We’re excited to introduce game-changing updates that will make your fundraising smoother and more personal than ever. Our newly updated customizable PDF receipts, drag-and-drop Elementor widgets, and “Reply To” feature streamline fundraising and help you connect with donors instantly.
🚀 Updated PDF Receipts Template w/ QR Code
We have updated the look of the template for PDF Receipts and added a customizable “Thank You” header to make sure you thank your donors.
In addition, we have added the ability to add a QR code that links to the campaign’s official page so donors can scan and share with more potential donors. No coding needed. Just enable this in the PDF Receipts setting and customize the message…. that’s all you need to do!
✨ New Elementor Widgets for Charitable
Love building with Elementor? So do we. That’s why we’ve added four ready-made Charitable widgets that plug right into your Elementor workflow, making stunning donation pages effortless.
- Campaigns
- Donate Button
- Donation Form
- Campaigns (Gallery style)
To add any of these widgets to your page, you simply drag and drop it into your design. Let’s take a look at how each one works.
1. Campaigns Widget
The Campaigns widget lets you showcase individual campaigns with all their compelling details.
With the Campaigns widget, showcasing any fundraiser is as simple as drag-and-drop. Just drop the widget into your layout, select your campaign from the dropdown, and watch it show up live in Elementor.
From there, preview, save, and publish—no shortcodes or layout tinkering required. Plus, your campaign details stay automatically up-to-date as donations pour in, making it perfect for homepage spotlights or dedicated landing pages.
2. Donate Button Widget
Our Donate Button widget gives you a clean, bold call-to-action that you can drop anywhere on your site—posts, pages, headers, sidebars, you name it.
Simply add the widget, pick your campaign from the dropdown, then choose between a styled button or a plain text link.
Want it to open in a new tab? You’ve got that option too. And because it’s built on Elementor’s button settings, you can tweak colors, fonts, and hover effects to match your look.
It’s that versatile and straightforward—just point, click, and you’re ready to inspire giving.
3. Donation Form Widget
Want to embed a clean donation form anywhere on your site? Just drag in the Form widget, pick your campaign from the dropdown, and you’re all set.
Because forms are dynamic, you won’t see them live in the Elementor editor—just hit Preview or Publish to watch it in action.
The best part? It automatically inherits your site’s styling, so your donation form feels like a natural part of your design, with zero jarring transitions or mismatched layouts.
4. Campaigns Gallery Widget
Looking to highlight all your causes in one spot? With the Campaign Gallery widget, you can create a gallery of all your campaigns.
You get complete control over the gallery, including:
- How many campaigns to display
- Order by Date, Popularity, Ending Soon, Title or Random
- Sort by ascending or descending order
- Add categories
- Show campaigns created by a specific users
- Exclude specific campaigns if needed
- Include/Exclude inactive campaigns
- Column layout (2, 3, 4 columns – whatever works!)
This widget will help you create a “Ways to Give” page or showcase all your current initiatives. Donors can browse and choose the cause that speaks to them most!
The best part? Everything works right out of the box. If you’re already comfortable with Elementor, you’ll feel right at home. Just drag, drop, customize, and publish!
Now donors can browse every campaign and choose the one that speaks to them most, effortlessly.
