Donation Form

The Donation Form add-on in Booknetic enables businesses and individuals to accept donations directly through their WordPress websites. This feature integrates seamlessly with your existing appointment booking system, allowing you to create dedicated donation pages and manage contributions effectively.

Creating and Publishing a Donation Page

• Create a New Page and Add the Donation Form Shortcode
  • Navigate to Pages > Add New Page in your WordPress dashboard.

• Enter a title for your donation page (e.g., "Support Our Cause"). In the page editor, add the [booknetic-donation-form] shortcode where you want the form to appear.
  • For Gutenberg, Elementor, or Divi users, search for the Donation Form widget and add it to your page.
• Click "Publish" to make the donation form live on your website.

Configuring Donation Form Settings

• Access Donation Settings
  • Go to Booknetic > Settings > Front-end Panels > Donation.

2. General Settings
   • Display Donation Form On: Select the page you created from the dropdown menu.
   • Title – Set a custom heading for the donation form (e.g., "Make a Difference Today").
   • Finish URL – Redirect users to a thank-you page after a successful donation
   • Payment Method – Choose the available payment gateways for donation processing.

3. Suggested Amounts

   The Suggested Amounts feature allows you to provide predefined donation options, making it easier for donors to contribute with a single click. Instead of manually entering an amount, users can select from preset values, ensuring a smoother donation experience. This feature helps guide donations by encouraging users to contribute common amounts based on your fundraising goals.

4. Purposes

   The Purposes Section in the Donation Form Add-on allows businesses and organizations to define specific causes or initiatives for which donors can contribute. Instead of a general donation, users can select a purpose that aligns with their interest, ensuring transparency and giving donors more control over where their contributions are allocated.

   Key Features of the Purposes Section

   • Multiple Donation Purposes – Create different categories such as "Medical Assistance," "Education Fund," or "Animal Welfare."
   • Better Transparency – Let donors know exactly how their funds will be used.
   • Customizable Purpose Names – Define unique names for each purpose.
   • Streamlined Donation Process – Donors can select a purpose, making the process faster and more intuitive.

   This feature is ideal for nonprofits, charities, and organizations that support multiple initiatives and want to provide donors with greater choice and clarity when making contributions.

5. Agreement

   The Agreement Section allows you to include a terms and conditions checkbox that donors must accept before completing their contribution. This ensures compliance with legal or organizational policies and helps set clear expectations for donors. You can customize the agreement text to include privacy policies, refund terms, or donation usage details, ensuring transparency and trust with your supporters.

6. Save Changes
   • Click "Save Changes" to apply your configurations.

     • Example: "Support our initiatives by making a donation."
