Frequently Asked Questions

What are the fees to use Mazlo's Donation Campaigns

Mazlo charges 2.9% + $0.20 per card payment for most card brands. For American Express, the fees are 3.9% + $0.20 per card payment. There is a $15 fee for chargebacks.

How do Donation Campaigns show up in reports or exports?

Exports and rollups can include a Donation Campaign field (the campaign name) so finance and development can tie transactions back to the right appeal or link.

How do offline or external gifts count toward a campaign?

Staff can record external transactions against a campaign (for example checks or gifts processed outside the default flow). Those can appear in totals and exports alongside online activity, depending on configuration.

What happens if we need to pause a campaign without deleting it?

Campaigns can be placed in maintenance mode. Visitors to the public link then see a temporary-unavailable message instead of the donation form. You can also archive campaigns you no longer promote; listing tools can hide archived campaigns by default.

Can donors dedicate a gift or leave a note?

Campaign settings can control dedications and whether a payment note is optional or required. You can also require a full mailing address when that fits your compliance or acknowledgment workflow.

What payment options can donors use?

Campaigns support configurable donation types (presets) and rules for how amounts are chosen: presets only, custom only, or both. Recurring giving can be allowed or turned off, with frequencies such as monthly, quarterly, or annual when enabled.

Where does the money go?

Each campaign is tied to a payout financial unit (for example your organization or a specific project). Default accounting and optional program code settings help classify revenue correctly. If your org requires a default program code on campaigns, you must set one before the campaign can be created.

Can I set a fundraising goal?

Yes. You can configure an optional goal amount and, when you use a goal window, a start date so progress can reflect "raised since" that date. Totals can combine banked gifts, external/offline entries, and amounts still in flight (for example pending processor or DAF activity), consistent with what staff see in donation settings.

How do donors reach my campaign?

Each campaign has a public donation URL (a unique path/slug). You share that link on your website, email, or social posts. Donors complete payment on Mazlo's donation experience tied to that link.

What is a Donation Campaign?

A Donation Campaign is a dedicated fundraising page for a specific appeal or program. It has its own name, public link, branding and copy (including optional hero image or video), and settings for how donors give (amounts, one-time vs recurring, dedications, and so on). Donations through that page are attributed to that campaign for reporting and exports.
