Status Bar in BBNC

Mark Bezanson · May 2019

We have project pages built in BBNC to compliment our Crowdfunding program. The reason why we went with BBNC instead of Luminate is because we were told that it would be an additional 5% charge over and above the credit card fees if we used Luminate. S,o we have a project page for each individual project and they have a status bar with the actual amount raised and the percentage of the goal. We are manually updated the value each day from the data in RE. Is there any way to automate this process? BBNC can import data from RE in other areaa, for example bio information, donor history... There must be some way to do this for fund values.

Someone may have made this work directly through RE => BBNC. However, the only way we have ever made it remotely work was to set a scheduled dump of the projects current funding to a csv on a secure ftp where we could then process it using our own server side program to then feed it into json and allow our page to grab the data. That said things never quite worked right and we scrapped the continued use of it. Personally, I recommend running away from BBNC as fast as you can... Luminate isn't any better and that makes no sense that they would take more donations from you. We have Luminate (not using it because we were told it could do some features we needed and it doesn't) and BBNC and they both run through BBMS for the processor at the same rate.

Not sure if that helps much but BBNC is a dead product and has more issues than I have time to write. (Luminate isn't much better...)
