Overview
This checklist is for charities getting started with GivePanel Events, whether you are brand new to GivePanel or setting up Events for the first time.
Once you’ve completed the steps below, you will have a live event where supporters can:
Register and purchase tickets
Create a fundraising page
Receive emails
Be tracked and reported on within GivePanel
Step 1: Create your GivePanel account
(Only if you do not already have a GivePanel account)
The team will have emailed you steps to create your account.
If you haven’t received this, please contact [email protected] or your account manager.
Step 2: Connect Stripe for payments
Stripe is used to process ticket payments. Connect your charity’s Stripe account so supporters can purchase tickets during registration.
Step 3: Connect JustGiving (for fundraising)
To enable supporters to create fundraising pages as part of registration, connect your JustGiving account.
Step 4: Enable the email tool
GivePanel Events uses automated emails (Email Journeys).
To send emails from your charity’s domain, you’ll need domain authentication and the email tool enabled.
If your account already has this set up, you can skip this step.
Step 5: Set your Events subdomain
Your Events subdomain is used for all registration form URLs.
This must be set before GivePanel will allow you to create forms.
Step 6: Create and configure your Event
You’re now ready to build your event in GivePanel.
This includes:
Adding your event details
Setting up tickets and payments
Creating your registration form
Configuring fundraising settings
Setting up transaction and stewardship emails
Step 7: Test and go live
Before launching:
Test your registration form
Create a fundraising page
Send test emails
