Ticketing, Donations & Donor Management — Integrated with Ticket Checkout

Create one or many donation pages for different causes, add donations to checkout, and accept Pay‑What‑You‑Want — all paid with tickets in a single transaction to minimize friction.

Run goal‑based campaigns, offer recurring monthly donations, let donors cover costs, send customized receipts with signature, ask attribution questions, show sponsor logos, and even host round‑table galas — all in Ticketor.

Integrated donations at checkout with one transaction

Raise More with Less Friction

Donations appear naturally in the path to purchase — before or during checkout — so supporters add a gift while buying tickets. Funds land in your processor per its schedule; receipts are instant.

  • Multiple donation pages — separate causes/funds with unique branding and defaults.
  • Single invoice — tickets and donations paid together in one transaction.
  • Goal campaigns — show progress toward a target or keep donations ongoing.
  • Recurring monthly donations — offer donors the option to give automatically each month.
  • Let donors cover costs — optional toggle to cover processing/platform costs and maximize net gift.
  • Custom receipts — include tax language and e‑signature block.
  • Custom questions — attribution, dedication, employer match, anonymity, and more.
  • Pay‑What‑You‑Want tickets — set minimum to zero or higher for donation‑based entry.
  • Sponsors & logos — display on pages and tickets for higher partner value.

How It Works

  1. Create a donation page for each cause or campaign; set suggested amounts and defaults.
  2. Toggle the donation prompt in the event’s purchase path (pre‑checkout or checkout).
  3. Optional: add Pay‑What‑You‑Want ticket types with a zero or custom minimum.
  4. Enable recurring monthly donations where supported; let donors opt into ongoing gifts.
  5. Offer an option for donors to cover costs (fees) to maximize their impact.
  6. Customize receipt text and signature; add required questions per donation.
  7. Launch — supporters choose tickets and donate in one seamless payment.

Tip: Use campaigns with goals for time‑bound drives or switch to ongoing donations for evergreen giving.
