How to Add a Donation Item to Your Store

How to Add a Donation Button to Your Chipply Store

You can follow along with the steps below or watch the video at the bottom of this article for a full walkthrough.

If you want to add a donation option to your store that allows customers to contribute set dollar amounts, this guide will walk you through the process.

Before You Begin

Chipply currently supports preset donation amounts, not open-ended custom amounts. This means you’ll create separate donation items for each amount you want to offer—such as $5, $10, $25, $50, $75, and $100.

Setting up donations this way ensures that all contributions are automatically included in your fundraising totals, allowing you to easily track how much was raised through your store’s fundraising reports.

Steps to Add Donation Items

1. Add the Donation Product

1. In your store, go to the Products page.

2. Click the + button in the top-right corner to add a new product.

3. In the Style, Name & Keywords search bar, type “Donation.”

   • If the Donation product doesn’t appear, email teamchipply@chipply.com and we’ll enable the custom vendor for you.

4. Add the Donation product to your store. You may keep it in the blank process or create a custom process—whichever you prefer.

5. Make sure you turn on the color and size for the donation button.

2. Create Copies for Each Donation Amount

For each donation amount you want to offer, you’ll need a separate product.
For example, if you want $5, $10, $25, $50, $75, and $100 options, copy the Donation product six times.

3. Assign Fundraising Amounts

Open each Donation product and enter the correct dollar amount into the Fundraising Amount field.
This ensures each purchase is tracked properly in your fundraising reports.

4. Group the Donation Products

After setting everything up, you’ll want all donation amounts to appear as one grouped item on the storefront.
