Text Field in SureDonation

The Text field allows you to collect custom text-based information from donors during the donation process.

This block can be used to capture additional details beyond the default donor information fields and helps personalize or extend your donation forms.

Example uses include:

• Collecting donor’s full name
• Asking for dedication or memorial messages
• Capturing organization or company names
• Requesting campaign-specific information
• Collecting volunteer interest details

The Text block displays a standard input field within the donation form.
