Creating Custom Fundraising URLs

If you want to create a link to a specific part of your Open Collective fundraising page on your website, you can amend your URL with the following options.

Your Contribution flow can be directly accessed via this link: https://opencollective.com/YOURCOLLECTIVE/donate.

Replace YOURCOLLECTIVE with your collective’s slug.

You may decide you wish to preset the contribution module on your fundraising page, rather than just sending your contributors to the page itself.

In these cases, you can customize your URL to do a number of things, including:

• Setting a specific default amount for contributions

• Disabling certain payment types

• Creating a custom background color or frame

• Setting who the contribution is from

For example, if you run the Webpack collective, and want to link users directly to the donation page, with a default monthly donation of $3.33, you can do so by adjusting the URL:

https://opencollective.com/webpack/donate/profile?interval=month&amount=3.33&contributeAs=me If you wish to customize this, replace “webpack” with the designated handle of your Collective, and change the amount to the total you wish.
