Creating A Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Page
Begin by creating a new page.
Plug in your event details. Select Peer-to-Peer Fundraising as your Page Type.
Note: Choose In-person versus Virtual Event.
The next step is to customize your page! Use the Design Settings and click the pencil icon to edit.
You can use the design elements - a logo, background image, colors and fonts - to make it memorable for donors.
Note: The page builder will populate with dummy data as you work. The published page will reflect the accurate numbers.
Once you've customized the page, hit Publish to launch your page!
If this is your first page, you'll be asked to set up a payment gateway. This provides the needed details to deposit the funds you raise into your bank account.
Nice work! Now your page is live and ready to accept donations!
How Supporters Create Their Fundraisers
If a supporter would like to fundraise on your behalf, they have the option to create their own fundraiser or sub-page.
They can select Fundraise For This Cause at the top of your live page.
On the sign-up page, the supporter can...
Set their own fundraising goal (Or you can lock this goal in as the organizer)
Add their own story
Add a custom thank you
Upload a profile picture
Upload their own photos/videos
Note: They must use a legitimate email address to verify their page.
Once they've completed the sign up details, they can select Create Your Page to launch their sub-page.
The page will appear in a pending status until they verify their email, the link to do so will be in their inbox shortly after account creation. Once verified, the page will appear on on the main giving page.
Managing Individual Fundraisers
Select Fundraisers to view the Supporters who have created sub-pages for your cause.
As the organizer, you'll have the options to...

Each fundraiser is automatically assigned a fund ID. You can export and sort by Fund or Fundraiser Name in your export.
Analytics
The page summary and analytics page will display the total of donations from the main and supporter pages combined.
FAQs
If a supporter incorrectly enters their email when signing up, how can they verify their page?
You can disable the old page in your page builder under Fundraisers, and the supporter can create a new page under the correct information.
Will updating the fundraising deadline change the sub-pages?
It will not update on current subpages, only new ones.
What are the suggested image sizes for Peer to Peer pages?
The images will automatically resize but the best gallery dimensions are 700x415 and 200x200 for profile pictures.
