Collect donations during event or membership registration

It is common to collect donations during event or membership registration, if your organisation is a charity or not-for-profit. Below describes how to set this up on Liveheats.

How to collect donations during event or membership registration

For events, go to the Event settings > Payments or for membership go to Series settings > Membership
Scroll down to the section for Optional add-ons and click Add-item:

In the first item, add a description for the suggested donation amount (e.g. $5 donation) and set the price to the corresponding figure.
Repeat for all the donation amounts you'd like to offer (Unfortunately there is no way to have a 'custom' option):

Click Save. When registration is set to Open registrants will now see these as options to add to their purchase amount. Funds will flow to your Stripe account after Liveheats and Stripe fees.
