Adding Social Share Buttons to Your Donation Receipt

This does not require any special plugins — just a share URL and basic HTML.

Step 1: Choose What You Want Donors to Share

Decide:

• The URL you want them to share (e.g., your campaign page or website homepage)

• The message you'd like pre-filled (optional)

Example message:

I just supported Yellow Breeches Watershed Association! Join me:

Step 2: Use Simple Share Links

Below are basic share links you can copy and customize.

Facebook 

X (formerly Twitter) 

(Replace the text and URL with your own. Be sure special characters are URL-encoded.)

LinkedIn

Step 3: Add the Links to Your Donation Receipt 📩

1. Log into your Donately dashboard

2. Go to Account Settings → Email Settings → Donation Receipt

3. Scroll to the message body

4. Paste your share links where you'd like them to appear (usually after your thank-you message)

5. Save

6. Send yourself a test receipt to confirm formatting

Best Practice Tips

• Keep the message short and celebratory

• Link to your main campaign page (not just your homepage)

• Always send a test email before publishing
