Donor portal restart donation link should include frequency and maybe amount params
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Would be nice if the link included frequency=monthly/annual so the donor is a little closer to actually restarting.

In an ideal world, we'd also pass the amount (preSelect) and country, but we can't pass currency, so we'd have to check that the contact's country matches the recurring currency and not add preselect or country if not.

@KHill-WMF @SBurnett-WMF this relates to the flow we discussed from the recurring fail email - can we create a more useful "restart your donation" link?

@AKanji-WMF I'm working on that right now: T419046: Add token for recurring donation failure link
Hoping to be able to cut through the knot there about currency / amount / country.

@AKanji-WMF @KHill-WMF @SBurnett-WMF We've had some discussions about this question in tech talk over the last couple days. The fundamental problem we have is that we can't pass currency to donatewiki, so we can pass amount and country, but that might not get us the right currency. I think our path forward is to get everyone together who is involved in this one and see if it makes more sense to try to set up work arounds on our end, to make donatewiki accept currency or to wait for combowiki. Do one or more of you want to join in that meeting?

I think I should join. BUT I also think that if we do a geography check on
the portal before sharing the link, we can push this off until V2 or once
we have better options.

@SBurnett-WMF This isn't an exclusively donor portal issue, it's also recurring failure emails and emails to repeat donors in general.

I can scoot after the donor portal piece, but I am interested in email flow
now, so it may be helpful context for me to pick up, even if I am not
contributing directly or able to plot solutions with you.
