Are you creating your website using GivingFuel? Would you like to add reward capabilities, and campaigns to your website? This tutorial will show you how you can quickly add a fully white labeled fundraising campaign to your new or existing GivingFuel charity website.

This article is part of a blog series for adding rewards to your charity fundraising website. You can also add rewards to other charity platforms such as Ning, NationBuilder, Doodlekit, MyEvent, DoJiggy and Wild Apricot.

The solution described in this blog article can be used for any fundraising, charity, or non-profit organization website. It is great for adding a single reward, or multiple rewards on a single page for any new or existing GivingFuel site using white label technology such as Atlas. To gain the capabilities to add multiple rewards on your GivingFuel site, you need to subscribe to an Atlas subscription plan. The Micro subscription plan is great to use for this purpose. Included in the subscription plans is the Sedra widget. You can use the Sedra widget to host a campaign on any web page.

Please note that it is recommended to read the following article to quickly set up the widget for this tutorial.

Depending on the configuration of your site, you may need to approve the campaign to view it live. To do this, you can log in as an administrator, and go to the administrator dashboard, click on campaigns, and choose approved/running from the dropdown menu located in the status column for the campaign that you have created.

You can also add more functionality such as, removing the contribute button (if you only want users to purchase rewards), enable attributes (for example: if you are offering a t-shirt for a reward, you can add sizes as an attribute for the t-shirt, and colours as an attribute), HTML editor, and more.

Step 3: Host the widget on a separate page.

Once you have created the campaign and copied the widget code, you will have to host the widget on a separate page. You will have to reference this page in order to host it on the GivingFuel website. If you would like to host the campaign on a separate page using the Atlas platform, you can log into the site using SFTP, create a new .html file with the widget code included for this example we have saved it to be called widget.html:

Import the .html file that you created as a new page via SFTP. Place the file in the following location using SFTP: webui/angapp/widget.html

Go to the page that is hosting the widget, and copy the URL.

Step 4: Edit the element, paste the iframe, and view the campaign.

Log into the GivingFuel website, make sure you have chosen the correct page, and clicked on the Page Builder tab.
