A Look at the New Features¶

Overview of Features¶

• One page can provide donors with the opportunity to make pledges, one-time gifts, or set up recurring giving schedules, with the ability to switch from one giving type to another while retaining information they have already entered.

• Multiple giving pages can be configured, each with the funds and other options you specify.

• A default giving page can be specified or, if your church has multiple campuses, a default for each campus.

• As part of setting up giving pages, you can define descriptive URLs for each.

• Giving pages can be custom branded by means of a shell (just as with registrations).

• There are editable email templates for donor notification of the following events:

  • One-time gift

  • Online pledge

  • Recurring setup

  • Recurring gift made

  • Recurring gift failure

  • Recurring gift hits its end date

  • Deletion of recurring giving schedule

• Funds used on giving pages can be configured to allow Notes so that donors can enter memorials or instructions.

• Funds used on giving pages can also be configured to allow an end date for recurring gifts.

• Donors can make a one-time gift without logging in or can log in via several methods:

  • Security code sent to email address

  • Security code sent to phone (requires Twilio integration)

  • Traditional user name and password

• Donors can set up multiple recurring schedules.

• Donors can save multiple payment methods and, when making or scheduling a gift, can select from a list of saved payment methods.

• There are several options for frequency of recurring gifts:

  • Weekly

  • Biweekly

  • Semi-monthly

  • Monthly

  • Quarterly

  • Annually

  The first four are available by default, although the biweekly and semi-monthly options can be hidden. The remaining two – quarterly and annually – can optionally be enabled.

• Online giving can be configured to allow donors to cover the processing fees, which can be set for card and for eft by administration settings.

• Minimum and maximum gifts can be configured so that donors are not allowed to make gifts under the minimum or over the maximum.

• Each giving page can be configured to display a pledge summary at the bottom of the page.

• With URL controls for giving pages, you can preset the selected type (pledge, one-time, recurring), fund, and amount.

• Additionally, special links for use in email and SMS can also preset these three options.
