Tips to get the most out of your donate button

A donate button is a visible call to action on a nonprofit’s website, enabling visitors to give quickly and easily. Supporters can click on the button from a preferred website page and arrive at a donation form to complete a transaction.
You may also add a donate button on Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, and other platforms where visitors learn about your cause. All you need is your campaign or donation form link to attach to the button you’d like to use.

A donate button helps you greet today’s supporters with:

  • A fast way to take action
  • Clarity about where to find your donation form
  • An interactive website element on any page
  • Customization of your branding and website
  • A smooth experience on mobile phones and tablets
  • A simple way to track clicks and engagement

    • Donate buttons work well as a universally understood method of quickly accessing a donation form. The placement of your donation button determines how effectively it will capture the attention of visitors ready to take action.

    Quick tips to maximize the potential of your donation button:

  • Place your donate button at the top of your website where people can’t miss it.
  • Place your donate button in your site header, where it stays present regardless of which page a visitor lands on.
  • Add an emotional appeal with supportive imagery and text beside your donate button.
  • Make your donate button stand out against the page you place it on with bright and contrasting colors and larger text.

    • You can have a donate button on your website and most platforms where people come to explore your nonprofit. Buttons are a standard feature with most website tools and can be linked to any preferred link.
    With Zeffy, any form comes with a simple copy-paste share link that you can attach to a donate button on your website.
    You may use a button to help guide visitors to:

  • A membership site
  • A donation form
  • A crowdfunding campaign
  • A peer-to-peer fundraising campaign
  • A fundraising event
  • A raffle or lottery

    “Prior to 2021, SAT was soliciting very few donations annually. With Zeffy's unique payout method that allows us to keep 100% of our donations, we started our very first annual fundraising campaign. Zeffy has been an essential partner in the success of our campaigns. In one year, we raised over $100,000 in donations!”
