e-Ticketing
Senast ändrad: 23-08-2024e-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.

See also here the explanation as given at the Kentaa Academy on 14 April 2022
And the video about the update on 12 August (adding scanners):
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 webcam | After 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: |
Vanliga frågor
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.
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.
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.
Yes, a scanner gets a new mail every time it is added to a campaign. Unless that mail is currently off.
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.
You then really need to add those individually for each campaign. A site administrator can scan everything, though.
Yes, a scanner is a user. It has the same profile information as all users who have fundraisers.
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.
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.

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

A company package can be a specific number of registration certificates, or it can be a number specified by the company itself. Items can be added to a package as desired, such as promotional items, t-shirts etc. For example, you can create a bronze, silver and gold package. In order to use the Sign up flow for companies, at least ééone company package has to be created. You go to the place in the platform where you want to add it (e.g. directly under the website, or at a certain Campaign) and go to Settings > Company packages. Then click on Add Company packages and you will come to this screen: You have two choices:Specific number of entriesCompany determines number of entriesSpecific number of tendersWith this choice, the content of the package is fixed. For example, a company package where you purchase 10 places. Here you enter the following:Title of the packageDescription of the contents of the packageNumber of registration placesTotal amount for the package (this amount can also be 0 euro)Company determines number of subscription spacesHere the price per spot is fixed, but the company decides how many spots they want to reserve and settle.You fill in the following per company package:Title of the packageDescription of the contents of the packageAmount to be paid per registration (this amount can also be 0 euro)Add company package to Sign up flowAfter the company package has been created, it is important to add the possibility of company registration to the sign up flow. You do this by going to Settings > Sign up flow (where you want to add this). You can then choose from these options here: Sign up flow companySign up flow looks like this:1. The 'How do you commit' drop-down screen has added the option to sign up as a company2. In the next step, choose a package. If it is a package where there is only an amount per subscription, you also need to enter the number here3. In the step after that, fill in all the company details4. Here you fill in the details of the contact person. This person will also be the manager of the company page5. Next, you create the company page. You upload a logo and fill in the title and motivation and target amount6. Additional questions (optional)You will only see this page if additional questions have been added at company level. Do you want these added? Please contact us at support@kentaa.nl. 7.On the summary page, check all the details entered and then go to the payment screen Mail-after-subscriptionAfter registration you will be sent an email: In that mail is a link that allows someone to sign up directly. One shares this link with colleagues who want to participate and then they can create an action fundraising page right away! This link can also be found in the admin dashboard.Manually create a companyYou can also add Companies manually from the dashboard. You do this by going to where you can add the company (e.g. on a particular Campaign). Then click Companies and then Add. If you don't see this option, please contact support@kentaa.nl. If so, the functionality still needs to be turned on.Next, fill in all the fields you would normally have had to fill in as well. The fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. After filling in and saving, the company is created. No emails are sent when creating the company via the dashboard.Sign up flow actions.The sign up flow for someone creating an action page with such a link looks like this:1. Start sign up flow. Here you can see what you are going to sign up for 2. We're curious to know who you are. This is where you create your profile3. Your personal page. Here you fill in your title and motivation and how much money you want to raise4. Overview page where you can check the data entered. As payment has already been made you can go straight to round up Now a colleague's Fundraising page has been created. A visitor can Donate to that Fundraising page or to the company.Working method in combination with activity moduleWhen the activity module is also used, the company's Sign up flow requests the desired activity. This activity is then applicable to all members within the team. DashboardA new menu item called Companies has been added to the dashboard. All registered companies are listed here. If you click on the 'i' you will see the company's details. Here you will also see the link where people can register. You can also download an Excel file from Overview. Here you can see an example of the output of this. Companies and Fundraisers.An action starter who has signed up through a link (I'll just call these 'Companies Fundraisers' below) can be seen as a regular action (i.e. not created under a company), but there are still a few differences. Here's a summary:You cannot move regular action starters to a Company. Conversely, you cannot move Company Campaigns to (for example) a Campaign. Company actions appear in the Overview of all action starters and also in the export (and api) of all action starters. You will then see some additional columns reflected in the Excel file. See here an example. Do you want to use this functionality? Then get in touch with us! If you have a customised design, the functionality needs to be built in here first.
Fundraisers
You can register as an individual through the sign-up flow and then you will have a separate fundraising page. You can add news items here and edit your fundraising page.You may also register as a team member. For that, you also create an fundraiser, but then the fundraiser is linked to the team and the revenues count for the team.Watch the video on managing fundraisers here, or read more about specific sections below.00:00 - Welcome00:27 - Download overview fundraisers01:40 - Adjust a page02:33 - Adjust my subscription03:14 - Manually adding a fundraise page04:58 - Change the owner of a page06:30 - Move fundraiser07:29 - Other optionsArticle contentFeatures fundraisersManagement of fundraisersMoving fundraisersManually adding fundraisersEmails to fundraisers Feature fundraisersAn fundraiser always has one ownerAn fundraiser is always linked to a user, which is the owner of the fundraiser.

Management of fundraisersWhen an fundraiser logs in, he/she enters the dashboard directly to edit his/her fundraising page. If the fundraiser has multiple fundraisers, there is a drop-down menu in front of it to choose which fundraiser he/she wants to edit. As site administrator, you can edit an fundraiser by looking it up in the fundraiser overview. You then click on the pencil icon to enter the fundraiser management. There you have the following options:My pageMotivationChange fundraiser name, fundraiser title, description, fundraiser url and number of participations (only an administrator can change the number of participations)Photos and videosAdd photos and videos to be placed on the fundraising pageSponsor logosAdd sponsor logos that will appear with the fundraiser BlogHere, an fundraiser can post his or her own Blog about his or her fundraiser.

A closed fundraiser can be reopened (provided it is currently possible to start an fundraiser at that level) by the fundraiser or site administrator. Once an fundraiser is closed, it can no longer be donated to.

Otherwise, click on Add account.You will then first create a new account, to which the fundraiser will be linkedYou then fill in the fundraiser details and the fundraiser is created.If an fundraiser is created via the dashboard, no e-mails are sent. You can still send a welcome e-mail yourself from the fundraiser overview by clicking on the three dots > Send welcome e-mail again. Also, no mail to set your password is sent to accounts created via the dashboard. You can send those manually via Accounts > Users > Send password. Or can be requested at the frontend via Forgot password. Emails to fundraisersThe following mails are linked to fundraisers:Welcome e-mail after creating fundraiserYou can set this based on the number of previous participations. You can also send this e-mail later by clicking on the three dots > Send welcome e-mail again from the fundraiser overview.Welcome e-mail after joining the teamThis is sent when you register as a team member.

They will then receive news of this.Performance goal of the fundraiser has been achievedThis mail is linked to the performance tracker. If this goal is achieved in its entirety, this mail goes off.
Default action and team settings

Creativity 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.

Cap on number of team members
If 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 settings
If 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 himself
You 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).

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 participations
Able to set target amounts for action starters based on number of participations
The aim is to make participants feel welcome and encourage them to participate more often. For a complete description, read the article on retention functionality.
You can upload an image per participation. We have created four designs for you, see the downloads below. But you can also choose to design your own badges. This image has specific requirements: it must be a png image with transparency, the image must be 745x419 Pixels in size. So a landscape image. The badge is being placed over the existing image, so make sure the badge is not too large and is in one of the corners.
You can only add retention badges if an edition is set. Please contact us for this.
Download below your set of badges for returning participants.
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.

Achievements
A fundraiser can add Achievements by logging into the dashboard and finding the 'Achievements' tab that looks like this:
Set target
In 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:
Strava
You 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 foundation
CategorySelect 'Charitable organisation'
ClubThis can be left blank
WebsiteFill in the URL of the website here (starting with https://)
Description of applicationHere, you can describe the application of the app
Authorisation of callback domainFill in oauth.kentaa.nl hereClick agree and create to continue
3. Next, upload your app icon
4. 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 page
Now 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 Strava
The 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 Achievements
You 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 Achievements
If 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.
Visibility
If 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 file
If 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 email
If 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 spotlight
Fundraisers 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.
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.
Maximum fundraising pages
You can limit the number of fundraisers that can be created via Settings > Maximum fundraising pages. You can set this per level (website level, sub site level, campaign level).
If you then want to create an fundraisers and move over the button, you will see how many spots are still available.
The moment there are no more spots, you cannot click the button and it will be greyed out:
Note: This setting does not go together with activities. This is because you can also set a limit on activities. In case you want to set activities and there is already a maximum number of fundraising pages set, you get the message "The limit on the maximum number of fundraising pages is cleared.". After that, you won't see the menu item max number of fundraising pages until the activities are turned off at that level. If you work with activities and you want to set a maximum number of fundraising pages across all your activities (otherwise you could set it per activity), it's best to keep track of this manually and block fundraisers triggering at some point.
Sign up flow
To start an fundraiser, you need to go through the sign up flow. Below is more information on how this works and you can set it up yourself.

Options at Settings > Sign up flow
Settings > Sign up flow takes you to the page to edit your sign up flow. Here you can see a number of settings.
View sign up flow
You 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 options
Here you can choose which way people can register. You have the following options:
Individual + team + team member
Individual only
Team + team member
Individual + team + team member + company
Individual + company
You 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 flow
You 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 side
You 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 matters
There 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 campaign
Sub 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 fundraiser
Selection screen campaigns" For which campaign would you like to take fundraiser? Here you choose for which campaign you want to start an fundraiser
Sign up flow steps
The 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.
Basic
The following steps belong to the basics of the sign up flow
Sign 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)
Postcode
Location
Country
Gender
Phone number (an additional opt-in will automatically be added here in accordance with telecoms legislation)
Team page
If 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: individual
You 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 donation
By 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 page
Here 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 page
When 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.
Supplementary
Entry fee
You 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.
Activities
The 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 events
If 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 fundraiser
There 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 target
If 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 questions
We 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).
Webshop
In 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 codes
You 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 code
And if the code is correct, the discount code will be applied to the registration fee.
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:
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.

Add registration fee
Settings ⟶ registration fee
The 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 fee
Settings ⟶ Registration fee
By 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.
