What is a Quick Donation Link?

A quick donation link is a special URL (link) that opens the donation form with some fields already pre-filled.

Why is this useful?

  • Shortens the donation process for the donor

  • Allows you to create dedicated links for different audiences (for example: one link for a ₪100 donation, another link for a ₪500 donation)

How does it work?

You fill in the data according to the parameters in the file, and at the end, a unique link is generated that leads to a form already containing the data you entered.


Steps

  1. Click on this link to open the pre-made file in the cloud

  2. The file cannot be edited in the cloud, so you need to download it to your computer via the menu: File > Download > xlsx format

  3. When finished, copy the link from the bottom cell on the right side. Open the link and verify that it opens a form with the defined details.
