We welcome global support! While we process the donation in the campaign's base currency (usually USD), your bank may apply a currency conversion fee or international transaction charge. We recommend checking with your bank or credit card provider for details on their specific international processing fees.
Fitness Activity
Select the activity type that best represents how you plan to participate in the campaign. Your selection helps organizers understand participant interests and generate activity reports.
Absolutely! Fitness device integrations are optional. You can manually enter workouts and activity through log activity link if you prefer not to connect a fitness app or device.
Our platform supports popular fitness integrations including Apple Health, Apple Watch, Google Health Connect, Fitbit, Garmin, and Strava. Available integrations may vary by campaign.
When you connect a supported fitness device or app, your activity data is automatically synced to the campaign and contributes toward your campaign goals.
Sync timing depends on your connected device or app. Apple Health and Google Health Connect typically update when you open the campaign app. Fitbit, Garmin, and Strava activities are generally updated shortly after your device syncs with their respective platforms. Occasionally, activity providers may delay updates while processing activity data.
Most fitness integrations provide daily activity summaries rather than individual workout details. Any activity that contributes to your daily distance, mileage, or step totals may be included in your campaign progress.
To provide a consistent experience across many different fitness devices and applications, synced activities are commonly displayed as walking activities within the platform. Campaign administrators can still review participant activity preferences selected during registration.
Fitness Device Support
Yes. If you have participated in previous campaigns, we recommend disconnecting your existing fitness integration and reconnecting it before starting a new campaign. This refreshes the connection and helps ensure activity syncs properly.
First, make sure your fitness device or app has completed syncing. Next, open the campaign app and allow a few minutes for activity updates to process. If activity still does not appear, disconnect and reconnect your fitness integration.
If you experience issues connecting or syncing your fitness device, please email Charity Footprints support desk with a description of the issue and screenshots showing the problem. Their support team will be happy to assist you.
