If you already have campaigns running, you can choose to update each one individually or apply the minimum donation to all at once with a single switch. Want to set a higher minimum for a special campaign? No problem—you can override the global default on any campaign inside the campaign builder.
This guide will help you understand how to set and manage a global minimum donation amount to make your fundraising more effective.
Set Global Minimum Amount For All Campaigns
To get started with setting your global minimum donation, first log in to your WordPress dashboard. In the menu on the left, click on Charitable » Settings » Security tab at the top.
Scroll down and you’ll see the option to set your default minimum donation amount. This single location lets you manage the minimum donation for all your campaigns, saving you time and hassle.
Here, you can enter your desired minimum donation amount. By default, Charitable sets this to $2 to help reduce spam donations.
Simply click inside the field, type the amount you want—whether it’s $2, $10, or $20—and then scroll down to save your changes.
This amount will now be the minimum donation required for all your campaigns unless you choose to override it individually.
Apply to Existing Campaigns
If you want to apply the new minimum to all campaigns at once, there’s a toggle in the same Charitable settings page that says “Apply to all campaigns”. Activate it and the minimum amount will be applied to every campaign.
This makes sure every ongoing campaign now follows your new minimum donation rule.
Set Minimum Donation Amounts For Specific Campaigns
To set a different minimum donation amount for an individual campaign, go to your campaign list in the Charitable » Campaigns page.
Find the specific campaign you want to customize and click to edit it. Within the campaign settings, open the Settings tab in the far left menu and go to Donation Options.
Enter the amount you want for this particular campaign, which can be higher or lower than your global minimum.
Once you save the campaign, this new minimum will apply only to this campaign, while other campaigns will continue to follow your global setting.
This flexibility allows you to tailor donation requirements for special projects or campaigns.
