Giving
URL
The Giving URL is an extension of the Engage URL created as part of setting up Engage. This address can be used as the link for a Donate Now button on your web site. It can also be converted to a QR code that someone can scan from a flyer, bulletin, or pew card.
Use the buttons:
- Copy to copy the URL to your clipboard
- Embed HTML to put on your website
- QR Code to download a QR code that will access your giving page

Staff Notifications

Fee Assist
The Allow givers to offset fees feature provides givers the option to increase their gift to offset transaction fees thereby passing 100% of the intended donation to your organization.
Givers can elect to offset their fees on their gifts—this option is not mandatory. If Allow givers to offset fees is un-checked under settings, givers will not have the fee offset option.
Once you've enabled the fee assist option you need to choose a giving fund to receive fee assist contributions. This is a standard fund configured in CDM+ under Giving Funds. You can use any fund you'd like, but a fund that is dedicated for fee assist is recommended.
Guest Gifts
Guest gifts are gifts given by those who do not have an Engage account. You can choose how these gifts are handled.
