Hello: I'm hoping to enable donations on a Squarespare site for a small Kenyan CBO (Community Based Organization) that works to help Maasai individuals living with disability get access to healthcare and mobility. The founder is a trusted manager of the Maasai programs for an NGO work for; the CBO is a volunteer effort he runs in his spare time. Stripe does not yet support Kenyan currency, but it appears from their documentation that a Squarespace website can connect and solely use PayPal as a payment processor to accept payments; that PayPal does support Kenyan currency (Ksh); and that it's possible to connect Paypal Mobile Money Service with MPesa, which is the primary and often only way that people and community organizations in the remote communities in this region can accept and transfer money: https://www.paypal.com/ke/cshelp/article/what-is-paypal-mobile-money-service-with-m-pesa-help1010th I'm curious if anyone else designing a Squarespace site has set up payment via this process for a Kenyan based organization and has any insights or tips to share? Thank you, in advance, for your time and assistance. Kind regards- Kate

Thanks, Paul. We suspected we might be in over our heads and very much appreciate this insight and your directness. You were also incredibly helpful with another query I posted last year; saving months of frustration and work. Likely you've done so again. 🙏

Site URL: https://forthegood.org/mapbox-test Hello: We are a nonprofit organization that has recently begun learning Mapbox in order to create a clickable map that shows the locations of our programs and new schools in rural Kenya. We have created a basic map and successfully embedded it into a Code block in Squarespace with iFrames using the code Mapbox provided- you can view that page here. We now hope to add interactivity to the map so that when you click on the location of a school, you see a pop up that shares the name of the school and a description and link to another extended page of information. Mapbox provides an excellent tutorial on this: https://docs.mapbox.com/help/tutorials/add-points-pt-3/. We are now working to understand how to 1: Place our own Kenyan Schools Map Style into the code to replace the Chicago map example & 2: Embed this code into the map page on our Squarespace site. The process we used for our original map without Pop-ups - i.e.-embedding via the iFrames- will not support the Javascript, so it is necessary to embed the complete code. When we insert the code provided by Mapbox's "Chicago Parks" example into a Code block on our test page, we don't see anything. We are able to successfully embed it into the Page Header Code Injection under the "Settings" > "Advanced" > "Page Header Code Injection", but then we see it in the Header and Footer section (see attached screenshot) instead of in a Code block in the body section where we want it. The code that we used, provided by Mapbox for this example, is below my signature. We'd be so grateful to anyone who has experience with successfully embedding an interactive map from Mapbox into a specific page on their Squarespace site and would be willing to share the exact steps here. We are photojournalists and designers, well familiar with Squarespace but only slightly familiar with HTML and Javascript- though always eager to learn. Thanks so very much! Kind regards Kate MAPBOX CODE- CHICAGO MAPS POP UP POINTS EXAMPLE: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>Demo: Add points to a web map</title> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" /> <script src="https://api.tiles.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/v2.6.1/mapbox-gl.js"></script> <link href="https://api.tiles.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/v2.6.1/mapbox-gl.css" rel="stylesheet" /> <style> body { margin: 0; padding: 0; } #map { position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; width: 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="map"></div> <script> mapboxgl.accessToken = 'pk.eyJ1Ijoia2F0ZWJsYWNrIiwiYSI6ImNrcjVyenZwazFiY3kyd3BkM2IxdmlubzYifQ.ocj6I03cHMQdA_rLB9GRqw'; const map = new mapboxgl.Map({ container: 'map', style: 'mapbox://styles/examples/cjgiiz9ck002j2ss5zur1vjji', center: [-87.661557, 41.893748], zoom: 10.7 }); map.on('click', (event) => { const features = map.queryRenderedFeatures(event.point, { layers: ['chicago-parks'] }); if (!features.length) { return; } const feature = features[0]; const popup = new mapboxgl.Popup({ offset: [0, -15] }) .setLngLat(feature.geometry.coordinates) .setHTML( `<h3>${feature.properties.title}</h3><p>${feature.properties.description}</p>` ) .addTo(map); }); </script> </body> </html>

Changing Donation Confirmation
Kate_Black-2021 replied to kindandbrave's topic in Customize with code
@kindandbrave: Thanks for this question. I am also struggling with this on a website I'm currently building pro bono for an author and related non profit that he's launching. After many rounds with Squarespace Support it does appear that at this time, it's not possible to customize any copy on the donation confirmation page. Our key challenge with this is that this page currently pulls the Site title, instead of the Donation Title, into the confirmation description, and the Site Title on this site is the author's name –– very different than the actual recipient of the funds, which is actually an organization soon to get 501 (C)3 funding. Because it is possible to customize every other notification in the Order/Donation Confirmation communications stream with the name of the actual recipient of the donation -the Donation Title, as opposed to the Site Title (which Squarespace has chosen to program into this final step of the order communication stream within the website itself but then not let you edit), this creates significant discrepancy and confusion for donors as to who/what they are donating to. As someone who has worked in marketing and fundraising for non-profits for a decade, I will offer that this is a serious problem. In this instance, particularly, it's also awkward and uncomfortable, as for a transitory moment the donor may think they are actually donating to an individual instead of the organization, despite the fact that in every other confirmation throughout their process, and in our customized Donor email confirmation- they are reassured that they are contributing to the organization itself. After many (many) rounds with Squarespace Support on this issue over the past week, I Googled it externally and found an incredible and thoughtful resource in a Squarespace Consulting group in Ireland called SFDigital . They are vetted through Squarespace and the key partner, Paul, @paul2009 works with Squarespace's through their "Hire an Expert" programme. He was incredibly helpful, savvy to the challenge and kind enough to actually spend some time offering a few free thoughts on the matter via Chat. SFDigital's thought –– if I am paraphrasing correctly, as I am a photojournalist, designer and fundraiser and not a developer –– is this is perhaps a bug in Squarespace's programming in that they are correctly using the designated Donation Title on all other donation page communications and the email confirmation, but defaulting inappropriately to the Site Title, for some reason, on the Thank You page. I also tried the work-around of using a Javascript snippet to redirect to a different customized unlinked confirmation page by injecting the code into the Order Confirmation section, which didn't work. Thanks to @Airwards, it looks like this may actually work if it is injected into the Header instead; we'll give it a go. REFERENCE: Site URL: https://rogerpbriggs.org/ Attachments: For clarification of the explanation above and to visually show the donor's confusing experience, I've attached a series of screenshots of the checkout and confirmation process of a donor making a contribution to this site. They clearly show the Donation Title in all places until the final Thank You confirmation, and are attached in the order that a donor will see them. The final screenshot is a capture of the back end of the Donation Confirmation EMAIL that donors receive in their own inbox after they may a donation- as opposed to the immediate uneditable pop up "THANK YOU" message/Donation Confirmation PAGE they see on the site (as shown in the fourth screenshot attachment.) This back end view seems to clearly show that there is a tag for a Donation Title, as opposed to a Site Title, that is being used in other elements of the Order Confirmation process. Thanks to all who have additional thoughts to contribute on how to resolve this issue! Kind regards- Late
