This documentation applies to Charitable Ambassadors versions before 2.0. For the current documentation, see:

Charitable Ambassadors

Charitable Ambassadors transforms your website into a peer-to-peer fundraising or crowdfunding platform.

Installation

Installing Charitable Ambassadors is the same as installing any other Charitable extension. If you’re not sure how to do that, we recommend first reading our guide to installing Charitable extensions.

Creating the Ambassador Pages

Once Charitable Ambassadors is installed, you need to create two new pages. In addition, you should set up the login, registration and profile pages.

Campaign Submission Page

  1. Click Pages Add New.
  2. Inside the content area of your page, add this shortcode: [charitable_submit_campaign]
  3. Add a title to your page and click Publish.

  1. Click Pages > Add New.
  2. Inside the content area of your page, add this shortcode: [charitable_creator_donations]

Update Charitable Settings

After creating all of these pages, you can go to the Charitable settings area to link each of them to their corresponding setting.

  1. Go to Charitable > Settings.
  2. Inside the General tab, scroll down to the Pages section. For each setting, select the page you just created. For the “Campaign Submission Success Page” section, choose a page that you would like your users to be redirected to after submitting a campaign.
