How to Create E-Cards in Glass Register
E-Cards provide a powerful way to create an emotional touch point for your donors and inspire more giving. When you're using E-Cards, a donor will have the option to send a beautiful, personalized e-card in honor or memory of someone special. Whether it’s a tribute, celebration, or just a gesture of support, E-Cards create an emotional touchpoint that keeps your mission close to donors' hearts.
Follow the instructions below to create and share E-Cards in Glass Register!
🪄 Step 1: Create a New E-Card
From the left side panel, click E-Cards. In the top right corner, click the “New Category” button, enter the name of a Category, and click "Save."
Categories help organize your E-Cards (e.g., “Mother's Day Cards," "Holiday Cards," or "Birthdays and Special Occasions"). All E-Cards in a category will appear as options for donors during the donation process.
Next, click the "New E-Card" button .
Next, give your E-Card a name — choose something descriptive so it’s easy to find later.
Next, select a Category from the drop-down menu.
Click "Upload a card cover to get started" to upload an image for your E-Card — this is what the recipient will see as the cover of the card. You can upload a .png or .jpg image.
Write a default message that will appear on the card. Note that donors can edit this message before sending.
Click “Preview” at the bottom to see how your card looks, and once everything looks good, click “Save.”
✅ Great! Your E-Card is now created and ready to link to a donation form. Continue these steps until you have created all your E-Cards.
🔗 Step 3: Link Your E-Card to a Donation Form
In the left side panel, click “Forms.” Find the form that you'd like to offer E-Cards through, and click “Edit" icon on that form.
Go to the “Settings” tab, and go to the E-Card Settings section.
First choose the Category you assigned to your E-Card earlier. This tells the form which E-Cards to display to donors who give through this form.
In the "Redirect Button Label" field, enter a call-to-action (e.g., “Send an E-Card to someone you love!"). After a donor has finished their donation, this is the button the donor will see guiding them to send an E-Card.
Enter the Redirect Button Link. This link can be used to provide E-Card recipients with a call-to-action. For example, you may want to offer recipients the option to sign up for your newsletter, follow you on social media, or perhaps to consider making a donation themselves!
Click “Save," and that’s it! Your E-Cards will now be offered to donors after they complete a donation. It’s a simple way to make giving more personal, meaningful, and shareable. 🎉
