Community Goals
Create fundraising goals and track community progress together.
What Are Community Goals?
Community goals are shared objectives that your entire community works toward. As customers make purchases, progress increases toward the goal.
Examples:
- "Help us reach $10,000 to unlock a new server!"
- "500 purchases to release the new update!"
- "Reach $5,000 for charity donation!"
Creating a Goal
- Go to Marketing > Community Goals
- Click Create Goal
- Configure your goal
Goal Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Goal title (e.g., "New Server Fund") |
| Description | What happens when the goal is reached |
| Target Amount | The goal amount in your store currency |
| Start Date | When tracking begins |
| End Date | Optional deadline |
How It Works
Goals track revenue from completed orders:
- Example: "Raise $10,000 for a new server!"
- Progress increases when orders are paid
- Progress decreases if orders are refunded
Progress Tracking
Automatic Updates
Progress updates automatically when:
- Orders are completed and paid
- Orders are refunded (progress decreases)
