You can collect donations with Wintix and Webtix two ways: by setting up a show or a season package.

While either way works, we recommend that you set up your donations as a season package, so you don’t have to add a date. Season package setups are not date-specific while adding single events are date-specific. Wintix requires that you choose a date when adding a donation event under a single ticket event.
In this post, we’ll show you how to set it up both ways.
Set up donations as a show
To set up your donation event as a single event, in Wintix:
- Click on Show | Utilities | Add a new show
- Once you’ve added the show, you can complete the rest of the steps. See the screen shot below showing what the single event Donation Testing looks like. Notice there is a date of December 31, 2020. When setting up this kind of event as a single show, you would need to add a date in the future, preferably the last day of your regular season.
- Make sure you set the event type as “Donation”
Set up donations as a season package
To enter a Donation event as a season ticket package:
- Click on Show |Utilities | Add a new season package
Fill out the Title and Abbreviation fields and click on the Create package button
The screen below shows what you see when clicking on Show | Edit a season package and choose Donation Season.
- Make sure you set the event type as “Donation”
You can see what this looks like online by visiting our Webtix demo:
