Configuring Make a Pledge
Quick Start
Entering a new fundraising season? Use the Make a Pledge Widget and its simple, customizable interface to help reach your goals! See the Quick Start Guide to get started.
If the shared script hasn't been added to your website, add it to the appropriate webpage, replacing "example-church.com" with the base URL of your church's website.
Create a webpage on your website that will display your Make a Pledge Widget or identify the page on your website where it will be displayed.
Add the Make a Pledge Widget to your church website by placing this snippet of code in the body of your chosen webpages, modifying the required attributes.

Application Labels: Prefer "Total Commitment" to "Total Pledge"? Want to say "Launch Date" instead of "Pledge Start Date"? To make changes, go to and update the appropriate label(s). Note that you are responsible for all translations if the default is not used.
- mpp-pledge-campaign.totalPledgeLabel: Pledge label. The default is "Total Pledge".
- mpp-pledge-campaign.pledgeStartDateLabel: Start Date label. Default is "Pledge Start Date".
