Product Connections is an optional feature of VS that connects Agencies with volunteers and members of the public (called donors) seeking to donate goods and services. Agencies can solicit donations for particular items they need by using the Posted Needs form to create and post needed-item listings that donors can review and respond to. Donors, in turn, can use the Posted Offers form to create donated-item listings for donations that Agencies can review and claim using the Claim Donation form.
In order for Agencies and donors to use Product Connections, you must first enable it. You can then track and run a report on needed- and donated-item listings, as well as make changes to Product Connections’ appearance and settings.
The topics in this section will provide instructions on how to set up, manage, and customize Product Connections for your site.
