What's inside
A donor sees one question, answers it and moves on, with full-width targets on a phone. Here is question 1, where the gift is decided.
1 →
$50 covers a week of groceries for one family.

The full question list
Questions 2 and 7 stay hidden until logic calls them, so most donors see eight screens. Delete any question, add another question type or drag the order around.
Before you publish
A donation form sits between deciding to give and the gift arriving. Ask only what you will use, in the order a donor already thinks in.
The amount is the one answer a donor arrives with. Opening with name fields puts paperwork in front of the decision; opening with the amount makes the first tap a small commitment. More on question order in our form design best practices.
Three presets and an open option is the right shape. Put the amount you most want in the middle and tie it to something concrete in the help text: “$50 covers a week of groceries for one family” beats any adjective. Match the presets on your payment page, because the donor sees them twice.
Plenty of donation pages arrive with monthly already ticked. Upform's Yes/No starts with nothing chosen, so the donor makes the call, and the answer gives you a list of people who meant to give monthly, to check against the recurring gifts in your processor.
A name and an email are enough to thank someone and match the pledge to the payment; the email is checked when the donor presses Next. Skip phone and postal address unless you will use them soon, and watch your completion rate after adding any field.
Question 8 asks whether donors want a formal receipt from you, separate from the processor's payment email. In the US, a donor needs your written acknowledgment to deduct any single gift of $250 or more, so send one for those gifts whatever the answer. UK charities can reword it as a Gift Aid declaration in HMRC's model wording, with an Address question shown only on a Yes, since a declaration needs a home address.
Question 9 is a separate Yes/No with nothing pre-selected. Under the GDPR a pre-ticked box is not consent, and neither is a newsletter bundled into the gift. Say in the help text what you will send and how often. More in our guide to GDPR compliant forms.
Getting the gift paid
Upform takes no payments and processes no cards. The form records the pledge; the money moves through the donation page you already have.
Your pledge is saved. Complete your gift on our secure donation page, which opens in a new tab.
The pledge is saved as this screen appears. The button opens your donation page in a new tab.
In the Thank You settings, set the redirect link to your Donorbox form, PayPal donate page or Stripe Payment Link, and relabel the button. It is one link per form and carries no answers, so the donor enters the amount again there.
If your processor needs a separate page for recurring gifts, clone the form, delete question 3 from each copy and point each Thank You button at its own page. Then link the two forms from your site as Give once and Give monthly.
Point the button back to your website and put your bank details in the Thank You text. Ask donors to use their email as the payment reference so each transfer matches its pledge.

Already wired in
Two rules ship switched on, in the same Logic panel every form uses: AND/OR conditions, 20 operators and four actions (show, hide, jump and end form).
Question 1 offers $25, $50, $100 and Another amount. Pick the last one and question 2 appears, a Number field for the figure the donor has in mind. Everyone else goes straight to question 3.
Question 6 asks whether the gift is in honor or in memory of someone. A Yes shows question 7, a Long Text for the dedication message. A No moves the donor on without an empty box.
Add your own on top: a greater than rule on the open amount can show a thank-you Statement to major donors. Every operator is on the conditional logic page.
After the submit
Every pledge lands in your responses table with search, date filters, CSV export and a drawer holding each answer, and Contacts counts each donor's submissions so repeat givers stand out.
Google SheetsAppends each pledge as a row

MailchimpAdds donors to an audience, with tags

HubSpotCreates or updates the donor contact
n8nSigned webhook, filter on consent firstA note on consent: the Mailchimp and Klaviyo connections add everyone who submits to the list you pick, whatever they answered at question 9. Mailchimp's double opt-in switch means nobody is subscribed until they confirm by email, but a donor who said No still gets that email. To keep only the Yes answers, route responses through n8n or a webhook and filter first. Each uses your own account; the full list is on the integrations page.

EventsYes, and it stays free. Cloning the template, publishing it and collecting pledges all sit on the Upform free plan, which caps neither forms nor responses. Your published form carries a small Upform mark; Pro is $12 a month and removes it, lifts the 100 MB storage limit and adds up to five team members.
No. Upform has no payment field and never handles a card or a bank account. The form records the pledge, then the button on the Thank You screen opens the donation page you already use, such as a Donorbox form, a PayPal donate page or a Stripe Payment Link, in a new tab.
No. The Thank You button opens one fixed link per form and passes no answers along, so the donor enters the amount again. Use the same preset amounts on both pages and the second step reads as a confirmation.
Question 3 asks whether the gift should repeat each month, and the answer sits on every response. The recurring payment itself is set up on your processor's page. If it needs separate pages for one-time and monthly gifts, clone the form once for each, point each Thank You button at its own page and link both forms from your site.
Yes. Question 6 asks whether the gift is a dedication, and a logic rule shows a Long Text for the message only to donors who answer Yes. The message lands on the response, ready for your acknowledgment card or honor roll.
Yes, if you connect them directly. Both connections send everyone who submits the form to one list, whatever they answer at question 9. To add only the donors who said Yes, route responses through n8n or a webhook and filter on that answer, or filter the CSV export and import the result.
