To the right of the social sharing widget is a widget where you can add a description of your auction. To the far right is the Fundraising Thermometer widget.

You can read more about configuring pages in the Event Builder article.

 

Auction Item List Page

This page is where your auction items will be listed when visitors come to your event page. Items can be listed in a variety of different sorting options such as by item number, alphabetically, by current price, or by number of bids. Users can also set up this page to display fund-a-need and store items as well.

 

Auction Item Details Page

The Auction Item Details page is where users can view a more detailed description of a single item from your Auction Item List page. The detailed view includes the item image, the detailed description, the starting bid, the bidding increment, and the item's value.

 

Donation Form: Choose Gift

If a visitor to your page clicks a donation button or navigation item, this is where they'll land.

 

Choose Your Gift Header

You'll see the Choose Your Gift section header at the top of the form. When you click the gear icon, you'll see the default Title text and an Additional Text where you can customize the text displayed on your form. You can also customize the Text-To-Donate Title for display on mobile devices. Be sure to click Update after making changes!

 

Choose Gift Settings

Clicking the gear icon on the widget below the header opens the Choose Gift Settings.

Wording Tab

On the Wording tab, you'll find multiple fields to customize. 

Please note: The fields you see here will vary depending on your form's settings.

Let's take a look at what some of the fields control on your forms.

• The One-Time Tab Label and Recurring Tab Label change the tabs along the top of your form.

• The Recurring Drop-down Label and Frequency Text labels offer a way to customize the default "Give" text and frequency options that appear for recurring donations on your form.

• The Display Recurring Impact Statement checkbox and fields offer a way to display an additional impact statement on your Recurring gifts tab.

• The Fine Print and Change Dates Label labels alter the text that appears when donors choose to make a recurring gift. The "change" language will only appear if you've toggled on the option for donors to choose a start date for their recurring gifts. If you toggled on the option for donors to change start and end dates for recurring gifts, you can change the text that appears on your form in the Start Date Label and End Date Label fields.

• Check the Hide Heart Animation box if you don’t want the heart animation to appear when a donor chooses to make an ongoing gift.

• In the Nudge Message field, you can customize the text that appears on your form if you've enabled the recurring upgrade nudge feature.

• If you've enabled GiftAssist and Dedications on your form, these fields will appear below the recurring upgrade nudge. While you can edit the Dedication fields, the same option is not available with GiftAssist. That language is changed under Donation Settings.

You can also control in which order Dedications and GiftAssist appear on your form. Simply click on the edge of the GiftAssist box and drag it up or down to move it above or below the Dedication section.

Please note: The Dedications area can be set to display on the Choose Gift, the Donor Details, or the Additional Details step of your form. If you don’t see it on this step, your settings are configured for it to display on a later step of the form.

• If you've enabled an Employer Matching Gifts integration, you'll see a field where you can edit or hide the Employer Matching Gift Notice that appears on this page.

• The Text-To-Donate Message field controls the thank-you text that appears when a donor clicks through to your form after sending in a text keyword.

• If you've toggled on and added a minimum and or maximum online gift amount in your control panel, the Minimum and Maximum Gift Messages fields control what appears when a donor chooses to enter a custom donation amount in the "Other" field on your form. The %MINIMUM% and %MAXIMUM% tags will automatically populate on your form with the values you set in the control panel.

Settings Tab

On the Settings tab, users can decide whether the form should Default to the One-Time or Recurring gift tab. The Default Tab will appear on the left side of the widget. From here, users can also select an Alternate Button Style for the donation amount buttons.

Use the Amount Alignment drop-down to determine whether donation amounts with descriptions should display on the left or right side of the amount tile.

Align Right

Align Left

To customize the text of the Continue button on your form, click the gear icon on the Give button section of the form to open the Footer Settings. There, you can customize the form's Continue Button Label.

 

Donation Form: Donor Details

For the Donor Details step of your donation form, you can customize the text in the following areas by clicking the gear icon:

• Name field

• Details field

This field contains a tag that automatically populates the name entered by the donor.

You can also reorder the sections of this step by dragging and dropping them.

 

Donation Form: Additional Details

You can set a variety of fields to display in the Additional Details section or step of your form, including dedications, matching gifts, and custom fields. You can adjust the Title and Additional Text of this section by clicking the gear icon.

If you've configured dedications to appear in this part of your form, you can also edit the labels associated with them.

Please note: This section won't appear in Event Builder until you configure certain features in your control panel and choose to display them in the Additional Details section or step.

 

Donation Form: Payment Details

The Payment Details step of your form contains quite a few options for field label customization. Let's break it into sections:

Payment Content: Gift Summary

These fields control the text that displays when a donor has selected their donation amount. 

Payment Method: PayPal

If you're using PayPal as a payment option, you can change and customize default messaging here.

Billing Address

You can customize field labels for billing address and the checkbox that indicates the donor's billing address is the same as their mailing address. Remember, you have the option to toggle these on and off in your system fields.

Recurring Upgrade

The recurring upgrade section will appear if you’ve toggled on Recurring Upgrade in your Donation Settings. The fields here control the Recurring Upgrade Heading, Additional Text, Upgrade Button Label, and Cancel Button Label.

Footer Settings

Users can also customize their Payment Details Footer Settings. These settings control the Back Link Label and the Submit Button Label for standard and Text-to-Donate donations.

 

Donation Form: Confirmation Page

Editing Confirmation Content

On your Confirmation page, you can customize the majority of the text that isn't pulled directly from the transaction details! Click the gear icon to edit the field labels.

 

Express Donate Additional Fields

If you've enabled Express Donate on your auction donation form, donors will skip the following fields during the donation process: 

• Don’t share my name publicly (System Field)
• Phone (System Field)
• I would like to get news and updates from {OrgNameHere}! (System Field)
• Employer (System Field)
• Any custom field 

These fields will, instead, appear on the Confirmation page after the receipt, in the order they would normally display on the donation form:

You can edit the Heading of this area and the Send button text by clicking the corresponding gear icons on the Confirmation step.

 

Social Sharing Widget

The social sharing widget appears on your Confirmation page by default. If you'd like to remove it, click the trash can icon in the upper right-hand corner of the widget. The widget offers a way for donors to share that they made a gift via Facebook or X.

When you click the gear icon to edit, you'll see quite a few customization options. You can enable or disable either of the sharing options. You can also customize the default content that gets shared on X in the Post Content field.

 

Donor Account Widget

Also on the confirmation page, donors can customize Donor Account language if Donor Accounts are enabled for your form. While in Event Builder, users will see options to create a donor account or go to their existing donor account. However, when viewing this form live, your donors will see only one of these options at a time. Which option they see depends on whether they gave while logged into a Donor Account. 

Clicking the gear icon for the Donor Account section of the confirmation page enables users to edit headings for one time and recurring donations, the Save button label, the heading for donors logged into a donor account, and the additional text associated with the My Account Heading.

 

Donation Form: Recurring Summary

Donors can access the Recurring Summary page from the email they receive after setting up a recurring gift or making a recurring gift payment.

If you want to edit the contents of the page, you can do so from the Donation Form: Recurring Summary page in Event Builder.

As with other pages in Event Builder, you can adjust most of the Recurring Summary’s wording by clicking the gear icons on the page’s widgets.

You can edit the wording for the Header Content, the Ongoing Gift Details, the Ongoing Gift History, the Donor Account prompt, and the Cancel Ongoing Gift button. The Social Sharing widget is also included on this page by default, but it can be removed.

 

Sponsors

The purpose of the page is to thank your sponsors. You can choose to share sponsor names and logos in the grid on the page. This is a default page that can be configured to display your sponsors. If you don't have event sponsors, you can delete the widget along with the navigation item pointing people to this page.

 

Registration: Tickets

The Registration: Tickets page is where attendees select their auction packages and choose to make optional or matching donations.

You can edit some of the fields on this page by clicking the gear icons. For instance, if you want to modify the Optional Donation language, click the gear icon for that section, then adjust the settings from the menu that appears.

The Registration: Add-ons page is where registrants can purchase items from your auction store before the event. You can click the gear icon to change the heading for the page.

 

Registration: Details

The Registration: Details page contains the personal details participants need to enter when they sign up. On this page, clicking the gear icons lets you change the wording for the section headings on the page, including the "What’s your name?" and "Let’s get your details” labels.
