When creating optimized forms, it would be helpful to be able to add custom fields. For example, we are working on an “In Memory of/In Honor of” giving form for our animal hospital and would like to collect additional details, such as the pet’s name and species.
I would love to be able to customize the ability to describe or give instructions for the link where donors select a fund. The little carrot is a big ambiguous, and donors may not know to click on the link to select a fund. Maybe say instead of "your gift will support" , I'd love to be able to customize it to say "Select the fund..." or "Click to choose a fund" or something that's more direct. We have many older donors who may not intuitively know what to do, and enjoy the convenience of online giving.
In the design for simplicity of optimized pages it has removed convenience of a one click step to see if the donor's donation can be matched using a plug in for Double the Donation. This seems to be "optimizing" the opportunity to match your gift right at the time you give it with one quick search vs having to respond to an email which Gen Z'ers are not likely to do.
Hi, Thanks for your idea submission! Can you provide more detail on what additional information you are trying to capture? Is it additional information via custom fields, or more flexibility in field placement?
Given the A/B testing going on with Optimized form and the focus on a streamlined form experience, it is not likely we will add a drag and drop designer like we have in Standard Form. However, we do have 2026 plans to allow addition of custom fields after the donation is made, and to be able to sort the optional fields in the order you want.
