Managing Causes

Setting Featured Causes

In using ShoppingGives, you have the ability to set up to 6 featured causes or cause portfolios at any time. 

How it works

1. Open the Impact Portal.
2. Navigate to Global Settings from the left-hand menu.
3. From the Select Featured Causes section, click Add Cause.
4. From here, you can search for any 501(c)(3) organization you wish to support, either by name or EIN.
5. Once you’ve found the cause(s) you’d like to add, click Confirm Selection.
6. Then, hit Save.
7.  

Or, you can add featured causes from the Cause Manager.

1. From within the Impact Portal, navigate to Causes from the left-hand menu.
2. Under the Featured Causes tab and the Featured Cause Settings section, click on the Add Cause button.
3. From here, you can search for any 501(c)(3) organization you wish to support, either by name or EIN.
4. Once you’ve found the cause(s) you’d like to add, click Confirm Selection.
5. Then, hit Save.

Setting a Default Cause

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. Although this cause will be preloaded, your customers still have the option to search and select their own cause if they wish to do so. 

How it works

1. Open the Impact Portal.
2. Navigate to Causes from the left-hand menu.
3. From the list of your set featured causes, click on the cause you would like to set a default on.
4. From here, click on the Set as Default button in the top left corner.
5. Hit Save.
