Donations

Out of the box, you can create a Donation, provide a description, define the sales start and end dates, and track the quantity sold. In addition to the items just described, we also provide the features covered below.

Event Page Layout

The section “Donations” was added to the Event page layout. The Products section will include the following fields: Item Name, Attendee, Attendee Full Name, Event, and Unit Price.

Attendee Record

There are multiple fields on the Attendee record that determine what is included on the Attendee Form during checkout. This is where you can hide fields, make them required, or show them as optional.

Update Picklist Values

Depending on your use case, set each field's picklist value to either required, optional, or hidden.
