Custom Donation Checkout

hey people of Squarespace, 

I am wondering if there is a way to custom the donation box check-out screen? Currently there is first the email and only afterwards the contribution. However we believe that this might effect conversion rate. 

Is someone able to help? Perhaps with a custom code?

Thank you very much! 

There's nothing you can do about the Squarespace checkout because it is not customisable. The checkout prompts for the email address first so that users on the Advanced Commerce plan can track abandoned transactions and attempt to recover these with follow-up emails.

You can however accept donations without using the checkout by adding the code for a direct payment form. These donations will not be tracked in Squarespace analytics and the donors will not be recorded in Squarespace Accounts, but it is possible. The method will depend on which payment provider you are using.

Hi @paul2009, Thanks so much for your response! 

That sounds like a good compromise! Could you share the custom code for using Stripe checkout? 

Thank you,

Anne

To do this with Stripe you can use a third-party form which you'll add to your page with a Code Block. There are a number of options available. Here are some examples:
