Template

Free contribution form

Let people decide what they give. The form suggests three amounts as buttons and leaves room for any other amount, with a minimum so nobody pays a symbolic cent. The contribution is settled through your own Mollie or Stripe account the moment the form is sent.

This template is built around payments, which are part of the Pro and Business plans. You can still copy it and edit it on any plan; publishing it needs an upgrade.

Who it is for

Anyone who would rather ask for a contribution than set a price.

  • Associations asking for a free contribution to an activity or a meal
  • Causes collecting donations without a fundraising platform taking a cut
  • Organisers of an open event who work with "pay what you want"

What is in the form

Six items, with the amount field ready to charge.

  • An introduction paragraph explaining what the contribution is for
  • Name and email address
  • An amount field with 10, 25 and 50 euro as buttons, any other amount, and a minimum of 5 euro
  • A message field
  • A required privacy consent

Features it uses

They choose the amount

Suggested amounts as buttons and an input for any other amount, typed with a comma or a dot. You set the minimum, the maximum and the buttons.

Paid directly to you

The amount is charged through your own Mollie or Stripe account, so the money arrives with you. A total of zero starts no payment. Needs Pro or Business.

The amount in every recap

The contributor gets a confirmation with the amount, and the insights add up what came in and what the average gift is.

Making it yours

  1. 1

    Copy it into your workspace

    The amount field arrives with three suggestions and a minimum, as examples.

  2. 2

    Set your own amounts

    Open the field to change the buttons, the minimum and an optional maximum.

  3. 3

    Connect Mollie or Stripe

    Add your own API key in the workspace payment settings so contributions arrive with you directly.

Common questions

Can someone give less than the minimum?
No. The form explains the minimum under the field and refuses a lower amount. Clear the minimum if every amount is welcome, or make the field optional so people can also send the form without paying.
How is this different from the donation template?
The donation template offers fixed amounts as choices and asks what the money is for. This one lets people type any amount of their own, next to the suggestions.

Ask for a contribution, not a price

Copy the template, set your amounts, and publish.
