In order to add the option for your donors to Cover the Fees on your donation forms, please follow the below steps:
1. The Cover the Fees Question works best as a Yes/No Question, so go to Library --> Global Questions to create a new Global Yes/No Question.
2. Click the "+ADD NEW" button and select Yes/No as the Question Type.
3. Fill in the Name as "Fees" or "Cover the Fees"
4. The Label will be your actual question, so it can be, "Would You Like to Cover the Fees?" or however you would like to ask the question.
5. Leave everything else as is. You do not need to add the fees next to the Yes or No answer.ย
6. Click Save.
7. In the Campaign, select the Form from your Form List that you would like to add this question to.
8. Once you selected the Form, you will see the options available to you for that form like Overview, Quick Config, Form Details, etc.

You also have the option to apply this fee to Ongoing/Recurring payments, by selecting "Yes" next to "Apply Fee to Ongoing Payments?"
17. Next, the last section on this menu should say "Percentage Applied." Select "optionally based on question answer."
NOTE: Adding a fixed amount fee will make the fee required instead of optional.

19. Click Save!
Now your donors will have the option to cover the fee. If you need any assistance, please reach out to enterprise-support@givegab.com.
