GDPR changes

There are several places where you can enter a target amount. You can set this specifically per level (Website, Sub site, Campaign, Fundraiser, Team). You can set these via Settings >Target amounts. We distinguish between a:Default amountThis amount is shown by default as the target amount when creating a campaign, company, team or fundraiser. But can be changed afterwardsMinimum amountWhen creating a campaign, company, team or fundraiser, you can adjust the target amount, but it cannot be set lower than this amountYou can set this at the website level and for campaigns, companies, teams and fundraisers.WebsiteUnder website, you can set the target amount for the entire site. This will then appear on the homepage with a retrieved percentage. You can also leave the target amount empty. Then no target amount will appear in the counter status. You will also not see a collected percentage.An example of a set target amount of €200000 on the homepage CampaignsThis is where you set the default target amount for campaigns. This is mainly used when site users can create their own campaigns. You can then also set a minimum amount to be entered there. Alternatively, you can leave the target amount blank.CompaniesHere you set the default target amount that companies enter when creating a company. You can leave the target amount blank, but teams must always enter a target amount themselves (it cannot be left blank)TeamsHere you set the default target amount that Teams specify when creating a company. You can leave the target amount blank, but teams must always enter a target amount themselves (it cannot be left blank)FundraisersHere you set the default target amount that Teams specify when creating a company. You can leave the target amount blank, but teams must always enter a target amount themselves (it cannot be left blank) Target amounts based on number of participationsIf you use editions, you can choose to let people who have participated before raise a lower target amount a second time. Depending on the number chosen, the suggested target amount may vary.Example: If you participate for the first time, the minimum target amount is €300. If you participate in this event for the second time or more, the minimum target amount is €250.You can set this at the level where people can subscribe, under Settings > Target amounts. There you can choose a target amount, depending on the number of entries. This way, you can allow participants who have already collected a very high amount once to collect a lower minimum amount the next time. In practice, you often see that they still raise a good amount, while the threshold to participate again and ask for an amount is lower. 

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.

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 can create a team themselves by logging in to the fundraiser page. And then clicking on create team.Adding an existing participant/fundraiser holder to an already existing 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). 

One of the most important pages within the platform is the donation page. In the donation form, the donor can decide how much to donate, or choose one of the suggested donation amounts. By default, these amounts are set at €15, €25, €50 and €100.Suggested donation amounts adjustableIn the Dashboard, these amounts are customisable via Settings/ Set donation amounts, allowing you to experiment with the right amounts based on average donation amounts or linked to impact.Show text at donation amountAn explanation or encouragement can be added to each suggested donation amount. This explanation appears when the donor hovers over the amount. You can use this explanation to make the proposed donation amount concrete or as an encouragement, for example:Donation form in registration flow (self-donation)Not only on the donation form are donation amounts customisable. The sign-up flow also includes a donation form. Of course, these amounts are also adjustable, and it is possible to display a text with each amount.

It is only possible to make one-off Donations in this product. However, you may have another place where you can receive periodic Donations. In that case, you can add a link (in the place where you want to add this) via Settings > Recurring donations. You can set the following here: The URL that people are directed to in order to structurally Donate on. The title and content to go with itIf you want the link to be off temporarily but keep the content, you can click 'Yes, I want to ask the donor to become a structural donor'After making a Donations, you first come to the Thank You screen, where you can leave a message with the donation. Then you come to a screen where you can share your donation with your friends. Clicking on 'Become a recurring donor' will take you to the screen where you are asked if you want to become a structural donor:Our product iRaiser Forms does support recurring payments. Interested? Then click here for more information. 

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.

Within the platform, there are various options for viewing statistics. For example, you can export Donations, Fundraisers, Teams, Campaigns and Sub sites, as well as view Monthly reports. We also have ready-made overviews of relevant overall statistics and more on this in this support article.FiguresThe key figures can be found at the website level under Analytics > Download statistics. Here you can select a certain period for which you want to see the key figures and then click 'Create Excel file'. This will give you an Overview of the relevant key figures (the content may vary based on the content of your platform). These key figures can be useful to analyse the data on the platform and make adjustments if necessary.Specifically, you will see key figures in the following categoriesën (if present on the platform):PaymentsDonorsDonations by deviceDonations by payment method Average donation amountNumber of donationsPay Later Actions (including closed and invisible)TeamsProjectsSegmentsTransactionsAnalyticsAt each level you will see Analytics. These are graphically displayed statistics on the following components:Number of DonationsAverage donatedNumber of FundraisersSmile of participantsAnd if used on the platform:Selected ActivitiesSelected Registration feesReturning participantsYou can select a period you want to see the Analytics from at the top and you can optionally choose to download the statistics as a pdf.If you hover over the Analytics itself, you will see more information about it. Under 'Number of Donations', for example, you can see how many donations have been made. Statistics from underlying levelsBy default, statistics from underlying levels are turned on. This means that all statistics are shown. If you turn this off then you only get the statistics of that level. Concretely, for example, this looks like this:You are at the website level and also have Campaigns. If you don't choose to show statistics from underlying levels then you will only see statistics done at the website level. For example, general Donations. You won't see a donation made on a Campaign then.StatisticsOn each level you will also see general statistics:For example, you can immediately see the average donation amount, how many Donations there are and the amount raised. These statistics appear at every level. For example, for a Campaign specifically, you can immediately see all relevant information. In addition, action starters, for example, also see relevant statistics for them.Also here you see that toggle 'Also show statistics of underlying levels' and it works in the same way. With this, you differentiate between all statistics, and statistics that are directly below that level (which you are currently on). Statistics with this icon are clickable. This shows you graphs that are also clickable.   

The retention functionality involves asking the action starter/participant how many times he or she has participated before. Based on this, you can set a different target amount, send other emails based on the number of participations and add a badge on the campaign page. This is particularly useful for events organised annually, for example.Content of articleSet EditionsDefault target amount depending on number of participationsWelcome email - Welcome back!Badges - Make it visible to everyone Set EditionsVia Settings > Editions you can set the edition for each level (website, Sub site, Campaigns). You first set the edition:Here is no erving. If you set the 7th Edition at the website level, this will not be transferred to an underlying Campaign. So there you still have to set it manually.After setting this, an additional mandatory question will appear in the Sign up flow:Then, based on the given number of previous participations, other functions can be triggered:Default target amount depending on number of participationsDepending on the number chosen, the proposed target amount may varyëren.Example: If you join for the first time, the minimum target amount is €300. If you are participating in this event for the second time or more, the minimum target amount is €250.This can be set at the level where people can register, under Settings > Target amounts. There you can choose a target amount depending on the number of entries. This way, you can allow participants who have already raised a very high amount once to raise a lower minimum amount next time. In practice, you then often see that they still raise a nice amount, while the threshold to participate again and ask for an amount is lower. Welcome email - Welcome back!A different welcome e-mail can be sent based on the number of participants. This allows you to address the participant with a different tone if he has participated before or if he has participated in all Editions. Badges - Make it visible to everyoneIn the media (image/video) on the Fundraising page, you can display a badge for x participations. So you can overlay an image over the media, for example a crown or medal. This makes it visible to everyone on the site that someone has already participated several times! See also the support article Badges for some examples.Would you like to use the retention functionality? Just contact us, and we'll be happy to turn it on for you and then you can set the Editions for each level yourself. 

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? Then contact us.

When you click 'Donate', you will be given the choice of who you want to donate to. Depending on how your website is structured, you may be given the following options:Donate to:PersonTeamCampaignSub site (one level above Campaign)Sub siteGeneral Donations (website level)In some cases, it may not be desirable for people to be able to Donate directly to a Campaign or Sub site. And sometimes a general donation is also undesirable. For this reason, this option can be turned off. On Fundraisers and Teams by the way, donations can always be made.You can also donate to a company, but this option is not in the selection screen. To do so, you have to go to the company page first and then click Donate.Turn off donation optionTo turn off the Donations option aa a project page, segment page or general Donations, first go to that level within the dashboard. General Donation hangs under website level, so there you can go directly to Settings > Donate. If you want to turn off the option to donate on a specific Campaign page or Sub site, you first have to manage that Campaign or Sub site and then go to Settings > Donate. You will then see the following:If you uncheck the box then it is still possible to Donate on Campaign and Team pages under that Campaign/segment/general donation. However, you will then no longer be able to Donate on that page itself. So if you set this at the website level, you will no longer be able to make a general donation.If you leave the checkmark on, it is again possible to donate on that page.
