On the note of Tipjoy, thanks for making it. It's allowed me to take donations on my site without which I wouldn't've been able to otherwise (Due to PayPal's onerous terms of service).
:)
- ivankirigin 18y agoThanks for using us! Let us know if you have any ideas on how to improve the site.
- ajkirwin 18y agoI do have a suggestion. Make it so that the amount shown as pledged to a website only includes paid pledges. As it stands, a bunch of people could say, pledge $100/200/whatever each to a cause to make it seem like that cause has already raised a lot of money, causing people who might legitimately donate to go, "Hey, they've already raised loads. I'll give to someone else".
- ivankirigin 18y agoWe've definitely debated this back and forth. You can do this yourself on your site with: http://tipjoy.com/api/#extracting_transaction_data http://tipjoy.com/api/#extracting_transaction_data You can use that feed to show, for example, only the recent paid transactions on your site.
- ajkirwin 18y agoOoh. That'll be useful. I ended up having to make a new account for my latest donation drive, simply because on the last one, I'd taken in maybe.. $150 of paid pledges, but my 'amount' was near $400. :x
- ivankirigin 18y agoYou can make the pledge drive centered around a blog post or twitter account. In the widgets set the targetUrl param, in addition to the user name param. The twitter tools are really useful too: http://tipjoy.com/twittertools http://tipjoy.com/twittertools
