e-Ticketing

Last modified: 21-08-2025

e-Ticketing is a premium functionality that we can turn on upon request. For fundraisers and participants, you can generate tickets and have them automatically mailed to you. The tickets have a QR code and you can eventually scan it via your mobile, webcam or manually.

Features

  • You can set tickets per level, separately
  • Once tickets are shared, fundraisers can also find them in their dashboard under "my registration".
  • If you add multiple participants under the same email address, you will get in multiple tickets (Currently in multiple emails, but we will change that to an email with multiple PDFs)
  • You can choose to generate the tickets already, but not share them yet (and do so at a later date)

 

Setting up e-tickets

You can set up e-tickets by level. You can choose to do this at website level (for registrations that go directly below website level), for a specific sub site (for registrations that go directly at that level) or for registrations under a campaign. You do this by going to Settings > E-tickets. Here you have two options:

 

E-tickets use directly below this page.

If you use these then e-tickets will be generated. You will then only see the e-tickets via E-tickets > Overview. Nothing else happens and fundraisers don't see the tickets yet either. You cannot download pdf files yet, but you can already see the ticket numbers.

Share e-tickets with buyer

Only the moment you click "Share e-tickets with buyer." then fundraisers can see their tickets in the dashboard (example ticket). Existing fundraisers or participants at that level will immediately be sent the mail under Fundraisers > Send e-tickets. New participants, when creating an fundraiser, get their ticket sent directly. That mail looks like this by default, but you can customise it.

This screenshot was taken in the fourth template. To ensure that the logo is always visible, this template chose to always include a white frame for the logo. Otherwise, you might get the situation where the logo is all green and then disappears into the green background.

 

Scanning of tickets

You can scan e-tickets manually or via a camera. On the main level, if you go to E-tickets > Overview (manual) or to E-tickets > Scan. Then you will see all tickets from the entire site (including all underlying sub sites and campaigns), and you can scan them all as well. You can also go specifically to, say, a campaign and there you can only scan tickets that fall under that campaign.

Who can scan?

Site administrators
Can set up e-tickets, go to the overview and scan (and create exports). If, as a site administrator, you start scanning at the highest level, you also scan immediately for all underlying campaigns. You can think of it as a kind of 'super scanner'

Sub site managers
Can go to the overview and scan (and create exports)

Campaign managers
Can go to the overview and scan (and create exports)

Scanner (see next heading)
Scanners can only scan tickets for the entities (website level, sub site, campaign) to which they have been added.

 

Scanner

As a regular scanner, you can also be added at the website level. However, then you can only scan that level, not, for example, underlying sub sites or campaigns (unless you are specifically added to those as well).

 

Add scanner

You can add a scanner per level. This is linked to a user. You can have a user who can only scan. This will then not appear in the dashboard at all, but directly in a scan menu. Handy if you have some volunteers to help with scanning at an event, for instance!

You can add a scanner by going to E-tickets > Scanners

You add someone by creating an account here. If someone is not yet known, a new user is created and receives two e-mails: one to set their password and one to indicate that they have been added as a scanner.

Mails

The mail a scanner receives looks like this:

You can customise it via E-mails > Overview Mails > Scanners > Welcome mail scanner:

You will see this mail only if e-tickets are used at that level!

You can also add someone who is already a user in the system as a scanner of a particular campaign (or sub site or website level). For example, an fundraiser who wants to help with scanning. You will then see this message:

After saving, this fundraiser can then also scan tickets for that level. If someone who starts an fundraiser is also a scanner and logs in to the dashboard, he will enter the dashboard of his fundraiser. He can then go to scanning by clicking on this icon:

 


There are two ways to actually scan: manually and via a camera


Manual scanning

If you go to the overview of tickets via E-tickets > Overview, you can manually set people as present there. You do this by clicking on the three dots behind the fundraiser/participant and marking them as present.

Each ticket comes with a Ticket Number. You can also search by that in the search field.

Should there be internet problems, you can also work with an offline variant by making a download of all tickets in advance. This will then state:
Created on || E-ticket number || Name || Title || Scanned on || Scanned by

You can then manually search and tick off ticket numbers.


Scanning via camera

If you go to E-tickets > Scan, it will automatically try to connect to your webcam (computer) or your camera (mobile). After you give that permission, you can scan the QR code. If you scan a code that is invalid you will get a red notification.

The window for scanning looks like this: (with a scanner landing directly in here and thus not landing in a dashboard first)

Here, you can select a camera and then scan a ticket. This could be a camera from your mobile, for example, or a webcam if you work on your PC.A scanner can also manually enter a code

 

You hold the QR code in front of the webcamAfter a successful scan, you will immediately see the info (at the bottom you will see additional questions, activities, any webshop items and contact details)

 

For an invalid QR code (with a wrong link), you will see this:If a ticket has already been scanned, it looks like this:

Question iconFrequently asked questions

What happens to the e-ticket if I move an fundraiser?

After moving fundraisers to another campaign, a new e-ticket is created (if e-ticketing is enabled at that site) and the current one deleted. It is then the site administrator's job to email the fundraiser with the new ticket.

I accidentally put someone on present, but it's not correct. What now?

You can also sign out someone initially attending again via E-tickets > Overview via three dots > Marked as Present. The e-ticket is then available to scan again.

Are tickets also sent to fundraisers set to invisible?

Yes, tickets are also sent to fundraisers that are set to invisible. That's something to take into account before sending the mail, though. If you have campaigns then you could create a campaign with unsubscribed participants and move the invisible fundraisers there.

Does a scanner get a new mail for every campaign it is added to?

Yes, a scanner gets a new mail every time it is added to a campaign. Unless that mail is currently off.

If you can scan at multiple levels as a scanner, is it differentiated when scanning?

No, as a scanner you can scan all tickets from campaigns (or website level/sub sites) you have been added to. If you have two events, for example Event x on 12 August and Event y on 13 August, and you want to start scanning on 12 August, make sure you are not yet added as a scanner on 13 August and only do that on the day itself. Otherwise, in theory, you could already be scanning tickets from another day. Though that will rarely, if ever, happen.

Can you add a scanner for all campaigns?

You then really need to add those individually for each campaign. A site administrator can scan everything, though.

If we request additional profile information, do we also have to fill it in when creating a scanner?

Yes, a scanner is a user. It has the same profile information as all users who have fundraisers.

Why don't I see the mail sent to a scanner listed?

You will see the mail only if there are e-tickets at that level. If those haven't been created yet, you won't see the category scanner among the mails either.

Can you see if a user has scanning rights?

At the moment, you cannot yet see this via Accounts > Users > i's. We may still add this. You can only see it if you go to, for example, a campaign and there go to E-tickets > Scanners.

Fundraising page optional

It may happen that people want to register, for example for an event, but do not want to create a separate Fundraising page for this purpose. In such a case, you can set the sponsor page to be optional. You set this up by going to the level where you want to set this up and then going to Settings > Fundraising page optional and choosing to make Fundraising page optional there. In the Sign up flow, the step where you create the Fundraising page will have a slider:If you create the action page, the slider will appear at the step where you create the action page.If you then click this slider you can continue without creating a Fundraising page:After completing the registration, the participant will receive the 'Welcome email after signing up participant'. If he/she has joined a team then he/she will receive the 'Welcome email after joining team'. If E-tickets are used then the participant will also receive the e-tickets. A participant will appear as 'registration' in the action overview after completing the registration:A participant can still create a sponsorship page if desired, by going to 'My Registration' and clicking on 'Create a sponsorship page'.On the platform, you can see the participants by going to the Overview of Participants. That defaults to /participants.

Coupons

Settings ⟶ Coupons
Sometimes you have that special sponsor, ten employees of a particular organisation or someone who also committed last year, who deserves a discount on their registration. Coupons have been created for this purpose. With this feature, it is possible to create one or more discount code(s) that allow one to pay less registration fee.

Click Add Coupons add
Fill in a descriptionOn the left at 'Discount' you can set the type of code and the discount 
Select One-time code or Reusable code

A One-time code is a code that is used only ééonce. Choose this one if you want to use several codes s. For example, when handing out codes in person at an event.
A Reusable code is a generic code, which can be used several times. This code is generated and can then be used a set number of times (or infinitely).

Select the type of discount

With Percentage (%) a certain discount percentage is given on the Registration fee.
At Fixed amount (€), a fixed discount is given on the registration fee. However, this can never be lower than 0.On the right-hand side you can now set how you wish the code to be generated

Choose Generate automatically or Define the text  yourself

In the case of Generate automatically the text of the coupon code is randomly determined
In the case ofDetermine text you can specify your own text of the discount code (at the bottom). This can be useful, for example, if you use the discount code for promotional purposes. You can only use the capital letters A-Z, 0-9 and dashes, and no spaces, when entering your own Coupons.

Fill in the number of codes (max 500 per batch in the case of a One-off code)
You can then choose to attach an End date and Time to the code. If you don't want to specify an end date, you can leave this field blank.

As soon as an action starter has used a Once usable discount code it is crossed out (under the blue eye). The exact time when the coupon code was used and by which action starter is indicated. You can also use the button View to see which campaign starter it concerns. The code cannot be used after this.
In case a Reusable code is used, the eyelet shows when and by whom this code was used. AnExcel file of this is also available for download.
In the Donations Overview (under menu item Donations), it is indicated whether a coupon code has been used by the following icon: 
In the Donations export, the column Discount shows how much discount the action starter received on the Registration fee. The column Coupon shows the code used.
On the My Entry page that each action starter has, it also states whether a Coupons was used and what effect it had on the entry. 

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. Changing default fundraiser settingsChange fundraiser pictureClick on Upload fundraiser photoSelect the location of the photoIf an activist has not uploaded a photo then this photo will be shown by defaultChange default fundraiser titleEnter the fundraiser title you want to usePress saveThis title appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Change default fundraiser descriptionEnter the description you want to usePress saveThis description appears prefilled in the login flow and can still be modified by the user.Settings ⟶ Default team settingsChanging default team settingsTexts can also already be entered before creating a team. 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!

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.

Registration fee

When registering a participant/fundraiser, it is possible to charge a registration fee, so registering for the event and creating the personal fundraising page is one integrated process. The registration fee must always be paid when creating an fundraiser, regardless of whether you sign up as a member of a team or as an individual participant. Registration fees can be added at multiple levels and 'inherit down'. When registration fees are added at the website level, any sub sites and campaigns receive this same registration fee. It is then possible to override the registration fee if there is a different value at the relevant level. It is possible to add multiple registration fee options (with different amounts).Participants can decide how they want to be registered. This can be useful, for example, for:Different distances with different starting rates;Age groups where children pay a reduced rate;In addition to the regular registration rate, offer a 2nd rate where a T-shirt of the event is offered.Content:Add registration feeChange registration feeView chosen registration feeAdd registration feeSettings ⟶ registration feeThe Add registration fee button allows you to add the option(s), asking for a title and amount. Next to this, it asks whether the paid registration fee should be included in the counter position on the website. Usually, the registration fee is meant to cover expenses and is not included (as donation money) in the counter position, but this can of course vary.Change registration feeSettings ⟶ Registration feeBy clicking the Edit button, it is possible to edit the title and amount of the option. This can be useful when offering an early bird option, where the amount is increased over time.View chosen registration fee- The campaigner himself and the site administrator can see what registration fee the campaigner has paid by managing the campaign under My Entry. In addition, the registration fee choice can be viewed in the participants' exports.- On the fundraising page, the chosen registration fee is always displayed. This is a fixed element of the page and cannot be hidden. - Registration fees are reflected in the Excel export of all fundraisers and donations.

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.

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. 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 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.

Disable creation of fundraising pages

You can specify per level (website/Sub site/Campaigns)whether Fundraisers may be started.

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. Article content:Company packagesSpecific Number of EntriesCompany determines number of registrationsAdd company package to Sign up flowSign up flow companyMail after registrationManually create a companySign up flow actionsWorkflow in combination with activity moduleDashboardCompanies and Fundraisers See the video explaining how it works here:00:00 - Welcome00:27 - Start with the company's feature01:06 - Create a company package02:45 - Setup sign up flow for the use of companies03:08 - Walking through the sign up flow for companies05:30 - Add additional team members05:57 - Manually adding a company  Company packagesThe Sign up flow for companies works on the basis of ééone or more Company packages. 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.

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.

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.

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.
