How to create a goal

A goal is one thing you are raising for, shown as a bar on your page with a number under it. Goals live on the Goals screen in your dashboard.

Press Add a goal and fill in the form.

Title

Up to 60 characters, and it is the whole pitch. "New microphone fund" works. "Support" does not, because it says nothing your page does not already say.

Target

The amount you are aiming at. Whole rupees.

Pick a number you can actually reach. A bar sitting at four percent for three months tells everybody who visits that nobody else is giving either.

Description

Up to 280 characters, and optional. This is where the detail goes: what the money buys, why now, what happens when it is done.

Cover image

Optional. A picture of the thing, or of the work the thing is for.

Deadline

Optional. If you set one, the page shows how long is left. Leaving it empty is fine and is the right choice for anything ongoing.

What it costs

Whether you set a deadline or not, a goal does nothing to the money. Payments still go straight to your UPI ID. The bar is a count of the supports you have approved.

Turning it on

New goals are on by default. The switch on the card takes it off your page without deleting it, which is what you want between two campaigns.

Free pages show one goal at a time. See Running more than one goal.
