This guide walks you through the simple steps to install your GiveGenius donation link into a button on your website so donors can give seamlessly using a variety of methods.
Go to https://charity.givewise.ca and log in with your credentials. If you need help accessing your account, email us at charitysupport@givewise.ca.
Click on the “GiveGenius” tab in the left-hand menu once you're logged in.
Copy your unique donation URL. It will look like this:
https://fund.givewise.ca/gift/charity/XXXXXXX
You can preview the link to ensure it's working.
Customize Your Donation Link - Under Customize Your Giving Options, simply toggle off the payment methods you don’t want to display.
This allows you to highlight only the donation options you want GiveWise to process while continuing to handle your other giving methods directly.
Choose the page or section on your website where you’d like to add the donation button (e.g. “Ways to Give” page or homepage banner).
If you're using a website builder like Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or similar:
Go to the editing panel for that page.
Click on the button element you want to update or add.
Paste your GiveGenius link into the “URL” or “Link” field.
Make sure the link is set to open in a new tab (this is usually a toggle setting).
Choose a label that fits your audience. Common options include:
Donate Now
Give Through GiveWise
Other Ways to Give
Make a Strategic Gift
Once you’ve added the link, click Save or Publish to make your changes live.
Please note: If you're looking for inspiration on how to talk about “Ways to Give” on your donation page, this resource might be helpful: Adding GiveWise to Your Donation Page
You can also hyperlink your GiveGenius donation link behind images, banners, or text throughout your site — anywhere hyperlinks are allowed.
Let us know once it’s live — or if you need help getting started.
