HOW DO I HARNESS MY WEBSITE?

  1. Floating "Donate" Button + Partner Example ⭐ BEST!
    > Found in your Admin Dashboard here under Settings > Website Code
    > Step-by-Step Installation Guides (for most website providers)
    > Don't see a guide? Contact your web developer/site builder (ex: WordPress)
    > BONUS - Trigger your floating button to pop up instantly with our guide below!

PRO TIP!

Redirect your other website donate buttons to "pop-up" your Harness button.

    2. Direct Links + Partner Example
        > Found in your Admin Dashboard under Fundraise > Giving Forms
        > Copy & paste your Harness URL (found under "Link") in the place of your current donate URL


> Not recommended due to display variations on screen size, etc
