How To Set Up A Donation Form with PhotoBiz

How to Accept Donations with PhotoBiz Forms

Overview

The PhotoBiz Form & Contract Builder makes it easy to collect donations through a form on your website. You can create a donation form with preset giving amounts that donors can choose from during checkout. This article walks you through how to add payment collection and set up donation options using a Radio Select field. By the end, you will have a donation form ready to add to your website or share directly with supporters.

Additional Options or Helpful Notes

Donation forms can only use preset donation amounts at this time. Donors cannot type in a custom amount.

If you want to allow other giving amounts, add a note to your form asking donors to contact you directly.

You can offer as many donation choices as you would like by repeating the same setup steps for each option.

After your form is complete, you can either add it to your website with a Form Block or send it out using Email Invitations.

STEP ONE

Log into your PhotoBiz account and click FORMS in the left-side menu. This opens your Forms dashboard where you can create new forms or edit existing ones.

STEP TWO

Click the name of the form you want to use for donations, if you have multiple pages or categories of forms, you can use the search bar to easily find the form you want to use. If you need to create a new one, click CREATE NEW FORM instead. This opens the form editor so you can begin adding your donation settings.

STEP THREE

In the right-side panel, locate the FORM FIELDS area and open the MISCELLANEOUS category. Click the PAYMENT block to add it to your form. This enables payment collection for the form.

STEP FOUR

Click on the Payment field in your form to open its settings. Set the Base Price to $0.00. This is important because it allows the donation amount to be controlled by the options you add in the next steps, instead of charging one fixed amount.

STEP FIVE

Add a RADIO SELECT field to your form. This field will display your suggested donation amounts as selectable options for your donors, such as $25, $50, or $100.

STEP SIX

Click the Pencil icon in the top right corner of the Radio Select field, then choose ADVANCED from the dropdown menu. This opens the settings where you can assign pricing to each donation option.

STEP SEVEN

Click CHOICE 1 to begin setting up your first donation amount. Enter a title for the option, such as Donate $25, then type the matching amount into the ADDITIONAL FEE field.

STEP EIGHT

Click SAVE CHANGES to apply that donation option. Repeat the same process for each additional amount you want to offer on the form.

As you add your choices, you will see the donation options update in the form builder in real time.

FINAL STEP

Once your donation form is complete, decide how you want to share it. You can add it to your website using a Form Block, or you can keep it as a standalone form and send it through Email Invitations.

When everything is set up correctly, your donors will be able to choose one of your preset donation amounts and submit payment through the form.

Troubleshooting or FAQs

Can donors enter their own custom donation amount?

No. Donation forms currently support preset amounts only. Donors must choose from the options you add to the form.

Why should the Payment block be set to $0.00?

Setting the Payment block to $0.00 prevents the form from charging a fixed amount before the donor selects one of your donation options.

Can I use this form on my website?

Yes. You can place the form on your website using a Form Block or share it directly through Email Invitations.
