Before we begin
Before designing your Campaign, you’ll want to make sure you’ve signed up and set up your Account. Then, consider if a Fundraising Page is the right Campaign type for you and start a new Campaign.
Setting up your Fundraising Page
Every Givebutter Campaign has a Campaign Manager that allows users to edit Campaign details from the Dashboard. To begin, navigate to the RAISE tab in the left side panel and select the Campaign you'd like to edit from the recent Campaigns list or select ALL CAMPAIGNS to see the full list.
At the top of the Campaign Manager, you'll see various tabs you can click into, as well as a place to view or copy your Campaign URL.
The DETAILS tab
The DETAILS tab contains a place for you to flesh out what your Campaign is about. You can:
Give your Campaign a title
Give your Campaign a subtitle
Set an optional theme color
Upload an image file for a Cover Photo or embed a Cover Video with a link
Make sure you know the ideal image sizes and formats for your Cover Photo!
Add a Story to your Campaign
The title and subtitle will also appear on your Giving Hub if you have enabled one.

The SHARING tab
The SHARING tab provides a variety of ways to get the word out about your Campaign! You can:
Customize how your Campaign appears on social media with your SEO Settings
SEO information appears on Google searches and social media posts. The title and description will appear on Google, and the title and photo will appear on social media.
SEO title and description override your Campaign details. If left blank, the SEO settings will default to your Campaign's title and description. For social media, there will be no preview image if you don't set one here, as seen below.
⛔️ Warning: Having trouble with your SEO settings? If you've already set previous SEO settings, the link may need to be debugged to show any updated information.

In the TOOLS tab you can manage your available payment options and add Custom Fields.
