Post-Donation Redirect

How to redirect people to your website after they make a donation

You can create a custom URL to donate a specific amount (and frequency) by appending /donate, /pay or /contribute to your collective url: e.g.

https://opencollective.com/webpack/donate/100/month/bronze%20sponsorship
https://opencollective.com/webpack/pay/1000/invoice%201234

You can also append to that url a redirect parameter. That way, after the user donates money, they will be redirected to your URL and we will pass the transactionid.

E.g.

https://opencollective.com/octobox/pay/100/month/support%20the%20community?redirect=https://octobox.io/callback

When you donate you will be redirected to:

 https://octobox.io/callback?transactionid=117fe88f-3fc7-4634-b78c-05b0fd0cf7d8

Then you can call our API to get all the details about that transaction:

https://api.opencollective.com/v1/collectives/octobox/transactions/117fe88f-3fc7-4634-b78c-05b0fd0cf7d8?apiKey=xxxxx

You can get your API key in your "Applications" page that you can access from your logged in user dropdown menu.
