What are Donations Modals?

Donations Modals are the newest addition to how you can collect gifts from your supporters through our Donations app. The three ways are: through a donations webpage, through a widget on your site, and now– Modals!

Modals are savvy, beautifully designed components that appear on a user’s screen when they are visiting your website. Colorful buttons encourage them to select a donation amount, and choose to make the gift one-time or recurring. Simple form fields will collect the key data you need to track and thank your donors. And all of these buttons and fields are completely customizable to your org’s needs and goals!

Donations Modals Features

• Predefined donation amounts are available, meaning less typing for the user. But there is an option for them to enter their own amount if they choose!
• Speaking of saving time typing– Soapbox will auto populate a donor’s first and last name fields on the Credit Card form using the data collected in the Contact Information form.
• You control the timing of the Modals! Admin can customize anchor links that open the Donations modal popup from any point on any page of your website. That way, you can perfectly time your asks and encourage a deeper connection between fundraising, supporters, and your mission.
• Modals support a number of payment gateways and methods including credit card transactions, Apple Pay, PayPal, and more.
• Modals support a number of integrations, including Salesforce, Microsoft Fundraising & Engagement, and 360MatchPro Double the Donation integration for employee gift matching.
• There are a variety of customizations that help you keep your branding consistent as you raise money to support your mission.
