Setting a Default Cause

Overview

After you have set your featured causes, you also have the option to set a default cause. By setting one of your featured causes as a default, this cause will be preloaded when a customer is shopping on your site and will automatically generate a donation towards that cause once the order is placed.

This means that with a default cause, every single order will generate a donation whether a customer activates the donation widget or not. While this cause will be preloaded, your customers still have the option to search and select their own cause if they wish to do so.
