About

This campaign type is suitable for situations where donors pledge large amounts to be donated over a period of time (in months) in small installments.

Creating a Long Pledge Campaign

Navigate to Campaigns > New Campaign > Long Pledge.

Add the Name, Select pledge frequency option, Pledge duration in months and Time Zone associated with your campaign.

Long Pledge Configuration

Add the Basic Details, Donor Details, Availability, Advanced Settings, Cover Fee Settings and Confirmation Email settings as you would with every other campaign. More information on this can be found here.

Long Pledge Settings

The options are:

• Hide pledge option - This turns off the option to make the first payment of the donation a pledge rather than a donation. If it's turned off then a donor can make a pledge to pay without actually making a donation at the time.

• Hide custom amount - This toggles the ability to add a custom donation amount rather than the donation amount specified. Decide on the Custom Amount Text or Set a Custom Amount Image or Thumbnail

• Hide recurring donation - You can choose the frequency options your donors will see in order to make their installments.

• Pledge campaign duration in months - Enter the total number of month's for the donor's long term pledge

Long Pledge Options

You can add your Long Pledge Options one by one or through Bulk Import
