Giving Form Settings
When editing a Campaign or adding a Payment/Donation field to a form, you can tweak giving settings to maximize how donations are accepted on your giving page.
To edit these settings, use the main navigation and click "Giving" and then "Campaigns". You can also access these settings using the Payment/Donation form part.
Click on the campaign you would like to edit or create a new campaign.
Click "Giving form settings" at the bottom of the "Settings" tab.
The Giving Form Settings will open.
