Step-by-Step: Integrate Double the Donation Matching into Luminate Online
Phase 1: Create the custom field
Step 1 — Open Donation Form Management
In Luminate Online:
-
Navigate to Donation Management
-
Select Create a Donation Form or open an existing form
-
Click Design → Edit Donation Form

Step 2 — Add a New Field
-
Go to Configure Donation Levels
-
Click New to add a field

Step 3 — Configure the Field
-
Create a new field and name it exactly as follows: Double the Donation Company ID

-
Select the newly created field (Double the Donation Company ID) and move it to the right-hand column by clicking Add.
-
Click Save Order and Edit Selected.
-
Uncheck the following options:
-
Yes, this field is visible
-
Yes, this field is visible in the transaction summary
-
-
Click Finish.

This process adds a hidden field to the page, which is used behind the scenes to capture and store the company information that users search for—without displaying it to donors.
Phase 2: Determining the value of the custom field
Step 4 — Locate the Custom String
-
Navigate to Design Donor Screens
-
Click Edit on the Thank You Page

-
Open the Plain Text Editor

-
Click the first dropdown and select Other.

-
Insert Donation Custom Fields → Double_the_Donation_Company_ID



- Copy the resulting string formatted like: [[S120:dc:custom:custom_stringXXX]]
- Exit out of the field without saving; you only need to save [[S120:dc:custom:custom_stringXXX]] to your clipboard for the next phase of this integration.
Phase 3: Set up Double the Donation code snippets in Luminate Pages
You will need to set up two different reusable code snippets to use on multiple forms. Create the following two Luminate Reusable Pages (one for the donation form and one for the confirmation page) with the corresponding code:
Streamlined search tool: reus_360matchpro_donation_widget
Confirmation page plugin: reus_360matchpro_confirmation_page
This name will align with the code blocks available within your Double the Donation Matching account. The steps to add each reusable page are illustrated below.
Step 5 — Create the Donation Widget Page
-
Navigate to Fundraising → PageBuilder

-
Click Create a New Page

-
Name it:
reus_360matchpro_donation_widget
-
Check This is a reusable page
-
Click Next
-
Set the Version Name to “Double the Donation - current date, v1" →

-
Click Publish Now.

-
Click Edit Content.

-
Click Double Arrow button → Select the HTML Content.

-
Click Plain Text.

Step 6 — Paste the Streamlined Search Code
In Double the Donation Matching:
-
Go to Settings → API Keys → Embed Codes for Setup
-
Select Luminate Online / Convio
-
Copy the streamlined search tool code

-
Paste it into the Plain Text Editor of the reusable page and click Save.

Step 7 — Create the Confirmation Widget Page
Repeat the steps above to create:
-
Page name:
reus_360matchpro_confirmation_page -
Paste the confirmation-page widget code

-
Replace the placeholder with the copied custom string value

-
Click Save
These two reusable pages can now be added to your donation forms and confirmation/Thank You pages by following Phases 4 and 5 below.
Phase 4: Adding a streamlined company search on the donation form
Step 8 — Place the Widget
-
Edit your donation form

-
Move Double the Donation Company ID to the right column → Click Save Order and Edit Selected → Uncheck the box next to Yes, this field is visible.

-
Add an HTML Caption field
-
Select reusable page:
reus_360matchpro_donation_widget -
Place it in the billing section

Result
-
Employer search appears on the donation form

Q: I integrate with Luminate and Blackbaud RE-NXT CRM. How can I prevent Luminate donations from being duplicated in Double the Donation Matching?
