Multiple designations

To enable multiple designations:

1. Go to Campaigns > [Your campaign] > Campaign Page > Multiple designations.
2. Check the Allow multiple designations checkbox.
3. Save changes.

This option is available only on Campaign Pages, not in the Checkout Modal, and works only for money-based donations (not cryptocurrency). It becomes active when your campaign has two or more designations configured in Campaigns > [Your campaign] > Settings > Designations.

Checkbox to allow multiple designations on a Campaign Page

When supporters visit your Campaign Page with multiple designations enabled, they can select up to 5 designations and specify an amount for each one. All selected designations will use the same donation frequency and currency.

Supporters can add another designation using the Add another designation button. This button only appears when:

• The campaign has multiple designations enabled.
• There are at least two designations available for the selected frequency.

If any of these conditions aren’t met, the button won’t display.

If your campaign has a minimum donation amount, this applies to each designation individually. For example, with a $5 minimum, each designation must receive at least $5.

If your campaign is set to ask for or require a mailing address starting from a certain amount, that threshold also applies per designation — not to the total donation.

For example, if the minimum is $10 and a supporter donates $9 to each of three designations (totaling $27), the address fields will not appear. But if they assign $10 or more to any one designation, the platform will trigger the address request or requirement.

If a supporter sets individual amounts and then changes the total donation amount, the platform automatically updates each designation amount proportionally based on its original share of the total.

Supporters choose whether to cover processing fees once, for the entire payment. The fee is calculated separately for each designation and combined into a single amount shown at checkout.

When a supporter uses a bank account as the payment method and mandate verification is required, each related donation will initially show a verification prompt in both the Donor Portal and the Dashboard. Verifying any one of them confirms the mandate for the entire payment and removes the prompts from the others. If none are verified, all donations from that payment are automatically canceled.

For recurring donations, all selected designations are included in the first installment as one combined transaction. Starting with the second installment, each designation is processed as a separate recurring plan with its own transaction and fee calculation.

Supporters can manage each recurring plan individually from their Donor Portal — including editing amounts, pausing, or canceling.

If a donation includes a tribute, the tribute message is shared across all selected designations within the same payment.

Supporters can send a tribute email or card only once per donation, regardless of how many designations are included.

Each designation creates a separate donation record in your system, but supporters complete the entire transaction through one payment process. They receive individual receipts and confirmation emails for each designation.

If a donation that was part of a multiple designation payment is refunded from the Dashboard, all donations from that payment are refunded together. Partial refunds for individual designations are not supported.

Multiple designation payments sync with your connected integrations as separate donation records. Each designation creates its own data entry in connected CRM systems, exports, and API integrations, maintaining clear fund tracking across all your systems.

After enabling multiple designations, test the supporter experience to ensure your designation options work as intended. Use Test mode to verify that multiple designation payments process correctly and that data flows properly to your connected systems.
