Donation Widget

The donation widget automatically displays all your active donation projects. It can be embedded on any website. This article will show you how to customise your donation widget and where to find the code and QR Code for sharing. Gift aid is supported for donations made through the widget.

You find the icon for the widget on the left hand black sidebar of the module “Payments & Giving”.


Widget location

This is where you customise your widget. You can customise three different colours:

Primary colour: Background for your headline, the amount fields and the donation button.
Secondary colour: Background for your description.
Tertiary colour: Background for the amount fields and the donation button.

The text colour can not be changed. It automatically defaults to either white or black depending on the background colour to comply with EU accessibility guidelines.
