Donation Tiers Card Widget

How it works

Each tier is one line - amount | label | what it pays for - so 25 | Friend | A full food parcel becomes a selectable card. Amounts may carry a symbol or code (£25, 25.00 USD); grouping commas are accepted, negatives, zero, values above 10 million and the ambiguous 1,5 are refused, and duplicates are dropped. Selecting a tier, or typing an Other amount, rewrites the Donate link. If you name your page's amount parameter, for example amount, the link becomes https://your-site/donate?amount=25; 12.5 is written 12.50 and never grouped, an existing query string is kept, and a parameter of the same name is replaced rather than repeated. The name itself must be a plain token - letters, digits, _ . - and brackets - so amount&admin=1 is ignored. A Monthly switch appears only when you give a second page for recurring gifts. Raised and goal figures are drawn as a meter whose fill stops at 100 percent while the text keeps the real share, and are labelled as reported by the organiser.

Method

• Tier line: amount | label | description; amount = number after stripping a leading or trailing currency symbol or code; 0 < amount <= 10,000,000; at most 6 tiers
• Donate link = your https page + ?<parameter>=<amount> (WHATWG URLSearchParams); amount written as an integer or with exactly 2 decimals
• Parameter name must match ^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_.\-\[\]]{0,39}$ or no amount is appended
• Progress = raised / goal x 100; bar fill = min(100, progress)

Worked examples

Gift Aid, tax-deductibility and charity-status statements are the publisher's responsibility; the card shows only the wording you enter.

Limitations

• The card cannot confirm a payment, show a live total or thank a donor by name - those happen on your provider's page.
• Amount pre-filling works only if your donation provider reads an amount from the address; many do not.
• One currency per card, set in the builder; a donor paying in another currency sees your amounts converted only on your provider's checkout, if at all.

Where publishers use it

• A food bank or animal shelter appeal page that wants 10 / 25 / 50 tiers explained in plain words
• A podcaster or open-source maintainer asking for monthly support through Ko-fi, Patreon-style or Stripe Payment Links
• A school PTA or sports club raising money for one project with a visible goal
• A church or mosque giving page that links to an existing online giving provider
• An emergency appeal banner on a news or community site that sends readers to the charity's own checkout
