Wix Donations makes it easy for site visitors to donate to your cause. Create multiple donation campaigns and customize each one to suit your goals.

For example, if you run a local animal shelter and need funds for veterinary care, you can set up specific campaigns for different needs, allowing supporters to contribute.

Before you begin:

To accept donations on your site, you need to upgrade your site to a plan that supports payments and connect a payment provider.
To accept recurring payments from donors, set up a payment method that supports recurring payments.

Step 1 | Add Wix Donations

To get started, head over to the App Market to add the Wix Donation app.

Wix Editor

Studio Editor

Go to your editor.
Click Add Apps on the left side of the editor.
Search for the Wix Donations app in the search bar.
Click Add to Site.

What's next?

A blank donation form is added to the page you were on while adding the app. A Thank You page is also automatically added to your site. If needed, you can always add more forms for different causes (see Step 6 in this article).

Step 2 | Create a donation campaign

For each type of donation you want to request, you can create a separate campaign. For example, if you run an animal shelter, you can create a campaign for dogs and a separate one for cats. You can choose whether each one has the same donation frequency, suggested amounts, and so on.

To create a campaign:

Go to Wix Donations in your site's dashboard.
Click Create Campaign.
Enter a Campaign name.
Tip: This name appears on the Checkout Page and in your donor's email confirmation.
(Optional) Add a campaign image:
Tip: The image appears next to the campaign name in the checkout.
1. Click the icon under Image.
2. Select or upload an image and click Add to Page.
Select the frequency options you offer donors from the Intervals drop-down.

Enable or disable the Give donors suggested amounts to choose from toggle.
If you enabled the toggle in step 6, select the donation amounts you display:
1. Type the first amount in Suggested amounts and add a comma.
2. (Optional) Add additional amounts.
(Optional) Let donors enter the amount they want to donate:
1. Click the Let donors enter their own amount toggle to enable it.
2. Enter a minimum and maximum donation amount.
(Optional) Enable the Notes from donors toggle to let donors add their own note.
Tip: You can change the note title in Step 4 below.
Click Save.

Step 3 | Display the campaign on your site

Now that you have at least one campaign, you can display it on your site. You can connect one campaign to a donation form.

Tips:

When you add Wix Donations, a donation form is added to your site. You can cut and paste it to move it to another site page.
If you accidentally deleted the donation form, you can re-add it (see FAQs below).

To display a specific campaign in a donation form:

Click to select the donation form in the editor.
Select which campaign you want to display:
1. Click Choose Campaign.
2. Select a campaign from the Campaign drop-down.

After selecting a campaign, the form title is still "Make a donation". You can edit the name and description in the next step.

Step 4 | Customize the donation form

Now that you created a campaign, you can customize it to suit your business needs and your site's design.

To customize the donation form:

Click the donation form in the editor.
Choose what to customize:

Edit the default "Make a Donation" title

Edit the default description

Hide campaign elements

Select default donation options

Adjust the layout

Design the form

Customize individual elements in the form

Step 5 | (Optional) Customize the Checkout Page

You can make any necessary customizations to the Checkout Page. For example, you can add extra fields to collect additional information.

Step 6 | Display multiple campaigns on your site

If you collect donations for multiple campaigns, you'll need to display multiple donation forms on your site - one for each campaign.

If you want your donation forms to have a similar look as well as similar settings, save time by copying and pasting a form you already set up. Otherwise, you can start from scratch with a new, uncustomized form.
