❗ Important Note: The New Giving Form is currently in Early Access. If you are not part of the Early Access program this is not applicable to you at this time.
Adding a giving button to your website doesn't have to be difficult or confusing! You can either use the direct link that takes people to your dedicated online giving form or you can embed your Tithe.ly giving form right into your website using your embed code.
User Permissions needed to access Giving
Account Owner, Admin, or Limited Access with access granted to the Giving Product. If you have additional questions please reference this article.
Using Your Giving Form Embed Code
Please Note: Before attempting to embed a code on your website please make sure your Squarespace website subscription allows for custom code. If it does not you will need to use the Direct Website Giving Link method #2 on this article or upgrade your subscription.
It is also important to know if your website is SSL secure. If your site does not has SSL security the Tithely giving button will warn users that the site may not be secure. You can tell is your site has SSL Security if it starts with HTTPS. If your site only starts with HTTP you do not have this and will need to contact your website provider.

-
Click on the "Giving Form" tab in the left menu.

A text box will appear. Erase all the text that is inside and paste your code from Tithely.

Click save and the giving button will appear!
Please Note: In editor mode within SquareSpace it may show an error code that says ‘Previewing in safe mode’ this will not appear on the published page. Please open another tab and view your website as a user to see what the giving button looks like.
Using Direct Website Giving Link
If you cannot or don't want to use the embedded method, you can copy your dedicated Tithely giving form URL from the same page that you copied the Embed Code from:
Your Direct Giving Link can either be used on social media, through newsletters, pasted anywhere on your site, or if your site allows, it can be added as a button.
Just add the direct giving link in the URL dedicated section and click save.
