To login to WishWell, go to https://wishwell.ai, click “Login” at the top right of the page, type in your username (it will be your email) and password on the left side of the screen and press login.
If you forgot your login, or are not sure if you have an account, press the “I forgot my password” below the Login button, enter in your email in the popup, and WishWell will send you an email (make sure to check spam) with a link that will allow you to reset your password. If you don’t receive an email, you likely don’t have an account.
All WishWell configurations are in the Settings page. When you first login to WishWell, you will be taken to the Settings page. You can also access the Settings page by pressing the Settings button or simply by refreshing the page.
We will now describe what each field in the settings page does:
Organization Name
This sets the name that your donors will see on order forms, online checkout pages, envelopes and emails. Choose a descriptive name that your members will recognize.
This is the email that WishWell sends all messages to your members from and is only relevant if you are using our email feature. Note that this is also where member replies to WishWell emails will go, so please make sure that it’s a monitored inbox.
After saving a new email, you must press the Verify Email button (if it is blue and clickable) before WishWell can send emails properly. Pressing the Verify button will send an email to the newly saved email with a link that you will have to click to verify that you in fact own the email account and are authorized to send emails from it.
Country
This cannot be changed.
Address:
Line 1 is Street (i.e. 12 Edward Street) and Line 2 is City, State and postcode (i.e. Boynton Beach, FL 33437)
Custom URL
This is the end of the URL where your members can place online orders. For example, if you put “ponte-vecchio”, then your members’ WishWell URL will be https://wishwell.ai/ponte-vecchio. Note that it is not case sensitive. The small Arrow button to the right of this field will open your donor page in a new tab, and the clipboard button to the right of that will copy the URL to your clipboard, so you can paste it wherever you’d like.
Brand Color
This sets the color at the top menu bar of WishWell. PAP purple is R: 153, G: 147, B: 200.
Upload Logo
Press this blue button and select the logo you’d like to use to change the logo on the top left of the menu bar.
Minimum Donation/Wish
This is the minimum donation that members must make for every person they wish well. It can be set to any number you like, and donors must donate at least that amount per wish, but can donate more. For instance, if you set it to 2 and Fred makes 10 wishes in Q1, he must donate $20 or more when checking out.
Default Wishers
This is a list of names and even organizations that you can add to any person’s card that has at least 1 wish, but fewer than 5. It is a way of padding the card for newer members that got less wishes. You can enter in as many names as you like. they can be board members, staff, volunteers, whomever you’d like! Just type in the name and press “Enter / Return” to add. Click the ‘x’ next to a name to delete it.
Events
We currently only support birthdays and anniversaries and you can’t change that in your Settings page. Contact WishWell to change these.
Donor Management
The import donors feature is not designed for PAP chapters, so we suggest you add new members manually rather than trying to import using this feature.
Important Note: Make sure to save your changes. You can refresh the page to check and make sure that the change was saved.
You can have unlimited users in WishWell to help support the program. Each user will use their email to login.

Optionally, you can check the E-mail order forms box that will email a link to the wishes page, so that your members that have opted in to receive emailed order forms can easily make wishes online. We recommend only sending 1-3 of these per quarter to avoid annoying your members. Only members with Email Order Forms enabled will get an email.
Also note, that WishWell can send these emails automatically for you in the month leading up to each quarter. Checkout the WishWell automation section for more information.
All order forms, labels, and coversheets are printed as a Microsoft Word file, so you can edit it however you’d like before printing and sending.
There are two ways to place orders or make wishes on WishWell. You can fill out a physical order form and send a check, or you can go online, make your wishes and donate via credit/debit card or bank transfer.

Note: only people with Mail Cards enabled will have a card generated.
Optionally, you can check the “E-mail Cards” box to have WishWell email cards to all people with a birthday card for that month (they go out immediately, so this should be done on or around the 1st of the month to avoid confusion. Note that only people with Email Cards enabled will get these emails. Also, note that WishWell has an automation feature that can send birthday cards on individuals’ birthdays. See the section below for more details.
WishWell offers several reports at the “Reports” page:
You can export a full list of all your members with all of their information and WishWell settings by pressing the blue “Export Member List” link on the reports page. This will generate a .csv file that you can save to your computer
You can generate a .csv file of all payments/deposits (both checks and electronic payments), by selecting the month and year (note that the program uses check and charge dates to filter records), clicking “Generate Deposit Report”, and clicking the blue link that appears below the button after a few seconds to download the report.
You can generate a .csv file of all individual wishes (it shows each wish sent), by selecting the month and year (note that the program uses the date the wish was saved to filter records), clicking “Generate Order Report”, and clicking the blue link that appears below the button after a few seconds to download the report.
WishWell can be fully or partially automated to send wish reminders and cards automatically by email.
WishWell will send 3 simple emails the month before each quarter to all members who have Email Order Forms enabled on the 1st, 15th, and 25th of the month (September for Q4, December for Q1, March for Q2, and June for Q3).
Donors can then place their wishes on their own time, but ideally before the end of the month.
WishWell then sends birthday cards to everyone that received at least one wish on everyone’s birthday. Note that these only go to people with Email Cards enabled.
We do recommend marketing WishWell throughout the year to maximize engagement, but this option technically doesn’t require any intervention by the organization. It all runs automatically in the background! Contact OneGift for more information
The Birthday Booster feature emails a custom link to your members a month before their birthday that they can share with friends and family to fundraise on your behalf. The link will take them to a WishWell page to make a single donation and birthday wish to that specific member, and is a great way to expand your reach. Donations typically range from $5 - $50. The donor’s name will be added to the members’ WishWell card.
You can enable the Birthday Booster feature for your community in the settings page at the bottom of the page:
And each member can opt in or out of getting the link in the contact preferences.
Contact OneGift if you would like more information.
