Thanks so much Karen for your reply- that's what I'm not sure about - Substack gives two options when creating a button - gift and donate. Sorry I didn't mean to bother you in this- I thought you were part of the Substack support/writer's office hours team

I went to the two buttons, and this is what I think is the difference. Gifting a subscription is when you have a particular person in mind that you want to give a subscription to. So, for example, you buy a subscription for your sister for her birthday. Donating a subscription is paying for a subscription so that the author of the newsletter can gift subscriptions to those who want one but can't afford it. So in gifting a subscription, you pick who gets the subscription. In donating a subscription, the author of the newsletter picks who gets the subscription.

No problem! I'm happy to problem solve.
