Step 1: Get your embed code
You can get the embed code two ways:
From the Gifts Widget customizer: open Portal Studio → Gifts Widget, scroll to the Embed & Sharing card, and copy the Embed Code. This version reflects all of your customizations.
From Funds: go to Contributions → Funds, click the three dots (⋯) in the top-right corner, and select Embed online gifts to open a modal with the code.
In Portal Studio → Gifts Widget → Embed & Sharing: ① Embed Code ② Direct Link. Click Copy next to the one you need.
Step 2: Copy the embed code
Click Copy. This copies an iframe that contains your church’s secure giving form, which automatically reflects:
Your active funds
Deductible / non-deductible settings
Your connected online payment methods
Step 3: Add the code to your website
Paste the code where you want the form to appear. Common places:
A “Give” page
Your homepage
A donation section inside another page
You can paste it into a custom HTML block, a page-builder HTML widget, or your site’s source code. Once saved, the giving form appears immediately.
💡 Tip: Prefer not to embed? Use the Direct Link in the Embed & Sharing card to share your giving page directly via email, text, QR code, or social media.
You can also share the form from Contributions → Giving: open the ⋯ menu and choose ① Share online gift form.
Copy the link, show a QR code, or share it straight to social media.
