Progress Bars and Metrics

Progress bars and metrics help donors understand campaign momentum. PayPress can show amount raised, goal percentage, progress bar, donation count, and goal reached messaging.

Overview

Progress bars and metrics help donors understand campaign momentum. PayPress can show amount raised, goal percentage, progress bar, donation count, and goal reached messaging.

Requirements

  • Fundraising enabled.
  • Display options enabled on the plan.
  • Campaign page available.

Steps

  1. Open the fundraising Donation plan.
  2. Enable the metrics you want to show.
  3. Choose a progress bar color if desired.
  4. Save the plan.
  5. View the campaign page.
  6. Make a test donation and confirm metrics update.

Expected Result

Visitors see the selected fundraising metrics. Logged-out visitors should receive current values through REST hydration even when the page HTML is cached.

Important Notes

The progress bar is visual. Server-side checkout validation remains authoritative. The progress bar can clamp at 100% while the amount raised continues to show the actual total.

Troubleshooting

If metrics are stale, check REST endpoint access and cache/CDN rules. If the progress bar does not match the amount, confirm the goal amount and refund status.
