the same way (click on eyelet, and in the export of Teams and Companies respectively)In the case of a adjusted form, the completed results are emailed to the email address provided. Do you want additional questions added? Then contact us.

Here you can see a number of settings.View sign up flowYou can always use this button to enter the sign up flow to see what it looks like. The preview mode is only meant to view the sign up flow, you cannot create fundraisers in this mode.Sign up flow optionsHere you can choose which way people can register. You have the following options:Individual + team + team memberIndividual onlyTeam + team memberIndividual + team + team member + companyIndividual + companyYou will only see the options based on the functionalities that are on. If you are not using the company functionality, then you will only see options 1, 2 and 3. If there are no teams either then you can only select individual here and the entire step in the sign up flow will be skipped.Adjust order of steps in sign up flowYou can change the order of the first four steps. You do this by dragging them with the mouse until they are in the desired order. The other steps all have a fixed order.Change text left sideYou can change the texts listed on the left-hand side of the sign up flow. For example, if you click change behind 'Who are you'. You can then edit the text in the next screen:If you click 'Change default value' then you can edit the text and add a description if you want. You can always go back to how it was originally by clicking 'Restore default value' again afterwards. And you change the text on the left (in the green sidebar):You can do this for all steps.Other mattersThere are a number of other things you can set on the Settings > Sign up flow page (see also screenshot below):You can change the text on the fundraiser start button (this can vary per campaign/sub site). The new text (e.g. come into fundraiser, swim along, etc.) can be a maximum of 15 characters and that includes spaces.You can customise the texts on the selection screens. These are selection screens that you see when you click 'start fundraiser' and then have to make a choice:General selection screen "What do you want to take fundraiser for?". Here you choose what you want to start the fundraiser for, whether it is, for example, a general fundraiser or an fundraiser for a campaignSub site selection screen "For which sub site do you want to take fundraiser?". Here you choose for which sub site you want to start an fundraiserSelection screen campaigns" For which campaign would you like to take fundraiser? Here you choose for which campaign you want to start an fundraiserSign up flow stepsThe sign up flow that fundraisers see is shown based on settings. Think, for example, that you will see an extra step with registration fee, if you use that. Below, under 'Basic' you will see the steps that are normally always there and under 'Additional' the extra steps/options. Each step is described briefly below. More information on specific functionality can be found in the support articles linked to this page. You may find below a functionality that is not included in your package.BasicThe following steps belong to the basics of the sign up flowSign up options: How do you commit?Here you can see the sign up flow options and choose how you want to sign up. You can set this via Settings > Sign up flow > Registration options. You will not see this step if there is only one option, such as individual.Profile details: Who are you?This is where you create an account for the platform. If you already have an account then you can log in and your already known data will be filled in automatically. The mandatory fields here are First name, Last name and e-mail address and agreeing to the general terms and conditions. We can optionally or compulsorily request the following additional fields here:Address (Street, House number, Suffix)PostcodeLocationCountryGenderPhone number (an additional opt-in will automatically be added here in accordance with telecoms legislation)Team pageIf you choose to create a team, you will be taken to the 'Your team page' page. Here you enter at least:The team name, the amount you want to raise, the title and the motivation. You can fill in the title and motivation beforehand via the standard settings. The amount raised can be set via Settings > Set target amount. If you chose individual or team member in the previous step, skip the team page step.Personal sponsorship page: individualYou then proceed to the page to create your individual fundraiser. Someone who creates a team in the sign up flow also creates a personal fundraiser. You can fill in the title and motivation beforehand via the standard settings. You can set the amount raised via Settings > Set target amounts. It is also possible to continue without creating an individual fundraiser if the sponsor page is optionally enabled.Starter donationBy default, this step is on, asking the fundraiser to make an initial donation in advance. This donation is optional, but we see that it is often done. You can adjust the amounts and possibly add a description via Settings > Set donation amounts. We can also turn off the initial donation if you wish.Overview pageHere you will see an overview of what you will order, or what you have selected. If necessary, you can choose to register another person. This way, you can create an fundraiser for several people at once and check them out.Thank you pageWhen payment has been made, you come back to the thank-you page. Here you can customise both the text on the left (which is standard) and the text and image on the right. You can use this to display an image that suits your site.SupplementaryEntry feeYou can add entry fees, if you ask for this for an event, for example. An fundraiser is required to choose an entry fee, but this could possibly be an entry fee of 0 euro.ActivitiesThe activities module allows you to add a (mandatory) choice question in the sign up flow. For example, a list of distances from which the fundraiser must choose, or the question of what kind of fundraiser it concerns.Editions: retention at eventsIf you use retention (editions) and an edition is set at the level you sign up at, you will be asked if you have participated before. Based on the answer, you can add badges, add a different target amount or send other emails based on the number of participations.Date of fundraiserThere is a site setting where it is mandatory for an fundraiser to specify an end date of the fundraiser. An fundraiser then gets the mandatory question "Until when does your fundraiser run". If a general countdown date is set at the level they are notified at then the question is not asked. All underlying fundraisers will then automatically get that date as the end date.Performance: Mileage targetIf achievements are possible at the level at which you create your fundraiser, you will be asked how many kilometres the fundraiser wants to cover. This is an optional question, and if filled in then this becomes the target distance for this fundraiser.You can also choose to leave that question away, by going to Settings > Achievements and unchecking the checkbox "Ask the participant's achievements goal in the registration flow":Additional questionsWe can add extra questions and this can be set per campaign, sub site, at the website level or across the whole site. We can ask the extra questions to fundraisers, but also specifically to team captains. With the extra questions, you can request additional information needed for your event. For example as in the example below that event participants are 18 years or older or have permission from their parent(s)/guardian(s). The answers to these extra questions are reflected in the export (of fundraisers and teams).WebshopIn the webshop, you can offer any additional items that can be bought. You set these up via Administration > Webshop. The webshop is only accessible in the sign up flow. You cannot therefore sell items via the platform outside the sign up flow.Discount codesYou can add discount codes and they only apply to the registration fee. That way, you can give early registrants a discount, for example, or let certain people register for free. If that functionality is on, you will see a place to enter a code at the overview screen.After clicking, you can enter the codeAnd if the code is correct, the discount code will be applied to the registration fee.
