Configuring Campaigns¶
Images and Attachments¶
Each campaign can have two images: a product image and a header image. The product image should be 200x200 and the header image should be 600x300.
Attachments are displayed at the bottom of the campaign. These are used to make supplemental forms and information available to the purchaser. Attachments are displayed in alphabetical order by name.
Click on the Upload links to upload an image or the Upload Attachment button to add an attachment.
Inventory¶
Campaigns can track available inventory. To set the inventory:
- Create a Product campaign.
- Click the Edit Advanced Settings button towards the bottom of the page.
- Click the Track Inventory checkbox, then enter the available inventory.
When inventory tracking is enabled and the inventory is less than or equal to 20, the "only x items left" text is displayed.
Notes
- Inventory only applies to Product campaigns. It is not available in membership, tuition, pledge, or donation campaigns.
- Inventory does not account for product options. For example, a campaign can specify 100 shirts, but does not support having 50 red and 50 green shirts. To get around this, we recommend using multiple campaigns.
- Inventory is not replenished when refunds are issued or items are removed from an order. Inventory needs to be manually adjusted.
Attribution¶
There are multiple types of attribution:
- Attribute Purchase To The Family: The purchased is recognized as being made on behalf of the family or purchaser. Use this where the student information is not relevant (e.g., Parent's Night Out ticket sales).
- Attribute Purchase To The Student: Student is required for purchase. The name of each student is displayed during registration giving the purchaser the ability to make multiple donations/purchase on behalf of a student.
- Attribute Purchase To The Teacher: The name of the teacher is selected during the purchase. The teacher names are managed in the Directory Section.
- Attribute Purchase To The Parent: The name of the parent is selected during the purchase. The name of each parent is displayed during registration giving the purchaser the ability to make multiple donations/purchase on behalf of a parent.
These attribution options apply to the following campaigns:
- Purchase
- Donation
- Zero Dollar Campaign
Campaign Options¶
Campaign Options allows campaigns to customize the campaign and optionally change the price. Examples of campaign options include:
- Sizes: Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large
- Colors: Forest Green, Black Aqua, Heather Blue, Dark Gray
- Styles: Full Zipper, Half Zip
Campaign options are available for Purchase campaigns. They are not available for any other campaign type.
Price Changes¶
Campaign options optionally have price changes associated with them. For example, a school may sell a softcover yearbook for $50, the purchaser can select the hardcover option for $10 more, making the price $60. The amounts specified in the campaign options represent the amount changed from the campaign price. In the above example, the option data would look like the following:
Option | Amount |
---|---|
Softcover | $0.00 |
Hardcover | $10.00 |
Note
If member pricing is available and applicable to the purchaser, the campaign option price changes will be applied to the member price.
Negative and Positive Amounts¶
The campaign option amount can be positive or negative. However, the price of the campaign must be greater than or equal to zero. If campaign option combinations result in a negative amount, zero will be used for the amount.
Notes¶
- Changes to the name of the option will be reflected in reports, however, existing orders and carts will continue to show the value when the item was added to the cart.
- When a campaign option is removed, the option will remain in existing orders and carts.
- Campaign options do not support translations.
Use the Unit Sale Report to view sales summaries with options included.
