Anonymous Donation Field

The Anonymous Donation field allows donors to choose whether their donation should remain anonymous.

When enabled, donors can hide their identity from public-facing donation displays while still completing the donation process normally.

This option helps provide privacy and flexibility for donors who prefer not to publicly display their contribution.

Common use cases include:

• Allowing private donations
• Protecting donor identity
• Supporting confidential contributions
• Giving donors more control over visibility

Example:

Public donor list:

Anonymous – $100

Instead of:

John Smith – $100

Note: Anonymous donations only affect donor visibility where supported. Donation records and administrative details may still remain available in the dashboard.
