All set - customers can now donate their loyalty points to have real impact! 😊
Multiple Charities (maximum of three recommended)
- As outlined earlier, if you do plan to include multiple charities please notify support@gogenerosity.com in advance, as additional setup is required by our team before the steps can be completed
- You'll need to duplicate the 'Loyalty Product' for each additional charity. To do this click on:
- Products
- Select the 'Loyalty Product' you originally created
- Duplicate
- Update Title eg: $5 Donation to [New Charity Name]
- Duplicate Product
- Update 'Media' image with charity logo
- You'll then need to create a new 'Program' for each additional charity (as per steps under the 'Program Setup in Smile.io' section). Please note:
-
- When you are customizing the program and 'choosing a product from the store', ensure you choose the correct & correlating product for that charity
- The points to dollar ratio must remain consistent across all programs/ charities
- If multiple charities are selected, all donations will be split evenly between them
