# Donation form query parameters

The Save the Children donation experience supports a handful of URL parameters that toggle specific behaviors in Luminate Online donation forms. These parameters are appended to the base form URL and read during page initialization. The following examples use the standard monthly form URL, https://support.savethechildren.org/site/Donation2?df_id=1620&1620.donation=form1.

# Supported parameters

Parameter Accepted values Description
monthly true, false, none Override the donation type preselection. true ensures the monthly gift option is selected; false forces a one-time gift on forms that default to recurring; none removes any auto-selection so the donor must choose.
tip-up-checked true, false Sets the default checked state of the “cover transaction fees” checkbox.
tip-up false Hides the tip-up component entirely when present on the form. This is typically used when a campaign requires removing the fee-cover module without changing the underlying form configuration.
set.ShowHonorFields true Automatically expands the “Make this gift in honor or memory of someone” section by simulating a click on the dedication checkbox when the page loads.

# Usage examples

Append the parameters to the base form URL as needed. Examples:

  • https://support.savethechildren.org/site/Donation2?df_id=1620&1620.donation=form1&monthly=false
  • https://support.savethechildren.org/site/Donation2?df_id=1620&1620.donation=form1&tip-up-checked=true
  • https://support.savethechildren.org/site/Donation2?df_id=1620&1620.donation=form1&tip-up=false
  • https://support.savethechildren.org/site/Donation2?df_id=1620&1620.donation=form1&set.ShowHonorFields=true

Parameters can be combined; when multiple overrides are provided they will all apply so long as the form supports the feature being toggled.
