How-to: Manage Recurring Donations on Your Campaign

Enable recurring donations on your Campaign, cancel existing recurring donations, and access reports.

RallyUp lets you enable Crowdfunding on any fundraising Campaign. If you do, you can allow donors to make recurring donations. You can also control whether donors can give weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly, or you can allow donors to select how often they want to donate.

Understand: Crowdfunding Campaigns vs. Donation Pages

You can even update a donor's payment information or cancel their recurring donation on their behalf. However, please note that only donors themselves have the ability to change the frequency or amount of recurring donations.

Good to Know

  • Canceling a recurring donation will only stop future recurring donations from being made. It will not cancel or refund any previous payments that have already been made.
  • The donor can only change the amount or frequency of a recurring donation upon logging in to their RallyUp account. Due to security and privacy concerns, only the donor themselves can change these settings.
