Forms and Checkout Redesign + Form Builder & Stand Alone Elements
We've been busy here at CharityStack. After months of development, we're excited to make our redesigned fundraising and event forms, checkout, and dashboard available to all users.
We've completely reimagined the donation and ticketing experience, improved how users build forms and standalone elements, and elevated the overall dashboard design.
Forms and Checkout Redesign
Simply put, our fundraising and event forms no longer look like they were built in 2008. We've improved the overall experience for contacts.
Key additions include:
- A new details page that can be configured before the amount input. Users can now showcase a title, description, fundraising bar, and FAQs from the embed form.
- Sponsorship forms now offer a simpler experience for donors and support recurring frequencies
- Free tickets no longer require double confirmation
- Company matching through our Double the Donation integration has a dedicated page
- Scheduled payments now appear on the form instead of the checkout
- New multi-select input type for custom fields
- Mobile-optimized hosted pages
- Removed the rarely used "Quick Donate" form type
- Share links and the ability to share to social media platforms
When users navigate to their website, they'll see the new forms and checkout.
Enhanced Form Builder: Previews, Native QR Codes, & Elevated Design
The dashboard has a fresh look and feel with updated styling and new features that make creating and editing forms and elements much easier.
This includes standardizing the creation process for all objects—payments, contacts, forms, and elements.
The enhanced form builder now includes previews for both the embed form and the hosted page, making form creation much easier for users.
Other improvements include:
- The ability to process payments for events
- The ability to create objects directly from their specific pages (Payments, Contacts, Forms, & Elements)
- Native QR code for each form that directs to the hosted page
- Easier form editing from the form details page
- View applied promo codes for events on the payment detail sheet
- Crop images for forms and logos
Standalone Elements and the Element Builder
The final major feature is standalone elements and the element builder. Previously, elements were directly connected to forms. Now you can create elements through the dashboard that point to different forms. You can also edit which forms different elements point to. Standalone elements we support include:
- Add to Cart: Allows people to donate through multiple forms on your website
- Fundraising Bar: Tracks donations from one or multiple forms
- Supporter List: Showcases donors from one or multiple forms
- QR Code: Directs people to one form or any custom website. QR codes created from CharityStack are reusable.
- Fundraising Flag: Creates a sticky button on your website that directs donors to a specific form that overlays your website when clicked.
