Step 1: Open the Giving Customization Page
Go to
Setup Church Portal → Church Portal Studio → Giving
This will take you to the Giving Customization area where you can personalize every part of your donation form.
Step 2: Style the Giving Form
In the Form Styling section, you can adjust how your giving form looks:
Primary Color: The color of your buttons and highlights.
Background Color: The form background — keep it light for readability.
Text Color: Set the color for labels and input text.
Font Size & Text Size: Choose small, medium, or large text depending on your audience.
Border Radius: Round the corners of your form and buttons.
Spacing: Customize field and section gaps for a compact or spacious layout.
Label Placement & Alignment: Control where and how labels are displayed (e.g. top, left, centered).
Live Preview: All your changes are instantly visible on the right so you can fine-tune with confidence.
Step 3: Choose Layout Options
In the Layout Options section, you decide how the form behaves:
Payment Frequency Options: Toggle which giving plans are available:
One-Time
Weekly
Bi-Weekly
Monthly
Show Giving Header Message: A brief customizable header at the top.
Show Fee Breakdown by Default: Automatically display the donation amount + fees for full transparency.
Step 4: Set Custom Messages & Behaviors (Advanced Settings)
This is where you personalize the language and flow:
Continue Button Text: Change the default “Continue to give” to something more fitting like:
Give Now

Success Message: This appears after a successful donation. Examples:
“Thank you for your donation!”
“We’re grateful for your generosity.”
“Your gift has been received!”
Error Message: This appears when something goes wrong during payment:
“We couldn't process your payment.”
“Something went wrong. Please try again or contact support.”
Redirect URL (optional): Send donors to a thank-you page or your website after giving.
Example:
https://yourchurch.org/thank-you
Step 5: Share Your Giving Form
In the Embed Code & Usage tab, you’ll find two ways to use your form:
Embed Code – Add the form directly to your church’s website.
Direct Link – Share the giving form via email, text, or social media.
All embedded and linked versions reflect your custom styles and settings automatically.
