It’s possible to prefill a form for your donors’ convenience using URL parameters.

This could allow you for example, to:

• Prefill a donor’s name and email address
• Preselect an amount and payment method and skip to the second tab of the form

URL parameters

URL parameters are attached to a URL first via a "?" and then with a "&" for each additional parameter.

For example here is a URL with no parameters attached. https://cms.smartraise.net/donate

Say you want the donation amount "£100" to be selected on the page when the donor clicks your link. All you need to do is add ?amount=100 to the link, and it will preselect that donation button.

https://cms.smartraise.net/donate?amount=100

Now let’s say you also want the payment method to be “Stripe” (Credit or Debit Card) and to jump straight to the second tab:

https://cms.smartraise.net/donate?amount=100&method=stripe&tab=2

Embed codes

URL parameters can be added directly into your form’s embed code. This could be used to prefill fields directly from data in your CMS or CRM system.

To do this, add the URL parameters after the form slug:
