The basics:

Collect donations by setting up a "Donations" show


If you have Webtix, you can collect donations online by setting up a "Donations" show in Wintix.

Or you can sell t-shirts, coffee mugs or other merchandise to help support your organization. To see how it looks, check out some examples we've created in our
Webtix demo.

 

Click on "FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN 2012 2013" or "Merchandise for sale - on line" for inspiration.

 

We also have a step-by-step tutorial on how to set it up on the Center Stage Help Desk !  

  
How to add a "Donate" button for donations via Webtix

donate  

 

 

You have a button that says "Purchase" on your Webtix site for all the shows you are selling.

 

If you are also soliciting donations on your site, you want the button to say "Donate" so that it stands out and is easy to find among all the buttons that say "Purchase' for your shows.

 

Luckily, it is quite simple!

 

The easy-to-follow instructions are on our Help Desk blog! 

 

   

  
Now that donations are coming in, you'll want to 
run a donations report...

 In Wintix, go to:

  • Reports
  • By Day
  • Donations

  • Choose the starting date and ending date
  • Choose "Report on the totals for each customer"
  • That will give you a list of donors during that time frame and a total for each donor
