Status: In Production 

Release date: April 10th 

This release allows Organizers to disable anonymous donations in Experience Setup. From now on, Organizers can visit the Options > Checkout Options section in Experience Setup and find a new card where they can control all of the existing donor anonymity options shown in the "Donation preferences card during Checkout (see screenshot).

Using the checkboxes on this card, the Organizer can control whether their donors can make anonymous donations. By turning off all the different options, the Organizer can hide the "Donation preferences" card in Checkout, making it an even shorter and more straightforward process for donors.  

Below we will discuss each of the options that can show in the "Customize donor privacy options" card in Experience Setup:  

• Allow anonymous donations (donor information will be hidden from you and other donors) 
  • When turned on, this option will allow donors to hide their names from the Experience Page and Organizer reports. The Organization cannot see the user's name if the donor keeps it hidden.
  • This checkbox only shows for Experiences that do not have items or prizes.  
• Allow donors to hide their name from the Experience Page 
  • This option shows in place of the "Allow anonymous donations (donor information will be hidden from you and other donors)" option when the Experience has prizes and items.  
  • When turned on, this option will allow donors to hide their name from the Experience Page. The Organizer will be able to see the donor's information normally. 
  • This option will only show when the Activity Feed is enabled. 
• Allow donors to hide their donation amount from the Experience Page 
  • When this option is turned on, donors will be able to hide the amount of their donation from the Experience Page.  
  • This option will only show when the Activity Feed is enabled. 
• Allow donors to display their donations under a different name 
  • When this option is turned on, donors can display their donation under a different name on the Experience Page.
  • This option will only show when the Activity feed is enabled. 
• Allow donors to hide their email address from your organization 
  • When this option is turned on, donors can hide their email addresses from the Organization. If the donor chooses not to share their email address, it will not appear in Organizer reports. 
  • This checkbox only shows for Experiences that do not have items or prizes.

Donation Pages

We've also added the same functionality for Donation Pages. Here is a screenshot of the new card in Donation Page Setup's "Options" section. Here the Organizer can control all the existing donor anonymity options shown on the Donation Page (see screenshot).

Below we will discuss each of the options that can show in the "Customize donor privacy options" card in Donation Page Setup:  

• Allow anonymous donations (donor information will be hidden from you)
  • This option is the same for Donation Pages as described for Experiences. Donors can hide their names from the user's Organization when enabled.
• Allow donors to hide their email address from your Organization
  • This option is the same for Donation Pages as described for Experiences. Donors can hide their email addresses from the Organization when enabled. If the donor chooses not to share their email address, it will not appear in Organizer reports.
