How to add a donation button to Cargo
Add a CrowdCreate fundraising widget to your Cargo site with a Code Block. Funders pledge on your page, and the money lands in your own Stripe account.
What you need on Cargo
Cargo lets you drop custom HTML into a page via its Code element / HTML block, available to sites on a paid Cargo Subscription. If your Cargo site is on the free trial or unpaid, custom code won't run on the published site — share your hosted page at crowdcreate.app/c/your-name instead, which works regardless of your Cargo plan.
The exact line you'll paste
This is the whole install — one script tag. Your version arrives with your own site ID the moment you sign up; the steps below show where it goes in Cargo.
<script async src="https://crowdcreate.app/embed/v1.js" data-site-id="your-site-id" integrity="sha384-5uncKSka6ObaFVcYkRYEIlufPx0xNsoxnp3qQmYhm0wzYIdKgBny8pOkPgWNUyt+" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>This is the exact snippet — you get yours, with your own site ID, free after signup.
Step by step
- 1In the Cargo editor, open the page where you want the widget and click the + button to add an element.
- 2Choose Code (sometimes labelled "HTML") and paste your CrowdCreate snippet into the editor (copy it from your dashboard — it's tied to your account).
- 3Click outside the block to save, then position it where you want the donation card to appear.
- 4Publish or update your site, open the live URL, and make a $1 test pledge to confirm it works.

Common questions
Do I need a paid plan on Cargo?
It depends. Some Cargo plans restrict custom code or embeds, so the inline widget may need a higher tier. If yours doesn't allow it, the hosted donation page works on any plan — you just link to it instead of embedding.
Where does the money go?
Into your own Stripe account, directly. CrowdCreate never holds or routes your donations — Stripe pays out to your bank on your schedule.
What does it cost?
$20/mo flat. No percentage of donations, no per-transaction fee from us. Cancel anytime, with a 30-day refund.
