Canadian Direct Debit is now available! (for some in Canada)

To give donors more ways to give, you can now offer the popular direct debit option on donation forms and when you add a gift in the web view:

  • Gift entries — When you add or update a one-time gift, recurring gift, or pledge, a pre-authorized debit (PAD) agreement is created.

    • New gifts — Manually send the donor a link to the PAD agreement.

    • Amended gifts — An email with the PAD link is sent automatically to the donor.

    The PAD agreement is available on recurring gift and pledge records and for one-time gifts on the payment record. For more information, see Payment information.

  • Donation forms — To accept direct debit gifts, enable direct debit under the Payments and fees tab. Donors receive a PAD agreement link via the Thank You page and confirmation email. For more information, see Optimized donation forms and Standardized donation forms.

  • Portal — Donors can update recurring gifts paid by direct debit. When donors update the frequency, amount, or account details, a new PAD agreement is sent to them. You can view the agreement on the gift record. For more information, see Get started with portal.

  • Automated payment reminders — To remind donors of upcoming direct debit or credit card charges, you can set up automated email reminders. For more information, see Payment reminders.

Enhancements to consent in web view (for more of you)

To help you manage a constituent’s consent history, including which categories of communications and channels they opted in or out of, we’ve made enhancements to the Consent tile on the constituent record, made it easier to opt constituents in and out of consent channels and categories, and added the View consent history option to allow you to view a constituent’s complete history of consent responses.

Manage communications from Communications overview (for more of you)

We’ve introduced Communications, Overview to help you track and manage mass communications with prospects and supporters. From here, you can access:
