If there is specific information that you need or would like to capture from your donors as they make their donation, you can set up an optional section on your campaign.
The customizable "Donate on Behalf of Section" allows you to:
Set a custom title for the section (describing the information you want to capture)
Collect "entered" information from donors by setting up 2 custom entry fields. You can set a custom title for each of the entry fields. Your donors would be required to enter the requested information in these fields
Collect "selected" information from donors by setting up 2 pulldowns/selection lists, where you can add unlimited selections for your donors to choose from. You can set a custom title for each of the entry fields. Your donors would be required to select one of the options from the list
Collect multiple instances/records by giving your donors the option to submit up to 5 records
Preview the section with your custom selections
