Adding Gamification Badges
Add Gamification badges to your fundraiser's individual and team pages, that trigger based on an action or achievement.
What is it?
Gamification badges are customised icons/badges that are triggered by milestones or achievements that are reached by teams or individuals and appear on fundraising pages.
What are the benefits of using it?
Gamification on fundraising pages can help facilitate healthy fundraising and act as an incentive for teams and individuals
Enabling Gamification
The use of gamification badges can be enabled on both individual and team fundraising pages. To enable gamification go to:
Platform Setup > Fundraising Options > select either Individuals or Teams > scroll down to the Gamification tab.
Tick the checkbox to enable gamification, rename the section if you wish and define the layout. The default number is 6 for desktop and 2 for mobile.
Adding Badges
Badges can be added at Platform level, Event level and within a DIY theme.
- Platform level: Will apply to all online events
- Event level: Will only apply to that specific event and override anything set at platform level
- DIY theme: Will only apply to pages created within that theme
Adding Badges at the Platform Level
Navigate to:
Platform Setup > Fundraising options > Individuals > Add New Badge
If you'd like to add for a team page, toggle to the Teams tab.
Clicking on the Add New Badge button will load up a screen like below where you can define your reward settings with the following options.

Event > Advanced Options > Gamification.

Advanced Tips
Having gamification badges on fundraising pages are a great way to promote healthy fundraising, however, you might also want to consider matching up your reward badges with Fundraising Triggers so you can let the fundraiser know when they have earned a badge.
