Giving and tips

The player can show a giving button that opens your own giving or tips page — whichever giving service you already use. Cardinal never handles the gift; the button simply takes the viewer to your page, in a new tab, so the stream keeps playing.

In the console, under Account → Player, enter your giving page’s address (it must start with https://) and, if you like, the button’s text — for example Give, Tithe or Support us (up to 30 characters). With the API, set giving_url and giving_label with PUT /v1/player.

Leave the address blank and there is no giving button — the player works exactly the same without one.

Each of your customers can send viewers to its own giving page, use yours, or show no giving button at all (for a customer that collects gifts some other way): choose Player beside the customer in the console, or set giving_url / giving_on with PUT /v1/customers/{customer_ref}/player.
