You'll also see an option to leave a tip for GiveSendGo at this point in the donation process. It helps us keep the platform free for everyone and is completely optional. For more, see The Suggested Tip: What It Is and How to Edit It.

Step 2: Enter Your Details

Fill in your email address, name, and any optional details such as a message for the recipient. If you'd like your donation to appear anonymously on the fundraiser page, check Hide my name from public view.

When you're ready, click Continue to proceed to payment.

Step 3: Choose Your Payment Method

Next, you'll be taken to the payment screen. Select either Card or Bank at the top. For a full list of supported options, see Supported Payment Methods on GiveSendGo.

Link — Your Secure, 1-Click Checkout

If the email address you enter is associated with a Link account, GiveSendGo will prompt you to use your saved payment details for a faster checkout. Link is optional—you can complete your donation without it.

GiveSendGo cannot manage Link accounts. If you need help with your Link account, including login issues or verification problems, please visit Link support for assistance.

Step 4: Confirm and Complete Your Donation

Review your donation details and click GIVE to complete your donation. You'll receive an email confirmation once your donation is successfully processed.
