How to Change A Donation Item

Learn how to change the item associated with a participant's donation or pledge.

The Change Item function lets you reassign a participant's donation or pledge to a different Donation Item, or switch it to a different item type entirely — for example, converting a donation to a ticket purchase.

Step 1 — Open the Donation Item's Activity Tab

Navigate to the Donation Item that the original pledge was made against and open its Activity tab.

Changing to a Different Item Type

The Change Item function works across item types — for example, you can reassign a Donation item to a Tickets item. When you do this, Auctria will update the relevant ticket details across the platform automatically.
