# Collect donations

> Let attendees add a donation to their order during checkout

Donations let an attendee give an extra amount on top of their ticket price at checkout. It's a natural fit for fundraisers, community events, and any show where regulars want to chip in beyond the ticket.

***

## Turn on donations

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the event's ticket step">
    From `Events`, open the event's `⋯` menu, choose `Edit`, and click `Update and Continue` to reach the **Almost There!** screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find the Donations block">
    It sits below the registration form, above the publish controls.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Switch on Enable Donations">
    The description reads *Allow attendees to make a donation during registration*.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish or update the event">
    Click `Publish` on a new event, or save your changes on a live one.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What attendees see

With donations enabled, the checkout flow offers the option to add a donation alongside the ticket selection. Attendees who skip it check out normally — the ticket price is unaffected.

## Where donations show up

Donation amounts flow into your event's revenue figures. Check them in [Sales reports](/reporting/sales-reports).

<Note>
  Donations are collected through the same Stripe account as your ticket sales, so they arrive on the same payout schedule. See [Payouts](/payments/payouts).
</Note>

## A note on tax

TixFix collects donations on your behalf; it does not issue tax receipts or verify charitable status. If your attendees need a receipt for a tax-deductible gift, arrange that separately through your organization.
