Add the sponsor, save, and control where logos appear in Placement Display Settings. ## Open Sponsor Logos - Go to your dashboard. - Click **Manage auction** on the auction card. That opens Campaign Hub. - In the left sidebar, under **Fundraising Modules**, click **Sponsor Logos**. Note: There is no left-sidebar entry named Item Management. If **Sponsor Logos** is not in the sidebar yet, click **Add Fundraising Module**. The dialog heading is **Add Fundraising Module**. It says **Choose an additional fundraising tool to link to this campaign.** Choose **Sponsor Logos**. The line under it is **Showcase sponsors on your pages**. Then click **Add Module**. Or click **Cancel**. If that row says **LOCKED**, the current plan does not include Sponsor Logos. Open **Plans & fees** in the left sidebar, under **Tools**, if you need a plan that includes it. The page heading area includes **How sponsor logos work**. It says to upload a sponsor logo, add the sponsor name, choose where it should appear, and save. ## Add a sponsor On the module page, click **Add Sponsor Logo**. If you have none yet, the empty state says **No sponsor logos added yet**. It also says **Add sponsor logos to recognize your sponsors and display them across your auction pages.** You can click **Add First Sponsor Logo**. The **Add Sponsor Logo** form opens. It says to upload a sponsor logo, add an optional website link, and choose where it should appear on your auction pages. - Set **Logo Type**. Choose **Image Logo** if the sponsor already has a logo file. Choose **Text Logo** if you only want to display the sponsor name. - For an image, use **Upload sponsor logo**. The field says **Drag and drop a file here, or click to upload**. Accepted file types: PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP. After a file is attached, the control is **Change Logo**. - Enter **Sponsor Name**. The placeholder example is a display name. - Optional: add **Sponsor Website URL** if you want visitors to click the logo. Optional: add **Internal Notes** for your team. The notes placeholder mentions sponsor level, contact details, or display instructions. - Under **Where should this logo appear?**, choose one or more placements. The groups on the form are **Sitewide visibility**, **Auction browsing**, and **Important moments**. - Set **Display Order** if you want a sort order. Lower numbers appear first. The default is 1. - Leave **Active (logo will be displayed)** on if you want the logo shown. - Click **Add sponsor logo**. Or click **Cancel**. Required fields are marked with *. Those are **Logo Type**, **Upload sponsor logo** (for Image Logo), **Sponsor Name**, and **Where should this logo appear?**. Do not look for a Save button named Save on the add form. The form button is **Add sponsor logo**. There is no contact-email field, no sponsorship-amount field, and no public tier picker on this form. Put team-only details in **Internal Notes**. ## After you save The add dialog closes and the module list appears. There is no separate success toast. The list heading is **Active Logos**, with a count. The line under it is **Logos currently displayed on your auction pages**. Columns are: - **Logo** - **Name** - **Where it appears** - **Order** - **Actions** If you added a website, the name cell includes **Visit website**. A search field appears: **Search sponsor logos...** ## Edit or delete a sponsor In the **Actions** column: - One action opens **Edit Sponsor Logo**. The dialog says to update this sponsor logo, website link, and where it appears on your auction pages. The fields match the add form, including **Change Logo** if an image is already attached. Click **Save changes**. Or click **Cancel**. - Another action opens **Delete Sponsor Logo**. It asks if you are sure you want to delete that sponsor, and says this action cannot be undone. Click **Delete** to remove it. Or click **Cancel**. ## Placement Display Settings After at least one logo exists, the module shows **Placement Display Settings**. It says **Customize how sponsor logos are displayed in each placement**. Each placement that has logos lists a logo count, then: - **Display Title**. Helper text: **Text shown above the logos**. Footer and Sponsor Section default to **OUR SPONSORS**. - For **Sponsor Section** only: **Tab Name**. Helper text: **Name of the tab in navigation**. The default is **Sponsors**. Click **Save Display Settings** to keep those titles. ## Where logos can appear On the module page, click **See where logos appear**. That opens **Where sponsor logos can appear**. The form and that dialog use the same placements: - **Header**. Shows near the top of your auction pages. - **Footer**. Shows near the bottom of your auction pages. - **Item Detail Pages**. Shows on individual auction item pages. - **About Page**. Shows on your auction about page. - **Sponsor Section**. Shows in the dedicated sponsor area. - **Checkout and Thank You Pages**. Shows during checkout and after payment. - **Donate Items Page**. Shows on your item donation page. Most events start with **Header**, **Footer**, and **Sponsor Section**. In the form, click **Use recommended placements** to select those. ## Logo guidelines The module lists these before you start: - Use a clean horizontal logo when possible - Recommended size: 200 x 100 px - Clickable logo: add a website link - Most events use Header, Footer, and Sponsor Section The upload field also says best results come from a horizontal logo with a simple background. ## Display order and sponsor levels There is no separate tier picker. Use **Display Order** so logos sort within each placement. Use **Internal Notes** for sponsor level, contact details, or display instructions. Those notes are for your team. ## If you do not need the module in the sidebar The page includes **Remove module**. **Remove Sponsor Logos** takes the module out of the campaign sidebar. Your existing settings and data are kept. Use **Add Fundraising Module** to bring it back. ## Common issues - If the page says **No sponsor logos added yet**, click **Add First Sponsor Logo** or **Add Sponsor Logo**. - If **Add sponsor logo** does not save, check the * fields: **Logo Type**, **Sponsor Name**, at least one placement, and **Upload sponsor logo** when Logo Type is **Image Logo**. - If **Sponsor Logos** is missing from **Fundraising Modules**, add it from **Add Fundraising Module**. If the row is **LOCKED**, the plan does not include it yet. Need help with sponsor logos?
