You can use eCardWidget to allow donors to send personalized, branded eCards after completing a donation through Raiser's Edge NXT. This guide will show you three easy ways to link or embed your eCardWidget into your giving experience.


Can I Add eCards to My Raiser's Edge NXT Giving Process?

Yes! While Raiser's Edge doesn’t support embedded <script> tags directly in donation forms, there are multiple ways to offer donors a seamless eCard experience — either by linking from confirmation screens, emails, or embedding directly on your website with full payment integration.


Steps to Add eCardWidget to Raiser's Edge NXT

Option 1: Add eCard Link to the Confirmation Page

  1. In eCardWidget, go to the Widget Editor, open the Share tab, and copy the Public Link. It will look something like this:
    https://app.ecardwidget.com/w/wtrx8dpjx7q

  2. In Raiser's Edge NXT, edit the confirmation message that appears after a donation is submitted.

  3. Add a message like this:
    “Want to send a thank-you or tribute eCard to someone special? Click here to send a card

  4. Save your changes and do a test donation to confirm the link appears and functions correctly.


Option 2: Add the eCard Link to the Confirmation Email

  1. In Raiser's Edge NXT, open the editor for your donation confirmation email.

  2. Add a sentence like this to the email body:
    “Celebrate your gift with a personalized eCard: Send a card

  3. Save your changes and test the email.


Option 3: Embed the eCard Form + Donation Checkout on Your Website

For the most seamless and branded experience, you can create a dedicated eCard donation landing page on your own website and embed your eCardWidget directly using the HTML embed code.

  • This version includes our integrated donation form, powered by Stripe.

  • Donors can choose from multiple preset donation amounts or enter a custom value.

  • After donating, they can immediately personalize and send an eCard.

  • The system automatically sends email receipts, tracks eCard engagement, and supports CRM integrations for syncing donor data.

To do this:

  1. Create a page on your website (e.g. /send-a-tribute-card)

  2. Copy your eCardWidget Embed Code from the Share tab in the Widget Editor

  3. Paste it into your webpage where you'd like the eCard form + donation form to appear

  4. Connect your Stripe account in the eCardWidget dashboard if you haven't already

This option works well for in-honor-of donations, tribute gifts, or seasonal giving campaigns and provides your donors with a smooth, on-site experience from donation to recognition.


You're All Set!

Whichever method you choose, eCardWidget helps your donors celebrate their generosity in a more personal and meaningful way — turning every gift into a shared moment.
