State-level Candidates can now use Slate Pages and Upsells on WinRed! These allow donors to give to multiple State-level organizations at once. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get started.
Note: We recommend consulting with your counsel before using this feature to determine whether it triggers additional fundraising requirements or registrations.
Adding Other Candidates to Your Pages
Click the Pages tab and then the My Pages tab at the top of your screen. Click on the page you'd like to edit.
Navigate to the Committees tab.
Click the green Add Committee button to add another committee to the page.
From there, search in the search bar and find the committee that you'd like to add.
To remove a committee from your page, simply click the x on the right side of your screen.
Adding Other Candidates to Upsells
State-level candidates can be added to Donation and Panel Upsells.
If multiple charges are created on a State-level base page, the following Upsells are skipped:
Double Donation
Recurring Upsell
The recurring button may be included on the base landing page. When a donor opts into a recurring subscription on a State-level base landing page, individual subscriptions are created for all candidates associated with that page.
Donors are able to create a subscription with a single donation only. Multiple subscriptions on a page are not allowed.
Limits on Adding Candidates
How Many Candidates Can You Add
Users may add no more than 5 State-level candidates to a page. Users who add less than 5 State-level candidates may add an unlimited number of federal candidates to the same page.
