Duplicate Recurring Charge Detection

BETA
New
       Josh Bloomfield

This item is available on a limited basis. You can request access at support@givecloud.co.

The long awaited update is here. Many of you have donors that have multiple recurring donations set up on the same day. Now, Givecloud has intelligence that detects when the same card will be charged more than once. In those cases, Givecloud groups those charges together into a single charge while still tracking the individual reasons for the payment. This keeps your donor's bank statement simpler, saves you on fees, and speeds up the transaction processing.

This is being tested with a handful of clients. We'll let you know once it is live :)

You can now create Buy-One-Get-%-OFF or Buy-One-Get-$-OFF promotional codes for your merchandise, events, classes, or anything else you sell.

From the left menu, go to Sell & Fundraise > Promocodes, then click Add. Once you do, you'll see a setting for "Buy X Get Dollar Discount" and "Buy X Get Percent Discount". Follow the on-screen instructions and give it a try :)

Decline Detection & Captcha Support

New
       Tim Robertson

We now track the number of times a card is declined. After 3 declines, we require donors to complete a CAPTCHA test before they can try their card again. This makes it more difficult for fraudsters and robots to exploit your Givecloud payment forms to test black market credit cards.

Raise more money by allowing your supporters to create their own fundraisers RIGHT on your website! No more need for third-party peer-to-peer platforms. And if you are connected to a CRM like DonorPerfect, all the donations received are instantly pushed to DP.

To request access, ask is in the smiley chat bubble in the bottom right of your control panel :)

We're working on our documentation here :)

Improved DP Code Matching

Bug Fix
       Dan Ramdial

Givecloud now more intelligently matches codes in DP by comparing codes and code descriptions. For example, let's say you had a solicitation code set up called 'FB' with the description 'Facebook'. Givecloud will now compare both the code and the value to make sure it finds the best match. This would allow you to push the word 'facebook' (case insensitive) into the solicitation field, without forcing the value 'FB'.

Between July 11th and August 7th, some customers may have experienced issues with their GL, Campaign, Solicitation or Sub Solicitation Codes not pushing to DP correctly. This would have only impacted those who had over 500 code options (active or inactive) for a given field type. This has been patched.

       Josh Bloomfield

We spruced up the look of your Orders Inbox (or Orders List) to make it a bit nicer and bit more functional, including:

  • Increasing the font size
  • Adding a photo preview of the items in the order
  • Making the donor/customer clearer in the list, as well as the type of customer and their location
