How-to: Add Offline Donations

Add offline card or check donations to your Campaign or Donation Page records.

There may be times when a donor makes a donation offline instead of using your RallyUp Campaign Page or Donation Page. RallyUp allows you to manually enter offline donations in your records so you can include them in the total amount raised displayed on your fundraising page.


What are the limitations for offline donations?

  • Donors cannot purchase Ticketing & Registration tickets, Auction bids, Peer-to-Peer registrations, or Storefront items offline.
  • Peer-to-Peer Participants cannot enter offline donations. If a Participant wants to receive credit for an offline donation, the Campaign organizer will need to enter the donation manually and credit it to the Participant.
  • If you want to enter offline Raffle or Sweepstakes entry purchases, see this article instead: How-to: Add Raffle or Sweepstakes Tickets You’ve Sold Offline.
