WordPress Plugin
How to setup the WordPress plugin
- Before getting started, visit your Settings page to get your nonprofit ID
- Head over to WordPress and login to your site
- In the Dashboard side-menu, hover over Plugins and click on Add New
- From Add New, search for "CommitChange plugin"
- Once you've found the plugin, click Install Now
- Click on Activate Plugin
- Back in your WordPress side-menu, hover over Settings and click on CommitChange
- Enter your nonprofit ID into the field and click Save Settings
- Your button can now be "called" from anywhere on your WordPress site by adding any of the following HTML options:
Get a basic donate button
Place an empty link with 'commitchange-donate' as the class wherever you want the button to appear.
Embed the form directly in your page
You can embed the donation form directly into your page by adding the "data-embedded" attribute.
Add a custom button image or text
If you want to provide some custom text or a custom image for the donate button, add the "data-custom" attribute.
Your Custom Button Text or Image
Automatically add a preset designation
To preset a custom designation for every donation made through the button, set the "data-designation" attribute.
You can also provide a description of your designation using the "data-designation-desc" attribute.
Preset a custom single amount
To provide a preset single amount for the button, use the "data-single-amount" attribute. Set its value to an amount in dollars.
For example, for a button that only takes $15 donations:
Create custom multiple amounts
To provide custom multiple amounts, use the "data-custom-amounts" attribute. You must provide multiple amounts separated by commas. Set each amount to dollars.
Preset recurring or one-time donations
You can set all donations through your button as either recurring or one-time by specifying the data-type attribute as either "one-time" or "recurring."
Redirect donors to a custom thank-you page
After the donation is completed, you can have the donor redirect to your own custom thank you page. Give a URL for the data-redirect attribute to get this functionality. Be sure to specify "http://" or "https://" in the url.
