How to Use the Donation Block on UniLink

The Donation block is a UniLink block that enables creators, nonprofits, and individuals to accept monetary support from their audience directly through their page with a simple, frictionless giving experience.

What is the Donation Block?

The Donation block makes it easy for your followers and supporters to contribute financially to your work without leaving your UniLink page. Whether you are an independent creator who relies on fan support, a nonprofit raising funds for a cause, a musician asking for tips, or a community organizer collecting contributions, the Donation block provides a clean, trustworthy interface that reduces the steps between wanting to give and actually giving. It connects to popular payment platforms so money goes directly to you.

How to Add the Donation Block

1. Log in to your UniLink Dashboard
2. Open your page editor
3. Click Add Block (+)
4. Select Donation

Configuration Options

• Headline - Add a compelling prompt such as "Support My Work" or "Help Us Reach Our Goal".
• Description - Briefly explain what donations support and why contributions matter to you or your cause.
• Preset Amounts - Offer suggested donation amounts such as $5, $15, and $50 to guide supporters toward a comfortable choice.
• Custom Amount Option - Allow donors to enter their own amount if they wish to give more or less than the presets.
• Payment Link or Platform - Connect to your preferred payment destination, such as a Buy Me a Coffee page, PayPal donation link, or Stripe-powered form.
• Thank You Message - Display a short thank-you note after a donor clicks the button to acknowledge their generosity.

Best Practices

• Always explain what donations go toward, whether it is creating more content, funding a project, or supporting a community need.
• Offer at least three preset donation amounts including a low entry option to lower the barrier for first-time donors.
• Keep your headline warm and personal rather than transactional, as supporters are more likely to give when they feel a human connection.
• Update your Donation block description regularly to reflect your current goals or campaigns so returning supporters stay engaged.
