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
- Open the fundraising Donation plan.
- Enable the metrics you want to show.
- Choose a progress bar color if desired.
- Save the plan.
- View the campaign page.
- 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.
