You now have the ability to set the default donation option to 'recurring' or 'one-time' on the one-page checkout template. Previously, the default was only 'recurring'. This setting is in Site Design > Edit in the One-Page Checkout tab.
Thanks Elephant Sanctuary!

You can now setup product specific custom emails for products that are scheduled to go live on your site at a future date. Previously, if a product had an active start date in the future, it was not possible to setup a custom email for it.
Thanks Kemp Center for the Arts!

We've improved your Givecloud dashboard to help you get a truer picture of how your organization is doing.
Thanks to Brenda, Steph and the team at Avanse for the great feedback!

The spirit behind the new Account Sidebar is to save you time by giving you quicker access to account management functions.
Automatic Account Creation and Linking
Prior to this update, orders were only created if the donor specified a password during payment. Now, at payment, an account will always be created, regardless of whether a password is provided. If the payment has an email or name-zip combination that matches an existing account, we will link to that account.
Instant Donor Overview
The new Account Sidebar that displays on the order screen shows you an overview of the account holder including their lifetime payments, as well as recent orders.
Similar Accounts
Givecloud will always try and automatically link your payments to an existing account. Givecloud now also shows you similar accounts based on email or name-zip matching. If Givecloud made the initial match incorrectly, you can quickly see potential alternatives and switch the account with one-click.
Easily Switch & Link Other Accounts
If you see the wrong account in the sidebar, you can easily switch the account one of two ways.
Quick Access to Merge & Login
The dropdown beside the account holder's name lets you quickly merge the account with an existing account, or quickly login as the account holder to see what they see.

Need to keep track of the current vendor for a product, where you got the product from or anything pertaining to the product that would be useful to your team? You now have the ability to leave internal notes on products. These notes are only available through the product in your jpanel and can be used however suites your organization.

We've discontinued support for split gifts in DonorPerfect while DonorPerfect works to improve their support for Split Gifts using the No-Calc feature as well as in their reporting.

Support for Organization vs Individual
When a donor identifies themselves as an organization, we now push that account type into DonorPerfect, as well as the organization name.
One Gift per Order Item
We've updated how gifts are created in DonorPerfect. Every item on the order will now generate a unique gift in DonorPerfect. For example: If there are 5 items ordered, there will be at least 5 gifts created. If you have taxes and shipping being pushed into DonorPerfect, those will continue to be pushed in as separate gifts as well.
Improved Donor Matching
We've implemented some improvements to our donor matching intelligence.
When matching a donor's first name:
giftudf.spouse)More Gift Data
You can now push more data into each gift created in DonorPerfect. Check your Settings & Admin > DonorPerfect settings panel.
More Tribute Data
You can now push the personal message entered during a tribute to the gift narrative field. And optionally, you can include an entire description of the tribute in the narrative (including who it's for and their contact info).
Josh Bloomfield
We've added support for images, videos and documents in your timeline posts. When adding a post to a timeline, you can either drag and drop files or click "Attachments" to add almost any type of file to the timeline post. The sponsor can then see these while reviewing their child's profile when they login. When the sponsor clicks on an image, it's displayed in a full-screen window where they can easily flip through all the images in a single post.

We've seen it in a lot of your donation forms - now you can track it and push it to your CRM. We call it the Referral Source... or "How'd You Hear About Us?".
To start, go to Settings & Admin > Accounts. Look for the 'Referral Sources' panel and follow the instructions.
To push that data into your CRM:

Previously, tax was being calculated incorrectly when there was multiple rules setup per city. This has been resolved.
-- Thanks Lacey and Tech Inc for finding this bug and helping us solve it!

Previously, the tax region was not defaulting to the correct region in certain circumstances when using the Point of Sale (when trying to default to the customer's tax region). This has been resolved.

Your donors can more easily access their tax receipts using the new 'My Tax Receipts' menu in their Donor Portal. We group tax receipts together by year.
You must have Tax Receipts enabled in Givecloud in order for this feature to be enabled.
If you haven't already, consider turning Givecloud's tax-receipting on. You can fully customize the template. Givecloud will generate an encrypted PDF that will be instantly emailed to your donor and made available in their Donor Portal.

We expanded our Tax Receipt feature to optionally issue tax receipts for sponsorship payments.
To enable Tax Receipts for your Child Sponsorship payments, go to Settings & Admin > Sponsorships, and look for the Tax Receipt setting. Be sure Tax Receipts are enabled on your Givecloud account.
-- Thanks Lift Them Up !

Previously, under certain conditions, the type of credit card used on a transaction wasn't being recorded on your Givecloud orders for easy reference. We've gone through all your orders and fixed it. We also improved tracking moving forward.

It's about time. We know ;) You can now track individual vs organization donations - and more!
To get started, go to Settings & Admin > Account and look for the new Account Types panel. You'll be able to manage the different account types, add some, remove some and choose which ones show up on your payment forms.
You can also map the Account Types over to DonorPerfect's Donor Types to keep everything in beautiful harmony.
