Is there reporting that shows plugin usage?

This feature is currently only available for nonprofits using the 360MatchPro Legacy Plan.

We provide reporting that shows how often our plugin was used on your website by donors. Once you have set up our tools on your website, you can access the plugin usage statistics directly from your Double the Donation account portal.

Q: If I have the plugin on multiple pages (up to 5) on our nonprofit's website, can I include more than one URL in my Double the Donation account to track the usage on multiple pages?
A: Right now, we ask for just one URL where you've embedded our plugin. The reason is that our system scans that page once a day to ensure that our plugin is set up correctly. This is why we recommend putting the most popular URL in that URL box within your account. However, the plugin usage statistics provide a total number of each page where you have our plugin embedded, due to the API Key within our HTML code. 

Q: What can I do with this plugin usage statistics?
A: We provide these plugin usage statistics to give you more insight into how your donors are interacting with the plugin on your website. This shows that there is an ROI of our matching gift tools. We see our customers with high ROI of our tools market matching gifts in multiple locations. You can embed our plugin on up to 5 pages on your organization's website.
