In the Academy of 20-01-2022, the changes were discussed:

iRaiser Academy 20-01-2022 0:00 Introduction |
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'.

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 should make the general terms and conditions available and clickable in the sign-up and donation flow. - Source
When creating a collection box én when making a donation, Users no longer have to agree to the terms and conditions. You automatically agree to these when making the donation or when continuing in the flow:

2. Opt-ins have become soft opt-ins outs
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.

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 adjust these consent texts yourself in the dashboard.
We have turned on the tick by default in these places:
When entering the mobile number
When creating a collection box, if you enter a phone number both checkboxes for approach for tips or marketing purposes are on by default. We can enable the functionality to show the second tick for you:

Newsletter
When donating, if you leave your email address then opt-in for the newsletter is also already automatically on:

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.

Monthly report
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 checkoutsuccessful PayPal and Tikkie transactions are also included in the statisticsThe 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.DonatedThis 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 feeThis includes receipts from paid registration fees.WebshopThis includes receipts from webshop items purchased at registration.Total refunded/refundedThe total amounts refunded by the site administrator and the total refunded by an end user, respectively.Transaction fees including VATThis 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. VATThis 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 CampaignAt 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.
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.
PSP description
Any transaction that is done has a description. If there is no PSP description filled in then it will say Donations <sitename> or Registration fee <sitename>, depending on whether it is a regular donation or one to which registration fee is linked.
You can add extra text to the PSP description. This will then appear with the description and either for Donations <sitename> or for Registration fee <sitename>.
Example:
Here is the PSP description "PSP description with attribute" entered
In the Buckaroo dashboard (this works the same with other payment providers), this looks like this:
A donor will also see this on their bank statement or banking app. Depending on the number of characters filled in, the PSP description will be shown and therefore visible to a donor.
You can set the PSP description per level, and in Buckaroo's (or another payment provider's) dashboard you can then search for all donations with that attribute.
API users and links.
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.

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. From here you can set up mails, but especially mobile journeys during events, for example. They can also link with Digicollect for during a collection. More information.STB EudonetSTB Eudonet has built a link to its CRM for both iRaiser and Digicollect. In real time, a Donations or Fundraisers is also immediately visible in Eudonet's CRM. More information.Ifunds (Engage)Via Ifunds, iRaiser can be paired with Engage 365. All campaigners, donors and donations and Newsletter subscriptions that are recruited automatically land in Engage 365. More information.Cisis (Converse/Collective Force)Cisis can link an iRaiser platform to Converse and Digicollect platforms link to Collectekracht. More information.XaptiXapti offers an online CRM solution in which everything around the giving process can be recorded. Data from iRaiser can be linked to this. More information.Civicoop (automatic link, not real-time)Civicoop has linked to CiviCRM. CiviCRM is an open source CRM aimed at non-profits and CiviCooP has been active in the Dutch speaking CiviCRM world for quite a few years. In doing so, they are mostly in Flanders.The extension that has been developed is open source and can therefore be used by more organizations that work with CiviCRM and would like to retrieve data from iRaiser. The existence can be found here. Salesforce links (via our Salesforce link)Xebia (formerly Gcompany)Xebia as an integrator has already helped many customers establish Salesforce links and ensures that data from iRaiser is processed in your own Salesforce environment. More information.CobraCobra also works with the standard Salesforce link and helps streamline customer processes with Salesforce. More information.BluedeskBluedesk integrates data from the iRaiser platform into Salesforce via the iRaiser link. More informationOutbirds (formerly Bridgin.it)Outbirds provides a customized link between the iRaiser platform and Salesforce. More information. Customer examplesThe api can also be used in other ways, such as during events. 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. You can read more about this in this article. KNRM - Auction SiteKikz has linked to the KNRM via the api. They have a special auction site where action starters can log in with their iRaiser account (this is checked via the api if the data is correct) and auction their own items. After the auction the amount is added to the right place in the iRaiser platform via a manual donation.Erasmus MC Foundation - link to EroutesAfter starting an action for the Tour Against Cancer, action starters received an invitation from eRoutes. Based on your own chosen distance and your GPS location, the app suggests routes to run.

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.
A/B testing
Please note: This functionality does not yet work on sites with the Fuji or Everest theme (or where the Flex Editor is active)An A/B test is a form of split testing in which you can test multiple variants against each other to see which variant has the best conversion rate. The aim is to use the test to measure which suggested donation amounts yield the most and therefore increase conversion.Content articleBaselineSuggested donation amountsInformation about baselineA/B testSetup A/B testResults A/B testSee here also the explanation as given at the iRaiser Academy on 20 January 2022 BaselineSuggested donation amountsYou can A/B test on the donation flow within the Kentaplatform. Via Settings > Set donation amounts you can set different suggested donation amounts. The currently set amount is your baseline. The baseline is the basis from which you measure and compare split tests. When someone makes a donation you will see the suggested donation amounts: This can also include text to give more interpretation of what you are doing with the amount. For example: When adjusting donation amounts, at the bottom you have to indicate whether you want to keep the current baseline or create a new one. If you create a new baseline it will start measuring from that point on. You can see all its results via Settings > A/B testing. If you keep the current baseline, the adjustments are taken into account, but the baseline in terms of measurement remains intact. This is useful if, for example, you have made a typo and want to adjust it. Information about baselineIf you go to Settings >A/B testing you will always see the huige baseline at the top: You can see here:Active sinceThe moment when the chosen amounts were setChosen amountsThe chosen donation amounts. If you move over them you will also see the descriptionNumber of visitsThe number of visitors who came to the donation formNumber of DonationsThe number of times the donation has been completedConversionThe percentage of visitors who completed the donationAverage donation amountThe average amount made per donationDays activeThe number of days these donation amounts are like thisAchievementsYou can see here whether that is the baseline or a split test groupYou can click on the gear icon and then view details to see more specific information about the Donations: That's all information about the current baseline. A/B test Set testYou start an A/B test by clicking on "start A/B test". All currently set data will then be filled in automatically:In the A/B test, variants can be specified for:the amountsthe order of the amountsthe mouse-over textYou can do two types of A/B test:Test against current baselineWhere you change only Group A or Group B, testing against the current baselineTest two separate groupsWhere you change both Group A and B, testing two new groups against each other.From then on, donors randomly see the suggested amounts belonging to Group A or B. Suppose you have set these amounts:And you click save then the test starts:From then on, visitors who go to the donation form will either see the donation amounts as set at A, or from B. You'll see these randomly. You can't change the suggested donation amounts while an A/B test is running.Results testYou can abort a test yourself by going to the cog above the test and choosing 'Abort'. And otherwise it is automatically stopped when 100 Donations have been made to both groups. Because you can get a group randomly, it may be that, for example, 130 Donations have been made to one group and 100 to the other.If the test is stopped then the results will appear in the history, as for example in the case of this test that was manually aborted:Interpreting the results is also important. It may seem that one group has better results, but if there is a very high Donations in one group it distorts the picture. We recommend looking at these critically and you can choose to set one of the groups that has a better conversion rate as a new baseline via Settings > Suggested donation amounts.
Achievements
View the video explaining this functionality here. The Achievements Tracker allows campaigners to add sporting achievements to their Fundraising page. The distance covered is added up and displayed on the Fundraising page. A fundraiser can also link to a Strava account, after which new achievements are automatically added to the page!In addition, the total distance covered by all Fundraisers is added up and displayed on the homepage.Article content:AchievementsSet targetAdd Achievements (manual) StravaCreating a Strava appLink your Strava account to a Fundraising pageLink StravaUse AchievementsAchievements turn offVisibilityExcel fileTarget distance reached emailAchievements in the spotlight AchievementsA fundraiser can add Achievements by logging into the dashboard and finding the 'Achievements' tab that looks like this:Set targetIn addition to setting a target amount, a fundraiser can set a goal for their achievement. In this case, it is a certain number of kilometres. If achievements are turned on, the target distance is also (optionally) asked in the sign-up flow. You can see the new question at the bottom: Add Achievements (manually)The Add Achievements screen looks like this:First, you select a Sport. Here you can choose from Running, Hiking, Cycling, Swimming, Skating, Skeelering or Other (for all other sports). Next, you give the Achievements a title. This will appear at the top of your Fundraising page.Fill in the description of the achievement. This is optional; you can continue without filling it in.Fill in the date and time.Add your distance covered and click save.You can see that the fundraiser has been added, and the mileage has been updated. At 'source', there is an iRaiser icon indicating that it was added via the platform. On the front end of the Fundraising page, it looks like this:Here, 'Rondje Veluwezoom' is the Title, and the text below it is the Description. On the homepage, the number of kilometres travelled over the entire platform has been added under the donation counter:StravaYou can also choose to link to Strava. Strava is an app that many athletes use to track their Achievements. To avoid having to enter sports Achievements in two places, we have linked to Strava.Any activity added on Strava is forwarded to the participant's Fundraising page and filed away under the correct sport.Before you can make use of this, a Strava app has to be created (once) for the platform: Creating a Strava app To connect Strava to your platform, a general link to the Strava app must be created. This can be your personal account and is purely used to establish the technical link with the platform. Nothing else happens to your information or account. The easiest way is to create a new Strava account is with a general company email address. You only need this to establish the link. No other emails will be sent to the email address (you can uncheck email updates in the sign-up process). Once that app is installed properly, fundraisers can link to their own Strava account via the platform.Below is a step-by-step guide to doing this.1. Create an account at www.strava.com (this is a personal account)2. Go (once logged in) to https://www.strava.com/settings/apiFill in the following:Name of applicationHere, you fill in the desired name of the app, usually the name of the site or of your foundationCategorySelect 'Charitable organisation'ClubThis can be left blankWebsiteFill in the URL of the website here (starting with https://)Description of applicationHere, you can describe the application of the appAuthorisation of callback domainFill in oauth.kentaa.nl hereClick agree and create to continue3. Next, upload your app icon4. Then send the Client ID and Client secret to iRaiser support (you can create a new ticket for that). If we then add these to your platform, the connection is ready. Make sure you don't send a screenshot, but copy the ID and secret. Otherwise it's hard to take this over manually.5. Increase number of athletes in appFor new apps, Strava puts a restriction on the number of athletes allowed to connect. They are by default set on 1, which practically means that only one fundraiser can connect to Strava. You need to make sure that this number is increased to 999. To increase this, they have a contact form that you can fill out. Click here for an example of how to fill out this form and here for a sample screenshot you can attach. After filling it out, Strava support will check the application. They do not provide feedback that it has been accepted, so in this case it is a matter of logging in and checking for yourself if the limit has been upped to 999. 6. Periodic reviewsStrava may periodically review apps. In such a case, they email to the email address used to create the app. It is then important to do that check, otherwise they may disable/add restrictions to the app at some point. Linking your personal Strava account to a Fundraising pageNow that the Strava app is linked to the platform, a Strava icon will appear: Click connect and give the app permission. Then, newly added achievements within Strava will automatically appear on the Fundraising page (this can take up to 10 minutes). Below is an example of an achievement added via the link (also note the Strava icon):On the front end of the Fundraising page, it looks like this:The Achievement above (25.23 km) was manually entered into Strava; therefore, no map is displayed. If a route map is available, then you will see a map of this with the Achievements. An example of this:Photos taken during the recording of the Achievements in Strava will also be included. For example, see this hike:Disconnect StravaThe owner of the Fundraiser page has the option to unlink Strava. This can be done from their Strava account and the Fundraiser dashboard within iRaiser. To do so, on the Achievements tab, click on the Strava disconnect cross (bottom right of the screenshot):A site administrator cannot undo individual Strava links (unless it owns the Fundraiser page). However, a site administrator can choose to turn off Achievements at a level (e.g. for a Campaign). If that happens, all Achievements will be deleted, and links to Strava will be broken. To do this, see Turn off Achievements. Use AchievementsYou can specify per level whether you want to use Achievements. You can turn it on or off at the Website level and per Sub site or Campaign. You can also specify whether you want to see the number of kilometres travelled on the counter. You can set this at Sub site or Website level via Settings > Achievements.Turn off AchievementsIf no Achievements have been added under a Campaign, then you can turn Achievements on or off with no consequences. If Achievements have already been added, when you turn them off (by unchecking that Achievements may be used), you will get a notification indicating how many Strava links and achievements will be removed.Turning off Achievements can be useful for resetting mileage back to zero, for example, in a challenge that lasts a month and has a certain start date. However, in such a case, it is important to inform the fundraisers. Their previous Achievements and target mileage will be removed, so they need to reconnect with Strava.VisibilityIf you turn off the 'Show the number of kilometres travelled on the page' button, no total kilometres will be shown with the donation counter. This can be useful if you don't want to show the final result of the challenge yet, or if the total number of kilometres is irrelevant at that location. You can only set this at Website and Sub site level. Excel fileIf you create an export of all Fundraiser pages and use the performance tracker, the export will have four related columns. The columns are Target Distance, Distance Traveled (km), Distance Traveled (%) and Achievements Source. Distance travelled (%) shows the percentage to which the target distance was achieved. At Achievements Source you can see in what way(s) achievements have been added.Target distance reached emailIf you have achieved the target distance, an automatic email will be sent (provided it is on). This looks as follows:You can customise the mail as you wish via Emails > Email overview > Fundraisers > Performance goal of the fundraiser has been reached. Achievements in the spotlightFundraisers can only find Achievements when they log in to their personal dashboard. It is not shown during the creation of a Fundraising page, so it is important to bring it to their attention. Below are several ways you could do this:News releaseIf several Fundraising pages have already been created and you want to reach out to the fundraisers, you can do this through a news release. You can create and publish a news release and you can choose to share the message with the existing fundraisers. That way, you can make them aware of the new functionality!Menu page explaining AchievementsYou can also create a Menu page explaining how Achievements work and how you use the functionality. You could also refer to this in the automatic emails or in a news item. Do you get questions from fundraisers about Achievements? Then include these in a frequently asked questions block!Automatic email The best way to make new fundraisers aware of the Achievements is via an email that every fundraiser receives. In it, point them to the possibilities of adding Achievements. You can choose to include Achievements in the email sent to fundraisers after they create their page, but also, for example, the email sent three days after creating a fundraising page. Would you like an example text for an automatic mail or Menu page? Then click here for a PDF file with texts and screenshots you could use! You can also create a news item based on this. We can turn on Achievements directly for all our generic templates. If you would like to have this feature turned on, please create a new support ticket and we will enable the functionality. If you also send us the Client ID and Client Secret, we can link to Strava directly.
Donations
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. Article content:OptionsDonations searchPeriodColumnsDownloadInformationManagement optionsManageMoveAnonymiseRemoveOptionsDonations searchIn 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.PeriodYou 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. ColumnsThere 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. DownloadYou 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. InformationClicking 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 optionsIf you click on the three dots you will see the options you have with a donation. These are Manage, Move, Anonymise and DeleteManageBy 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.MoveIt 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.AnonymiseThis 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.RemoveYou can only delete donations made with a test checkout. You can delete them via this option. Real donations are always saved.
Disable creation of fundraising pages
You can specify per level (website/Sub site/Campaigns)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:
Match funding
Match funding is a tool that can be used in both crowdfunding and peer-to-peer fundraising. It allows Companies and Funds to support Fundraisers and campaigns on the iRaiser platform.Content articleGeneralUseType Match fundingStart donationMultiply DonationOutputExcelGeneralTwo forms of Match funding are supported within the iRaiser framework:1. Starter donation2. Multiply DonationsWith 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 sponsoringColour 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 funding1. Start donationWith 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 here2. Multiply DonationsThis 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: OutputA 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.ExcelThe 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. Interested in this functionality on your platform?
