Pledge Detail
The pledge detail view shows complete information about a single pledge.
Accessing
Section titled “Accessing”Click any pledge row in the Pledges list to open its detail view.
Pledge summary
Section titled “Pledge summary”The detail view header displays:
- Campaign name — linked to the campaign page
- Amount — what the backer has actually paid, formatted in the currency the pledge was taken in. It matches the figure on the Pledges list, so the two never disagree.
- Date — when the pledge was made
- Status badge — current pledge status
Charge breakdown
Section titled “Charge breakdown”Where an add-on let the backer add something on top of their pledge — a tip, or covering a fee — the single Amount line is replaced by an itemised list: each part on its own row, closing with a bold Total charged. It is the same list the backer saw on the checkout review step and on their receipt, so the three agree. A plain pledge with nothing added keeps the single line.
Payment instructions
Section titled “Payment instructions”When the pledge status is Pending, the detail view displays the offline payment instructions configured by the site’s staff. Placeholders like {amount}, {campaign_name}, and {pledge_id} are replaced with the actual pledge values.
Payment instructions are hidden once the pledge moves to any other status.
Refunds
Section titled “Refunds”When the pledge has been refunded, a neutral Partial Refund or Full Refund chip appears beside the status badge, and a Refunded and a Net row show what was returned and what remains — $0.00 net for a full refund. The pledge keeps its Succeeded status — a refund is a separate dimension, not a status. See Refunds.
When there is a charge breakdown, those two rows sit beneath it, so the whole block reads down as Total charged minus Refunded equals Net — all three on the same basis.
Status history
Section titled “Status history”An audit trail shows every status change for the pledge. Each entry includes:
- Date — when the transition occurred
- Description — status change summary (e.g., “Pending → Succeeded”, or “Refund issued: $25.00”)
- Actor — who performed the action (when available)
- Note — optional note added during the transition (when available)
Cancel action
Section titled “Cancel action”When the pledge status is Pending, the status badge becomes a dropdown menu with a Cancel option. A confirmation prompt appears before processing.
Shipping address
Section titled “Shipping address”When the pledge is for a reward tier that requires shipping, the backer’s submitted delivery address appears as a read-only block on the pledge detail. The address shows the Recipient name, Address line 1 (and line 2 when present), City, State / Region, Postal code, and Country exactly as the backer entered them at checkout. Backers cannot edit the address from the pledge detail — for changes, they should contact the campaign organizer.
This section is hidden when the pledge is not for a shipping tier, or when the address has not been submitted.
Visibility
Section titled “Visibility”Shows whether the backer appears publicly or as “Anonymous” on the campaign’s backer list. A toggle button switches between public and anonymous. This section is hidden if the pledge has been canceled.
When the free Better Sharing plugin is active and the Pledge detail page location is enabled in Sharing, a share widget appears so backers can share the campaign they pledged to.
Back navigation
Section titled “Back navigation”Click ← Back to Pledges to return to the pledge list.
