It's possible something hasn't been set up correctly in your GivePanel account. Some of the most common things are:

  • The end date has been set in the past.
  • No target amount has been set.

Something else to check is that the integration between your GivePanel account and Facebook page is connected.

Head to Account Settings > Integrations > Facebook. 
If the connection is working, you should see the word ''connected''.

If your Charitable Giving Tools have been disabled, no one will be able to create a fundraiser or donate to fundraisers. Here is our guidance on what to do if this happens. 

It's working for everyone aside from one supporter. They are seeing a permissions error message.

If your supporters are seeing a permissions error, this is likely because they haven't accepted the required permissions when creating their fundraiser.

These are the two permissions pages supporters will see when creating a custom Facebook fundraiser.

To remedy this, they can click ''click here to try again'' and then ''continue'' on the permissions page which will accept the required permissions. If they click ''choose what you allow'' and edit the permissions, this can prevent the fundraiser from being created.
