The Give Form Field Manager plugin empowers non-profit organizations and fundraisers to move beyond standard donation forms by adding custom fields tailored to their specific data collection needs. Whether you need to capture donor preferences, collect t-shirt sizes for event registrations, or ask for specific tribute information, this plugin provides the flexibility to customize your donation experience without requiring complex custom coding. It is the essential tool for any organization using GiveWP that needs to gather more than just basic contact and payment information from their supporters.
Key Features
- Custom Field Types: Easily add a variety of field types to your donation forms, including text inputs, text areas, dropdown menus, radio buttons, checkboxes, and date pickers.
- Conditional Logic: Display or hide specific fields based on the donor’s previous selections, ensuring your forms remain clean, relevant, and user-friendly.
- Form-Specific Assignments: Assign custom fields to specific donation forms, allowing you to collect different data for different campaigns, such as gala tickets versus general annual fund donations.
- Data Management: Seamlessly integrate collected data into your existing donation records, making it easy to view donor-provided information directly within the WordPress dashboard.
- Required Field Validation: Set specific fields as required to ensure you capture critical information before a donation is processed.
- User-Friendly Interface: Manage all your custom fields through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, saving you time and technical frustration.
Use Cases and Who It’s For
This plugin is designed for non-profit administrators, fundraising managers, and web developers who rely on GiveWP to process online donations. If your organization struggles with limited data collection, this plugin is your solution.
For example, if you are hosting a charity run, you can use the Form Field Manager to add a dropdown menu for t-shirt sizes and a text field for emergency contact information directly on the registration form. If you are managing a memorial fund, you can add a text area for donors to include the name of the person they are honoring. By collecting this information at the point of donation, you eliminate the need for follow-up emails, streamline your donor management process, and provide a more personalized experience for your supporters.
Setup and How It Works
Getting started with the Give Form Field Manager is designed to be straightforward for WordPress users of all skill levels:
- Install and Activate: Once the plugin is installed and activated on your WordPress site, a new menu option will appear within your GiveWP settings.
- Create Your Field: Navigate to the field manager dashboard to create a new custom field. You will select the field type, provide a label, and define any necessary options (such as the items in a dropdown list).
- Apply to Forms: Choose which donation forms should display this new field. You can apply fields globally or target specific campaigns for maximum control.
- Configure Logic (Optional): If you are using conditional logic, define the triggers that determine when the field should appear to the donor.
- Save and Test: Save your changes and preview your donation form to ensure the fields appear exactly as intended. Once live, the data will be captured automatically with every donation.
