How do we set up the matching gift search tool on our website?
Your 360MatchPro account comes with a plugin that donors can use to search for their company's matching gift program. Embedding this plugin on your website for all donors to access is essential for spreading awareness of matching gifts!
Install Matching Gift Search Plugin
We highly recommend installing the matching gift plugin to a dedicated matching gift page on your organization's website. Detailed instructions for creating this dedicated matching gift page can be found here.
Within your 360MatchPro account, you can access the HTML code that you will use to embed the matching gift plugin on your organization's website.
Find the plugin code by following these steps:
- Log in to 360MatchPro.
- Navigate to "Settings" --> "Plugin Settings".
- Scroll to the Plugin Embed Code on the page (shown below).
To ensure our plugin can be added to your website we provide multiple options:
- Plugin HTML code - Copy and paste this into the appropriate spots on your own website
- iFrame Code - Copy and paste this into the appropriate spots on your own website
- Wordpress - If your organization's website uses Wordpress CMS, we provide a Wordpress Integration Guide that walks you through the set up process where you use the Wordpress Plugin on your organization's website instead. Access Double the Donation's Wordpress Plugin or view our Wordpress Integration Guide.
Our Recommended Approach is to use the HTML code first. There are some software platforms that may strip some of the HTML code causing the plugin to not appear correctly. In this case, try using the iframe code where you want our plugin to appear on your page instead.
Email Instructions to Webmaster
