Which is better: a popup donation form or an embedded donation form?
The short answer is: they both have pros and cons!
When a prospective supporter clicks on your “Donate” button, you can choose for your donation form to pop up on the screen. This provides the user with a quick and easy way to make a gift on the spot, without navigating away from the page they are on.
On the other hand, an embedded donation form format can be helpful if you’re adding a lot of detail, like several ask amounts or more than one custom question. In addition, you can typically add more images and content to tell your story to a webpage with an embedded form when compared to a pop-up.
You can always try both options over a certain period to see if you prefer one format over the other!
Does the Donorbox pop-up form have any unique features?
Donorbox pop-up forms make it easier to capture your website visitors’ attention when they’re most inclined to give. With Donorbox, easily add a Sticky Donate Button that anchors to the side of the screen as users navigate your site - when clicked, a pop-up form immediately appears, ensuring giving is always in reach.
Nonprofits on the Donorbox Pro or Premium plans can choose to add an additional content panel to their pop-up forms, which can be used to share impactful content that encourages more donations.
Nonprofits can also add a Giving Reminder to their Donorbox pop-up form, which appears on the bottom of the screen for anyone who starts a donation and navigates away. Think of it as an abandoned cart feature for fundraising!
