How to Make My Website Have a Donation Tracker

Set up a donation tracker on your web site.

If you are gathering funds for any sort of charitable cause, your website can be a valuable tool. It can allow you to solicit and track donations, which in turn can encourage even more people to donate. To do this you can use one of several online sites dedicated to helping people achieve donations.

Instructions

1. Research donation services such as IndieGoGo, Kickstarter or ChipIn. You will want to pick the one that best fits your needs as far as flexibility, fees and reliability.

2. Sign up for the donation service that works best. Most require you to have a PayPal or bank account to link to in order to collect funds.

3. Obtain the HTML link code for your donation widget. It will be given to you once you have signed up for your account and set all of your preferences.

4. Paste the widget code on every page of your website for maximum visibility.

5. Upload your site to the Internet with the donation tracker.

Tips & Warnings
