How to use the Spektrix Upsell Part

Updated: 27 November 2025 for Release v222


What is the Spektrix Upsell Part?

The Spektrix Upsell part uses Spektrix Web Components to help you add fundraising opportunities to your website pages.

This is the first version of the Spektrix Upsell part. In future releases, we'll be adding Memberships and Merchandise options to give you even more ways to engage with your visitors.

Before you start: You need to be using the new CMS page module to access this feature.

Good news! This setup has already been completed by our team. However, if the Spektrix Upsell part isn't working as expected, please check these implementation details:

  1. Check the Content page setup

Your Donation Options

Once you've selected Donation, configure these settings:

Fund

  • Select which Spektrix Fund these donations should go to
  • This links directly to your Funds in Spektrix

Custom amount

  • Check this box if you want visitors to type in their own donation amount

Fixed amounts

  • Set suggested donation amounts that appear as buttons
  • Enter the number value (e.g., 5) and press Enter to add
💡
Top Tip! Choosing Your Fixed Amounts Strategically Fixed amounts are a great way to offer a quick interaction pattern for your visitors. Make sure you are strategically choosing your amounts, because it will set expectations on what is a reasonable donation. We think 3 options is a good amount to not overwhelm visitors with choice.

Also be aware that most people prefer the "middle" option, so make sure that option is balanced. While £25 might look steep in a 5, 25, 50 offering, it might look more attractive in a 5, 25, 100 offering.

 

Forward to basket

  • Check this box if you want Visitors to be redirected straight to the basket page after adding their donation. Leave, to stay on the current page.

Add context to your ask

Add context to your donation ask by combining the Spektrix Upsell part with other Peppered parts like Description. This helps tell your story and explain why donations matter.
