How to Create Donation Levels

First, you will need to create your campaign, which is easily found on your PayBee dashboard. Next, you can head over to ‘Donation Options’ and select ‘New Item’. You can also import existing donation options from previous campaigns if you want. You can now customise your donation level. This includes adding images, giving the tier a name, selecting the price, and writing the description. You can also choose to ask donor questions if you feel you need more information from them. Once that’s done, you can create the rest of your donation levels. They can be fully customised and even rearranged so that you can alter the order they appear in. If you don’t want a level anymore, you can easily delete it with the trash can icon, and all created levels are editable.

What Are the Suggested Donation Amounts?

It is usually best to have a maximum of six tiers to prevent supporters from becoming overwhelmed. The lowest tier is usually $10, and it moves in increments of $10-$20 until you reach the last tier, which can easily be $200, $500, or more. You need to ensure the donation amounts have a meaningful impact on your cause while also offering affordable options.

What Can Be Customised for Each Level?

Each donation level allows you to customise quite a lot. You can collect additional details from donors, which means you can ask them questions or get them to choose from a list of options that relate to your campaign. You can also edit the launch and end date for each tier, making some of them limited-time if needed.

Can Donors Enter Their Own Amount?

Donors can enter their own custom amount, and this is an option that is toggled on by default. However, you can switch it off in the ‘Donation Settings’ of your campaign if you would rather stick with fixed amounts, which PayBee also supports.

How are Selections Recorded and Reported?

You can track donations by their tier using the reporting tools within PayBee. It will show you which option they picked, how much they donated, and the status of their donation. That way, you know who has donated for each tier and how much they contribute to the cause. You can do this for each event you host, giving you a clear idea of who your top donors are.
