How to Use the Donation App on UniLink

The Donation App on UniLink lets you collect charitable or cause-based contributions from your audience directly through your link-in-bio page.

What is the Donation App?

The Donation App is designed for creators, nonprofits, and individuals who want to collect contributions for a specific cause, project, or ongoing mission. Unlike the Tip Jar which focuses on casual support for your content, the Donation App is framed around giving to something meaningful — whether that is a charity drive, a community initiative, emergency relief, or a personal project with a defined goal. Donors can contribute freely and see the impact of their generosity.

How to Enable the Donation App

1. Log in to UniLink Dashboard
2. Go to Apps
3. Select Donation and click Enable
4. Describe your cause, set a goal amount if applicable, and connect your payout account

Features and Configuration

• Cause Description — Write a compelling explanation of what donations will fund to motivate visitors to give
• Goal Tracker — Set a fundraising target and display a live progress bar so donors can see the collective impact
• Preset Donation Tiers — Suggest specific amounts tied to tangible outcomes (e.g., 0 feeds one family for a day)
• Anonymous Giving Option — Allow donors to contribute without displaying their name publicly
• Donor Wall — Optionally showcase the names of contributors to recognize generosity and encourage others
• Donation Receipts — Automatically send confirmation emails to donors after each successful contribution

Best Practices

• Tell a specific, personal story about your cause — emotional clarity drives more donations than generic appeals
• Use the goal tracker and update it regularly to show momentum and create urgency among potential donors
• Thank donors publicly (with permission) on your social media to encourage others to contribute and to show accountability
