ProDon:Home Page and Website Configuration

Introduction

The Online Donation Module allows the donors to make donations directly through the Web.

In order for the donors to be able to make donations, a website must first be created and configured. The creation of an online donation website includes the configuration of the website's home page, as well as the creation of different Web forms. Each Web form is attached to a donation occasion, this ensures that Internet users can sign up to the fundraising activities of an organization, or make a donation directly online.

Moreover, when an Internet user makes a donation or registers to an activity via a Web form, ProDon adds him or her automatically to the database when importing the donations.
