Forms Overview

Follow

Donorfy Forms is a flexible and powerful feature enabling you to create a variety of web-based forms that insert data directly into your Donorfy.

Forms are hosted by Donorfy and don't require any website programming knowledge to create! 

Once your Form is created it can be used as a: 

  • Standalone Form - with this option, the form is displayed surrounded by a header, footer and side-bars that you can design - appearing as if it were your own website. 
    Examples of this type of usage could be a button on your website or a link in an email.

  • Embedded Form in a page in your website in an iframe - the person completing the form stays on your website when completing the form. 

 

Examples of Forms that you might want to create are:

  • Donations - allow people to make a one-off or recurring donation by payment card or direct debit
  • Memberships - allowing people to subscribe to a membership programme you offer
  • Gift Aid Sign up - allow people to make a Gift Aid declaration 
  • Contact form - this might find/add a constituent, add an activity and create a task for follow-up
  • Volunteer Application - this might find/add a constituent, add an activity and tag
  • Surveys - a simple survey might contain answers to questions in an activity

 

Flexibility

A Donorfy Form is made up of different elements - these are the building blocks of your Form and are each configurable and moveable within your template. Elements include:

  • Contact Details (individuals and organisations)
  • Contact Preferences
  • Tags
  • Activities
  • Donation
  • Membership
  • Gift Aid
  • Typed Content

 

Taking Payments

Is a doddle with Donorfy Forms. Not only do Forms use trusted payment providers, they are also secure. 

  • Stripe card payments
  • ApplePay
  • GooglePay and Microsoft Pay
  • PayPal
    (payments for the above will be immediate)
  • GoCardless Direct Debits
    (If someone sets up a new Direct Debit through a Form or Web Widget the first charge will be initiated immediately and debited from their account within 5-7 working days of setting up the Direct Debit.They will then not be charged again until the next month on the collection day as per the RPI on the Timeline. )

 

Trackability

Form usage is tracked within Donorfy via UTM codes and can also be tracked within your Google Analytics dashboard.
