Include Profiles

You may want to collect information from contributors beyond what is required to make a contribution. For example, you may want to inquire about volunteer availability and skills.

You can add any number of fields to your contribution form by selecting existing CiviCRM Profiles (collections of fields) to include at the beginning of the page, and/or at the bottom. You can also create profile(s) specifically for use in Online Contribution pages.

Profiles used in a contribution page can only contain fields which belong to:

Contact records
Individual records
Contribution records

If you add fields that are associated with any other record types, you will get an error when you preview your contribution page.

There is a link near the top of the page to Profiles, where it says "Click here if you need to review, modify or create profiles (you can come back at any time to select or update the Profile(s) used for this page)".

Next to Include Profile (top of page) select a CiviCRM Profile from the dropdown menu to be included at the top of the contribution page (immediately after the introductory message).

If you want to include a second set of fields, next to Include Profile (bottom of page) select a CiviCRM Profile from the dropdown menu to be included at the bottom of the page.

If you're building a new page click <<Previous to save and return to the previous step, Continue>> to proceed or Cancel to cancel the configuration wizard. Otherwise simply click Save.
