We've improved your Givecloud dashboard to help you get a truer picture of how your organization is doing.

- We added a second series to the 60 day revenue visual for your recurring revenue so you can easily compare your one-time and recurring revenue.

Thanks to Brenda, Steph and the team at Avanse for the great feedback!

Account Side-Bar for Orders
New
Josh Bloomfield
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.
- Select the drop-down beside the account holder's name and select 'Switch'
- Use the 'Similar Accounts' section and choose one of the similar accounts to link.
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.

12+ Improvements to DonorPerfect Integration
Improvement
Josh Bloomfield
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:
- we scan the first name so it will match "linda" with "josh & linda" (we know some of you love mixing spouse names into the first_name field)
- we now search the 'Spouse' field (if you have it enabled -
giftudf.spouse) - when the donor is an organization, we match on the organization field in DP
More Gift Data
You can now push more data into each gift created in DonorPerfect. Check your Settings & Admin > DonorPerfect settings panel.
- Order Number - Givecloud can push the order number into a custom field of your choice.
- Payment Method - Givecloud can push the payment method used in a custom field of your choice.
- Is a Recurring Payment - Givecloud can push a Y or N value into a custom field of your choice to help you see which gifts were created through an overnight automated EFT.
- Item Description - Givecloud can push a description of the item to a custom field of your choice.
- Item Qty - Givecloud can push the quantity of the item ordered into a custom field of your choice.
- Referral Source ("How'd you hear about us?") - Givecloud can push the answer to "How you heard about us?" to a custom field of your choice on the Donor record.
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).
