Choose a ticker

To begin with stock donations you will need to fetch a list of tickers using the endpoint GetTickersList.

Once a donor chooses a ticker, fetch a price for that ticker using the endpoint GetTickerCost. Note that the minimum pledge amount is equivalent to $500.

Create donation pledge

When a donor chooses a ticker, amount, and personal information (anonymous stock donations are not allowed), create a donation pledge using the endpoint CreateStockDonationPledge. At the response, you will receive donationUuid, and save it for future requests.

Provide broker information

The next step is providing broker information. You can get a list of supported brokers by calling the endpoint GetBrokersList. After a donor chooses a broker, submit a stock donation using the endpoint SubmitStockDonation.

Donor signature

The last step is to ask for a donor's signature. We accept PNG in base64 encoding. You can use react-signature-canvas or any other tool to generate a base64 string. Pass it along with donationUuid and sign date to the SignStockDonation.
