Fields for the new Donation Button and what they do:

Campaign Name
A short Title about your campaign. Could be your organization name or a specific project you are raising funds for.

About Your Organization
A short bit of information about your organization and the work that you do. This field is limited to 350 characters.

Header Image
You can brand the process with a header image. Maximum Image Dimensions: 540x80 pixels. Want an easy free way to edit or resize images? Look at www.picnic.com

Suggested Social Media Message
This is the message that is broadcast out to the donors network. They can edit the message and select what networks they would like to send it on. The list includes Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin. It is important to note that the webpage from where you have the donation button will automatically be added to the end of the message. You are limited to 130 characters.

Minimum Donation Amount
The minimum donation amount that can be processed using the other donation amount field.

Other Donation Amount
Whatever you enter in here will be the suggested other donation amount. If you leave the field blank there will be no suggest amount. The donor is given the option to edit the other donation amount either way.

Multiple Giving Levels
We give you the option to create multiple giving levels, each with a dollar amount and a description. We recommend that you enter dollar amounts and descriptions that represent what your organization can do with the money. You are limited to 3 giving levels.

Thank you email

The Thank You is not customizable at this time but we hope to make that happen very soon; we will keep you posted. It does give your donor your basic information.
