Pooling cash for a shared gift usually means a chain of texts, a spreadsheet, and someone fronting the money until everyone pays them back. A Group Gift Page skips all of that by letting your whole group contribute toward one goal in a single place. Here's how to build and publish your page from start to finish.
Make sure you're signed in to your SignUpGenius account before you begin.
If this is your first time creating a payment page, you'll see a setup screen with a few options to get started. We'll also ask for some information we need so you can collect payments. You don't have to complete this part right away, but you will need to before you can withdraw funds.
If you've created a payment page before, click Create from your Dashboard, select Create, and choose Group Gift.
Add your page details
Enter your page title, description, and a contact name for donor questions. If your group gift is tied to an in-person event, add the date, time, and location.
From here, you can also:
- Set a fundraising goal and choose whether to display the total collected
- Add FAQs to answer common questions upfront
Click Save when you're ready.
Add donation details
Configure the options donors will see:
- Set suggested donation amounts and a minimum contribution
- Add images to personalize the page
- Add custom questions for donors to answer when they contribute
- Set quantity limits, if needed
Want to offer additional donation items, like different giving tiers? Click the link at the bottom of the screen to add more.
Configure your payment settings
Now for the fun part — making sure the money lands where it should. You can:
- Allow or restrict physical payments
- Cover transaction fees for your donors
- Customize the text donors will see on their credit card statements
A little polish here goes a long way toward donors trusting where their money's going.
Publish and share
Give your page one last look, then click Publish to send it out into the world. Heads up: publishing doesn't notify anyone on its own, so it's on you to spread the word. Get your page in front of people by:
- Sending or posting a direct link
- Adding a custom button to your website
- Generating a QR code for printed materials
- Creating a text code donors can send for a link
