How to add a donation button to Format

Add a CrowdCreate fundraising widget to your Format portfolio with an HTML block. Funders pledge on your page, and the money lands in your own Stripe account.

What you need on Format

Format runs custom HTML on its Pro and Pro Plus plans — the Basic plan doesn't include HTML editing, so the widget won't load there. If you're on Basic, upgrade to Pro, or share your hosted page at crowdcreate.app/c/your-name, which works on any Format plan and is a clean fit for a portfolio link in your bio or footer.

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 Format.

<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

  1. 1In the Format editor, open the page and click Add Section.
  2. 2Under Media, choose the HTML block.
  3. 3Paste your CrowdCreate snippet into the block (copy it from your dashboard — it's tied to your account).
  4. 4Save, then open your live portfolio and make a $1 test pledge to confirm it works.

Common questions

Do I need a paid plan on Format?

It depends. Some Format 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?
