# Set up offerings for a dharma event

> What every offering, tier and bundle setting does, and how to choose between them.

**Who can do this:** Owner, Admin, Member

<!-- Editing an existing campaign's offerings is a campaign update: Owner, Admin and
     Member hold it by default (team/roles-and-permissions). Finance and Viewer can
     view campaigns only. -->

Offerings are what donors choose on a dharma event page — a memorial tablet, a blessing lamp, a combined package. Set each one up so the donor form asks for the right names, charges the right price, and prints on the right tablet design.

Every setting below also has a question mark beside it in the editor. Select it to read the same explanation without leaving the page.

## How offerings fit together

| Level | What it is | What you decide here |
|---|---|---|
| **Offering** 供品项目 | One package donors see on the event page, such as 往生莲位 or 光明灯 | Its name, whether it's a **Bundle**, **Open by Default**, **Limited Qty**, and whether it's Live, Hidden or Completed |
| **Price Tier** 价格档次 | One price inside the offering — RM 100 for a small tablet, RM 300 for a large one. Donors pick one tier | **Price Type**, amount, **Show Price**, **Output Type**, **Names per Entry**, **Tablet Template** |
| **Included Items** 包含项目 | Bundles only: the tablets one purchase gives | Each tablet's type, quantity, names per tablet and template, plus paid **Extra Options** |

## Before you start

- The campaign must be in dharma event mode. See [Choose a campaign type](https://donorcare.my/help/organizations/campaigns/choose-a-campaign-type/).
- Have your tablet designs ready — a tier with no template can't be printed. See [Design a tablet template](https://donorcare.my/help/organizations/tablets/design-a-tablet-template/).

## Steps

1. **Open the campaign and select the Offerings tab.** Select **Add Offering Category** for each package you want donors to choose.

2. **Name the offering and set its options.** Turn on **Bundle** only if one purchase gives several tablets. Turn on **Open by Default** for your main offering. Turn on **Limited Qty** if places are capped.

3. **Select Add Tier for each price.** Choose **Fixed Amount** or **Flexible**, enter the amount (or the minimum), and decide whether to **Show Price**.

4. **Choose the tier's Output Type.** This decides what each registration turns into — see the table below.

5. **Set Names per Entry and Tablet Template.** On a bundle, add **Included Items** instead, and set names per tablet and a template on each one.

6. **Select Preview** to see the offering as donors will, then select **Save Changes** in the bar at the bottom of the page.

## Offering settings

| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Bundle** 综合配套 | One purchase gives several tablets — for example one memorial and one blessing tablet for a single package price. Unlocks the **Hybrid** output type, and moves names and templates onto each **Included Item**. A bundle can't be saved until a tier has at least one included item, because the donation form needs a row for each tablet's names. |
| **Open by Default** 默认展开 | Shows the offering already expanded on the event page, so donors see its tiers without tapping. Keep other offerings collapsed so the page stays short. |
| **Limited Qty** 限量 | Caps how many places the offering can take across all its tiers. Every registered tablet row takes one place, so a two-tablet bundle takes two. A payment that fails, is canceled or is voided gives its places back. When none are left, the offering shows as full (已额满). |
| **Live / Hidden / Completed** | **Live** is shown and open. **Hidden** is removed from the event page; registrations already taken are kept. **Completed** is still shown, but marked full and closed to new registrations. |
| **Show Yangshang** 显示阳上, **Show 称谓** 显示称谓 and **Tablet Group** 共享牌位组 | Only appear once DonorCARE has turned tablet customizations on for your organization. Show Yangshang hides the 阳上 field for memorial offerings that print none. Show 称谓 hides the 称谓 tags (先父, 先母, 已故 …) under each deceased name, for offerings that record the name only. Offerings sharing a Tablet Group name print together as one merged batch. |

## Tier settings

| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Price Type** 金额类型 | **Fixed Amount** — the donor pays exactly this price. **Flexible** (随喜) — the donor enters any amount at or above the **Minimum**. |
| **Show Price** 显示价格 | Off hides the amount on the event page. It doesn't change what the tier costs. Flexible tiers always show their minimum. |
| **Output Type** 输出类型 | **Memorial** 往生莲位 — a tablet for the deceased, with optional 阳上. **Blessing** 延生禄位 — a tablet for the living. **Hybrid** 混合牌位 — bundles only, both kinds in one tier. **Listing** 名单列表 — no individual tablet; names print together on one list. **Manual** 另行处理 — no template; the registration is recorded and you handle any printing yourself. |
| **Selection Mode** 选择模式 | Hybrid tiers only. **Include all** gives the donor every included item. **Choose one** lets the donor pick either the memorial or the blessing item, so both kinds must be included. |
| **Names per Entry** 每位名数 | How many names one tablet carries. **Single** — one. **Couple** — up to two, such as both parents. **Family** — no limit, such as 历代祖先. A donor with more names adds another entry, which is another tablet. |
| **Yangshang Names** 阳上人数 | Memorial tiers only. The most 阳上 names — the living family members who dedicate the tablet — the donor form accepts for one tablet. |
| **Enable "Family" suffix** 合家标记 | Couple blessing tiers only. Gives each entry a 合家 switch beside the name, on by default, printed after the names. |
| **Tablet Template** 牌位模板 | The design used when you generate this tier's tablets. **Recommended** lists designs of the same type as the Output Type. A Listing design works for any tier; a memorial or blessing design on a tier of another type prints blank. |
| **Generate one tablet per name** 每名独立牌位 | Printing only: a Couple or Family entry prints as one tablet per name, with the receipt number suffixed -1, -2. Registration and the receipt don't change. |

## Bundle settings

| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| **Included Items** 包含项目 | The tablets one purchase includes. For each, set the type (往生 memorial or 延生 blessing), the quantity, names per tablet, the 阳上 count for memorial tablets, and its template. The donor form shows one name row per included tablet. |
| **Extra Options** 额外选项 | Paid add-ons on top of the bundle, priced per extra tablet (/位) — for example an extra blessing tablet at RM 50. At most one per type. Add-on tablets print after the included ones. |

## If something goes wrong

| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "Sponsor package need at least one included memorial or blessing item" when you save | A Bundle offering has no Included Items on any tier | Add at least one included memorial or blessing item, or turn Bundle off |
| A tier's Output Type goes back to what it was after saving, with a warning | Names have already been entered on that tier, and the new type would stop showing them | Leave the type as it is, or create a new tier for the new type |
| **Hybrid** isn't offered as an Output Type | Hybrid is for bundles only | Turn on **Bundle** for the offering |
| No 合家 option on a tier | It only appears for a Couple tier whose Output Type is Blessing or Hybrid | Set Names per Entry to Couple |
| "Template not found for this tier" when generating tablets | The tier has no Tablet Template | Pick a template on the tier, save, then generate again |
