Once your fundraising page is live, there are several ways to share it. The more channels you use, the more donations you're likely to receive.
Copy your link
The quickest way to share is by copying your page URL directly.
Go to your fundraising page on givestar.io
Copy the URL from your browser's address bar
Paste it into a WhatsApp message, email, text, or anywhere else you'd like
Anyone with the link can donate — they don't need a givestar account.
On the page itself, you can also tap the Share button and select the Link icon to copy it directly.
Share to social media
Your fundraising page has built-in share buttons for Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp. Just tap the relevant icon on your page to open a pre-filled post.
Share via the givestar app
The app gives you the most sharing options, including Instagram Stories.
Open the givestar app and sign in
Tap Fundraise in the bottom menu and select your page
Tap the Share button
Choose from the options shown — including Instagram Stories, WhatsApp, iMessage, and more
To see all options, scroll and tap More
For Instagram Stories, givestar will open the Instagram app with your fundraising page pre-loaded as a link sticker — just customise and post.
Share link not working?
If your link isn't loading or donors are telling you they can't access the page, try the following:
Make sure your page isn't set to private — private pages can only be accessed by people you've directly shared the link with, and won't appear in search. Check under Edit Page and untick Enable private campaign if needed.
Check that your page hasn't been deleted — if you recently deleted it to start again, the old link will no longer work
Try copying the link again directly from your browser rather than from an old message or email
If you're sharing via an event link and it's not activating your page correctly, contact us at support@givestar.io with your page URL and we'll investigate
