Once your GivePanel / GoFundMe integration is set up, you can invite supporters to create GoFundMe fundraisers directly from your campaigns and Facebook challenges.
Here’s how to enable and use this feature in your GivePanel campaigns.
Step 1: Access Your Campaigns
In the main navigation bar, click on Campaigns.
From the dropdown menu, select Campaigns to view your list of existing campaigns.
Step 2: Select a Campaign
Choose the desired campaign where you'd like to offer GoFundMe fundraiser creation.
Step 3: Enable GoFundMe Fundraiser Creation
Scroll down to the section titled Fundraiser Settings within the campaign settings.
Select the ''Enable GoFundMe for this campaign'' option to allow supporters to create GoFundMe fundraisers for this campaign.
Within the Fundraiser section of the campaign builder, please ensure that the fundraiser description has a minimum of 80 characters, the fundraiser title is no longer than 45 characters and a fundraiser image has been set (this is a requirement from GoFundMe). If these requirements aren't met, the 1-click GoFundMe fundraiser creation may fail.
Ensure that all other campaign details are correct, and then click Save and Continue.
Step 4: Testing The Integration
We recommend testing the integration to ensure everything is working properly. Please note, if the GoFundMe integration fails to create a fundraiser (e.g., you see the message "Oh no! We could not create your fundraiser. Please try again later."), it's likely that one of the requirements listed under step 3 hasn't been met.
Additionally, if you’re testing this for a US organization, be sure to use a valid US Zip Code (and not a UK postal code, for example).
Step 5: Share the Fundraiser Option with Supporters
Once GoFundMe fundraiser creation is enabled on a form, your supporters will see an option to create a GoFundMe fundraiser when they register for your event or challenge through your event registration with 1-click link or custom fundraiser link.
