Sponsorships through Website
The Sponsorships feature is first introduced with our Data Management service, but extended capabilities are gained with our Website Service! Visitors to your website can choose to send a donation earmarked for that specific animal, either one time, or as a recurring donation. Once you enable and configure this feature, visitors who view an animal with a sponsorship request will see a link to donate for that animal.
To use the Animal Sponsorship feature for our Website Service, you must first enable its use for your account.
Enable the animal sponsorships feature
To enable the ability to request sponsorships, go to Animals > Sponsorships > Settings. Tick the radio button to enable sponsorships.
If you want to have recurring donations, you must set up PayPal as an Affiliate. A PayPal business account is required to use recurring payments.
If you are using the Website Service, the Sponsorships functionality allows you to automatically track sponsorships from your website.
If you are using the Data Management Service, you can use the sponsorship feature to enter sponsorships manually.
See Sponsorship Settings in this guide for information about the other advanced elements of the sponsorships feature.
