Changelog

All notable changes to Generous.nz are recorded here, grouped by version. Every deployed build has a version number, a git tag, and an entry below.

Versioning scheme

Versions follow MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH:

0.x — pre-launch. Minor bumps mark a completed build phase or major feature set; patches are bug fixes on the current build.
1.0.0 — first public launch.
1.x+ — post-launch: minor = new features, patch = fixes, major = breaking changes or significant re-architecture.

Each version is tagged in git (v0.2.0) and the current version is kept in package.json. See docs/version-control.md for how to cut a release.

Edit / pause / delete on wholesale catalogue products.

Every catalogue product card now has management actions:
- Edit — opens the full prefilled product form (title, description, selling price, discount, category, brand, options, shipping, stock, expiry, images).
- Pause — hides the product from the catalogue and fundraiser pickers without losing anything; Resume brings it back.
- Delete — removes it from the catalogue (soft delete; existing orders are unaffected).

Fix server-side exception on the wholesale catalogue page.

The wholesale catalogue page crashed once products existed because the category filter used an event handler in a server component (React forbids interactivity there). The filter is now a normal form with a Filter button.
The same latent issue on the wholesale Analytics fundraiser filter is fixed the same way.

Event ticketing with donation tiers (club dinners, concerts, charity events).

Donation tiers on event tickets: each ticket tier can carry an explicit donation component (e.g. a $100 VIP ticket where $60 is the ticket and $40 is a donation). Set it when adding or editing a ticket, and the tier card on the event page shows "Includes a $40 charitable donation".
Receipted: the buyer's order receipt states the charitable donation included, so sponsors and supporters have the tax line on paper. The fundraiser's CSV export includes the donation portion per order.
Multiple tiers already work (each ticket is its own tier with price, capacity, description and attendee details) — this adds the donation component and the attendee list stays available to organisers.
New Product.donationPortionCents column (migration 0039_ticket_donation_tiers).

Team fundraising: leaderboards, prizes, and the managed-campaign tier.

Teams & leaderboard (XXXXX style): organisers can define teams (name + emoji) on the fundraiser create/edit pages. Supporters pick a team when they start their P2P page, and the campaign page shows a live leaderboard ranking teams by money raised, with medals for the top three and a supporter count per team.
Prizes / incentives: organisers list prizes (e.g. "top team wins a pizza party") which appear on the leaderboard so teams know what they're playing for.
Managed-campaign tier: organisations can set a campaign manager name and email in their settings. When set, the campaign page shows a "🤝 Managed by [name]" badge — the hand-holding signal schools and clubs respond to.
New FundraiserTeam table, P2PPage.teamId, and organisation campaign manager fields (migration 0038_teams_leaderboard).

Low-friction donations: $15–$500 presets, Apple/Google Pay, zero-fee positioning.

Donation presets now span $15–$500 ($15, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500) in a tidy three-column grid that works on phones, plus a custom amount field.
Apple Pay / Google Pay enabled at checkout — donation and order checkouts explicitly request card/wallet payment methods, so Apple Pay and Google Pay appear automatically on Stripe's checkout page (wallets still need to be enabled in the Stripe Dashboard payment-methods settings).
Zero-fee positioning — the sign-up page now states "no setup fees, no monthly fees — pay only when you raise money", with a $0-to-start badge mentioning Apple Pay/Google Pay.

Payout speed (including instant payouts) is set by each seller in their own Stripe account — the platform routes money directly, so payout timing is a Stripe account setting rather than a platform toggle.

Branded footer on every email.

Every transactional email now ends with a Generous.nz-branded footer: the Generous.nz wordmark, the tagline "Sell. Donate. Make a difference.", links to the site, Explore, For businesses and Help, and "Made in Aotearoa New Zealand · Secure payments powered by Stripe".
The brand footer is applied automatically to both built-in emails and custom templates (and the admin template editor strips it from the editable footer so it's never duplicated).

Personal thank-you messages in automatic donation receipts.

Fundraisers can now write a personal thank-you message on the create and edit pages (with a prompt to make it personal). Every donor receives it automatically with their receipt email after a successful donation — styled as a highlighted note from the organiser.
If no message is set, the standard thank-you receipt is sent unchanged.
The donation-receipt email template now supports the {{thank_you_message}} shortcode for custom templates, and the sample preview shows how it looks.
New Fundraiser.thankYouMessage column (migration 0037_thank_you_message).

Live campaign stats with referrer/UTM tracking.

Visit tracking: every visit to a fundraiser page is recorded with the visitor, referrer and any UTM tags (utm_source/medium/campaign/content) via a privacy-friendly visitor cookie. No account needed to be tracked.
Conversion attribution: when the same visitor makes a donation or an order, their most recent visit is marked as converted — giving a real conversion rate, not a guess.
Campaign stats page (dashboard sidebar → Campaign stats): for each fundraiser, live money raised, page views (total and last 30 days), conversions and conversion rate, plus a "Which links drive support" list ranked by conversions and visits — Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, email or any referrer.
Tracked share links: organisers can generate and copy a share link tagged with the source (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, X, Email or custom), so they can see exactly which social post is working.
New FundraiserVisit table (migration 0036_campaign_visits).
