Giving Amounts
Preset donation amounts guide donors toward specific giving values, with optional custom amount entry for flexibility.
Giving amounts are the preset dollar values that appear as tappable buttons in the checkout — for example, $25, $50, $100, $250. They guide donors toward specific giving values and reduce friction by eliminating the need to type an amount. Most campaigns use giving amounts as their primary donation interface.
How Amounts Work#
Each campaign has 6 preset amounts per frequency, always displayed sorted from lowest to highest. One amount is marked as the default — the pre-selected value when the checkout opens. On devices, the default amount is highlighted on the tap-to-pay screen.
When a campaign has two frequencies (for example, One-Time and Monthly), each frequency has its own independent set of 6 amounts. This lets you offer different presets for different commitment levels — perhaps $50–$500 for one-time gifts and $10–$100 for monthly giving.
Personalized amounts
When Nizam Intelligence is enabled, the suggested amounts can be dynamically adjusted for each donor based on their context — location, time of year, and giving history. A first-time donor might see more approachable amounts, while a returning donor sees values that reflect their capacity.
Custom Amounts#
Enable Allow Custom Amount to let donors enter any value they choose, alongside the 6 preset buttons. When custom amounts are enabled, you can set a minimum amount as a floor. Custom amounts are separate from the preset count — enabling them gives donors a seventh option for full flexibility.
Fee coverage
Enable fee coverage to let donors add processing fees on top of their donation amount, so your organization receives the full gift. When Nizam Intelligence is enabled, Smart mode personalizes how fee coverage is presented to each donor.
Best Practices#
Choose amounts that reflect realistic giving levels for your community. Starting too high can discourage first-time donors, while starting too low might undervalue your cause. Many organizations find success with a range that spans from an accessible entry point to an aspirational high end — for example, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 for a masjid construction campaign.
If you want to tie amounts to tangible outcomes — like "Sponsor 1 Iftar Box" or "Fund 1 Student's Tuition" — use giving levels instead. Levels add a title, description, and optional goal to each amount, turning a number into a story.
