Are you unsure about embedding a donation form widget on your website? It’s a super easy way to seamlessly integrate your form (or just a part of it) with your nonprofit’s site!
Check out this article to read about using widgets.
When a donor uses an embedded widget to make a donation or register for an event, they’ll see your website URL in the address bar instead of a Qgiv URL. Here are some examples:
Wondering why one URL has https:// while the other doesn’t? Don’t worry! Donor information is still safe and sound! When creating a widget, our secure link (https://secure.qgiv.com/for/YOURFORMNAME) is masked behind your URL. This means donors won’t see https:// at the beginning of the URL. However, the online donation form (the widget) is still secure because all processing takes place on our servers.
If you’d like to visually reassure donors that their information will be secure, it’s worth investing in an SSL certificate for your organization’s website, as Camp Swift did in the example above. That way, donors will feel comfortable when they see the https:// they’re used to, and you won’t have to use overly technical jargon to explain that their data really IS safe!
Here’s a nice example from Oak Hall Private School. Their website URL displays when you click the donate button, as shown below.
They’ve embedded a form widget on their donation page so it blends seamlessly with their branding.
You can even set up widgets to preselect certain items on your donation form, such as a particular one-time or recurring donation amount, pledge level, event, or restricted giving fund! For example, Riseup Malawi has set up their embedded form so that when donors visit their "Give a Gift" page, the $50 donation amount is preselected for them!
Widget with preselected amount:
You can create as many widgets as you want, and there’s no wait time for implementation since you’re in control of the setup and configuration! To read more about embedding donation forms with widgets, check out this article.
