Can I create an offline pledge?

Of course!

To create an offline pledge for your paddle raise campaign, click “Manage” on the campaign and then click “Donors.” On the donor’s page, you will see “Create An Offline Pledge” at the top of the page. Once you click "create an offline pledge," you can enter the donor’s information for a new donor or choose from an existing donor. 

You will also see an optional description box below the "Pledge Amount." Please note this description will appear on the donor's receipt. Fill this box with information that will be helpful to you and/or the donor in identifying this pledge amount. Click "Save."

First name, last name, and pledge amount are required fields, the description box is optional. If you enter the donor’s email, they will automatically receive a dedicated checkout link to pay for their pledge(s).

 

You may still record a pledge even if you choose not to enter the donor’s email. In this case, however, after recording the pledge, you’ll need to head back to your Donor’s table to manually share with them their unique ‘Offline checkout code’ so that they can pay. Just click the code to copy the unique checkout link to your clipboard. You can then share this code via email or text.
