How to setup a subscription for the purpose of donations?

Go to Administration/System Configuration/Subscriptions and click New Subscription.

From here setup the subscription like any other, however, you need to ensure the following:

1. It must be a renewal invitation

2. It must be amounts variable per member

3. And Members must be able to alter stop dates and amounts (via Direct Debit Donations)

 You will also need to configure a frequency against the subscription. If you wish to offer recurring donations, you can configure more than one frequency to then allow for different frequencies allowed on a recurring donation. For example, recurring donation weekly, fortnightly, monthly, annual etc.

A dollar amount needs to be set against each frequency, however, the number you enter is not critical as you allow them to enter anything they wish when they setup the donation.

Once the subscription has been saved, you will now find it in the donations setup page where you can add it for use. Please note that you can have multiple different types of donations and you are not restricted to just one type. You will need to simply just create a new subscription for that particular donation purpose.
