    1) Donation 2 forms replaced the classic donations forms. Unless you have been with Convio for some time and have either been 'grand fathered' in to asccess Donations Classic or paid for that access, you will only be using Donations 2 forms.

    If you go to Fundraising-Donation Management and you have the option to manage Donation Campaigns, you are using Donations 2. You would also have a tab in Donation Management titled "Donation Classic" if you had access to the original system.

    2) I believe all donation forms rest on the Convio server.

    3) The code for the actual API connection itself rests on the Convio server. However, anything written through the connection will rest on the connecting server. Meaning, if an API connection allows for integration between Convio and Server A, the connection rests with Convio. But if you write code using the connection, what was written will rest on Server A. More API information can be found at open.convio.com.

    I hope that helps!
