This guide is for those looking to create a thank you page on their website to display the receipt and thank you message from OnlineFundraising.
The thank you page is where the donor/member is redirected after successfully completing a form.
Step 1: Download the Receipt Script
First, download the script needed to embed the form's receipt on your thank you page:
Select Form Builder from the main menu in OnlineFundraising.
Click on Download receipt script, located at the top right of the page (see [1] in the screenshot below).
The receipt script will be downloaded to your computer as a .txt file.
Step 2: Insert the Script on Your Thank You Page
Next, copy the text content from the downloaded file onto your website where you want the form’s receipt and thank you message to be displayed.
Assuming you have already created a subpage on your website for this purpose with an appropriate title (e.g., [YourDomain].dk/thank-you):
1. Navigate to the page where you can edit the content for the thank you page.2. If possible, select a text editor. Most editors offer an option to insert code, ensuring that the editor does not alter or remove the characters that the code consists of.
3. Copy and paste the entire content of the .txt file you just downloaded and save your changes.
After inserting the script, you should be able to navigate to the page and see a blank screen. This indicates that everything is set up correctly.
Step 3: Configure the Thank You Page for the Form
The URL address where the donor/member lands after completing the form is controlled by the form’s purpose(s).
To set up the thank you page:
1. Select Form Builder from the main menu in OnlineFundraising.
2. Select the form for which you want to configure the thank you page.
3. Navigate to the Purposes tab and expand the menu if necessary.
4. Enter the URL address of the thank you page under the relevant purpose(s).
5. Select Communication from the dropdown menu to choose the receipt email to be sent and what should be displayed on the thank you page.
Step 4: Customise Text on the Thank You Page
You can choose to display text on the thank you page with the same options to merge names, amounts, etc., as in the receipt email.
1. Select Communication in the menu and navigate to the same communication you selected in Step 3.
2. For each type of payment the form allows (single payment, regular payment, regular payment and instant payment, no payment), adjust what should be displayed on the thank you page under On screen.
If you do not want anything to be displayed, simply remove all the text.
