How To Send Test Receipt Emails: Step-by-step Guide

Attention nonprofits, we just launched a new feature! You can now send yourself test receipt emails to see first-hand how your donation receipt template looks when it is sent out to your donors.

Initial & One-Time Donations

There are two types of email receipts you can test, the first being for initial and one-time donations.

Step 1

Start by heading over to your Donorbox dashboard and clicking the “Edit” button by the campaign whose receipt email you wish to test.

Step 2

Go to the “Email” tab of your campaign editor and, once you have drafted your email template, click the gray “Send Test Email” button.

Step 3

This will send a test email to the email address you used to create your Donorbox account. You should get a popup notification letting you know that the email has been sent.

Subsequent Recurring Donations

Step 1

The second type of email receipt you can test is the one for subsequent recurring donations. To do so, go to your Receipt Email Settings on your Account page.

Step 2

Here again, once you have drafted your email template, click the “Send Test Email” button.

Step 3

That’s it! Your test email will be waiting for you in your inbox, complete with a randomized name and donation amount.
