How-to: Disable Write-In Donations for Peer-to-Peer Campaigns

Control whether donors can write in names when crediting Participants or Teams for their donations.

When you run a Peer-to-Peer Campaign on RallyUp, donors can credit Participants* or Teams* for their donations. Donors can select the Participant or Team by choosing them from a dropdown. If they can’t find the Participant or Team they’re looking for, they can write in the name:

Benefits of allowing write-in donations include:

• Donors don’t have to wait for a Participant or Team to sign up before making donations. Donors can donate right away, and you can assign the donations to the correct Participant or Team after they sign up.
• Donors won’t abandon their donations if they can’t find the right Participant’s or Team’s name.

If you don’t want to allow donors to make write-in donations, you can turn this setting off anytime, even when your Campaign is live.
