   Under Suggested amounts, click Add amount and type an amount and, if you like, what it covers. Drag to reorder.

   Optional: under Details, add a Purpose (optional) shown above the amounts, and a Goal (optional) that shows progress on the event's Overview.

   Click Save changes at the bottom of the page. "Donations saved" confirms it.

You need at least one suggested amount or Custom amount on.

What guests see

After Your info, checkout shows Add a donation with your amounts. Guests pick one, type their own, or click Skip donation. The gift is charged with their tickets, on one payment.

Count donations in net revenue

Count donations in net revenue, under Details, decides whether gifts add to the event's revenue figures. Off, revenue is ticket sales only, and gifts show separately as donations. It's off by default, except on a new Interactive event, where most of the money is sponsorship gifts.

See the gifts

The Gifts section at the top of the page lists every gift on the event with its donor, amount, how it was paid and status. A gift's amount can include money paid above a ticket's value or to cover card fees; hover it to see.

On an event with Gala

Show the donation screen to guests who can't attend lets people give without buying a ticket. Without Gala it's locked and says it comes with Gala. See Let people give without attending.
