## How it works

The screens of the demo in order, with the calls your server makes at each one.

### Once, before the first customer

- [`POST /v1/charities-selections`](https://www.charitips.com/docs/api-reference/create-charities-selection.md) Create a charities selection: once: the charities you offer, from the catalog

  ```json
  {
    "name": "Your course platform",
    "charityIds": [
      "<charityId>"
    ]
  }
  ```
- [`POST /v1/campaigns`](https://www.charitips.com/docs/api-reference/create-campaign.md) Create a campaign: once: the campaign the donations go to

  ```json
  {
    "name": "Your course platform",
    "charitiesSelectionId": "<charitiesSelectionId>",
    "type": "PERMANENT",
    "amountType": "FREE_AMOUNT"
  }
  ```
- [`POST /v1/campaigns/{campaignId}/activate`](https://www.charitips.com/docs/api-reference/activate-campaign.md) Activate a campaign: once: the campaign starts taking donations

### 1. When the month closes

- Button: Close the month of October

**Your server calls:**

- [`POST /v1/donations`](https://www.charitips.com/docs/api-reference/create-donation.md) Create a donation: from your server, when it happens; amount in cents

  ```json
  {
    "campaignId": "<campaignId>",
    "amount": 124000,
    "uniqueExternalId": "premium_2026-10",
    "charityId": "<charityId>"
  }
  ```

Charitips then sends the `donation_create` webhook to your endpoint.
