How Supporter Fundraising Pages Work
Supporter fundraising lets the people who care about your campaign raise money for it on their own page, with their own link. Anything given through that link is credited to them. They do not need an Argenta login, and they only ever see their own page and their own donors.
Turning it on
Open the campaign, go to Public Form Design, and open the Peer Fundraising section. Switch on Accept new supporter signups on this campaign, then press Save Peer Settings. The section then shows a signup link. That link is what you share with the people you want raising money for you.
What a supporter fills in
First name, last name and email are required. They can also choose the name that appears on their page, set a fundraising goal, and write a few lines about why they are raising money. A goal puts a progress bar on their page. They can change any of it later.
When they finish, they get two links by email: their public page to share, and a private one for editing it. The private link is how they manage their page, so it is not one to pass around.
Approving a page
A new page stays hidden until you approve it, so nobody can put something out under your name without you seeing it first. The list under the Peer Fundraising section shows everyone who has signed up, each with a status of Pending, Live or Taken down. Press Approve to put a page live, or Take Down to pull one.
Stopping it
These are two different things, and it matters which one you want. Switching off Accept new supporter signups on this campaign only stops new people signing up. Every page that is already live stays live. To pull the public pages themselves, use Take All Pages Down, which asks you to confirm and then takes down every live page at once.
How the money is credited
A gift made through a supporter link is credited to that supporter and counts toward their goal, and the donation form names who the donor is giving through. If the donor types a different name into the referral box on the form, what they typed wins over the link. The gift is recorded as a normal donation either way.
If you use the campaign leaderboard, it ranks individual fundraisers while supporter fundraising is on, rather than companies.
