The first step is to view the list you want to add a gift fund to in the List Details screen. Then click the
Add Gift Fund button as highlighted in the image above.
This will bring up the Add Gift Fund screen below:
The second step is to choose an image for your gift fund. You can either go with the pre-selected one, choose
from one of the example images we have provided, upload your own image from your PC or do a search on the internet
for one.
To upload an image just click the Browse button, locate the image on your machine and click Add. You
can also search for an image by phrase (See below). Just type in the product name or description of the image you'd
like to use, click Search and then choose an image from the search results.
After selecting an image for your gift fund you can fill in the rest of the details.
First select a suitable title - 'Honeymoon Gift Fund', 'Savings For Baby', etc
Next you need to enter the PayPal Email Address that you wish to use with this gift fund. It is very important
that you use your PayPal email and not the one that you necessarily used to sign up to Gifts & Lists (Unless they are
the same). We will use this to direct your friends and family to the correct PayPal account when making donations.
You can then add an optional description for your gift fund, maybe explaining where the donations are going towards in more
detail.
Finally, you can set an optional target and progress bar for the gift fund. If you're saving for a new high-definition
television, for example, you might want to set the target as €750 and tick the box to have a progress bar display a visual
representation of the amount donated. If someone was to donate €75 other guests would see that 10% of the target had been
reached. Alternatively you could have the donations and target displayed as text - Set a target and un-check the box for
a progress bar. If you would rather not have any target displayed then simply leave the target blank and nothing will be
displayed to other users - just the option to make a donation.
The image above shows how the different gift fund options appear to guests. The 1st gift fund has a target and a progress
bar (Users can see details of the donations by hovering the mouse over the progress bar), the 2nd has a target set but
no progress bar and the 3rd has no target set at all.
Also note that gift funds look different to other items added to lists - the buttons are green rather than blue, a currency
symbol is displayed in the top-right corner of each gift fund and where no currency is specified a gold coin is displayed
instead.
When you are happy with your selections, simply click the Create Gift Fund button and the gift fund will be added to
your list.
