Integrating GoFundMe with RingCentral Events

This guide explains how to install the GoFundMe app on your Organization account and add it to your event for fundraising.

What is GoFundMe?

GoFundMe is a crowdfunding platform that helps charities and individuals raise money. GoFundMe does not require a paid subscription to create a fundraiser, but it will charge a transaction fee for each donation. 

How does the integration work?

The GoFundMe fundraiser can be embedded into the activity panel of a Stage, Session, Expo Booth, or Reception enabling attendees to make donations and see the fundraising progress directly within RingCentral Events.

1. In your Organization Dashboard, go to the Apps tab.
