Crowdfunding & Donation Pages

Deiza lets you build fundraising and donation pages directly as part of your website — no third-party platform needed.

Types of Donation Sections

There are two dedicated section types for collecting contributions:

Donations Section

A simple donation section that lets supporters send a one-off contribution. It links to your payment processor or a custom payment URL.

Good for: general donations, charity campaigns, tip jars.

Donation Tiers Section

A crowdfunding-style section showing multiple giving levels (e.g. $10, $25, $50, $100) with a progress bar showing total raised vs. a goal amount.

Good for: fundraising campaigns with targets, Patreon-style support tiers, community projects.

Adding a Donation Section

1. In the website editor, click the + button to add a new section
2. Go to the Commerce category
3. Choose Donations or Donation Tiers
4. AI generates suggested tier amounts and descriptions based on your campaign context
5. Edit the amounts, descriptions, and button text as needed

Setting Up Payments

Each donation button needs a checkout URL — either a connected payment processor or a manual link.

• Stripe / Paystack / Lemon Squeezy: Set up via Settings > Payment Processors, then select the provider in the Products tab and click Generate Links
• PayPal: Use a PayPal.me link (e.g. paypal.me/yourname/AMOUNT) — see Payment Links
• Custom: Use any payment URL from platforms like Ko-fi, Gumroad, Buy Me a Coffee, or a bank transfer reference link

Donation Tiers Configuration

For the Donation Tiers section, each tier card includes:

• Amount — the contribution amount displayed prominently
• Title — e.g. "Supporter", "Champion", "Founding Member"
• Description — what the donor gets or why this amount matters
• Checkout URL — the payment link for this tier
• Progress bar — set a funding goal to display how much has been raised

Progress totals are updated manually by editing the "raised" amount in the section editor, or automatically when using a connected processor.

Funding Page URLs

Deiza publishes crowdfunding pages at:

• yoursite.deiza.io (your main site with a donations section)
• fund/yourslug (dedicated funding page if you build a focused fundraising site)

Best Practices

• Add a clear headline explaining what the campaign is for
• Include a compelling story in an About section above the tiers
• Add a FAQ section to answer common donor questions
• Use a testimonials or supporters section to show social proof
• Embed a short video in a Video Banner section for higher conversion
