We've improved the IP address that is sent to your payment provider when processing payments. Prior to this update, we were sending Givecloud's IP address each time a payment was processed. Now, when possible, we'll pass the donor/customer's IP address to your payment gateway. This allows your payment gateway to better understand the risk factors involved in processing the payment.

These email notification features have been designed to help you automate more of your donor communication.
There are three new notification types:
You can also offset the day when your email notifications are sent to be x days before or x days after the triggered date.
Here's some ideas:
Head to Settings & Admin > Email to start using these new settings!

We've updated our default theme to allow automatically loading a map into each child's profile page. Check Site Design > Edit > Sponsorship for the new setting.

You can now filter recurring donations by frequency (monthly vs annual, etc)

We heard you! You can create recurring donations that are NOT AUTOMATIC using the Point of Sale. Simply add a recurring item to the order and process the order with cash or check. Givecloud will create the recurring donation as a manual donation that is not automatically charged. When viewing the Recurring Payment Profile, you can use the gear icon and select "Charge Now" to manually charge ANY recurring profile - even automated ones.
Give it a shot!

We've improved tracking for the 'is sponsored' status of your children.
There's a new setting that allows you to define the number of sponsors required per child before a child is considered sponsored. For example: maybe it takes 4 sponsorships before a child is considered sponsored. Givecloud can properly track that a child is only fully sponsored when that threshold is reached.
Check Sponsorship Settings for more details.

We patched TY Letter Codes so they never get pushed to your DP system as a blank string. Prior to this fix, if you didn't set a TY Letter Code, TY Letter Code would be pushed to DP as a blank string which was causing reporting problems in DonorPerfect. We've patched this to push null as per conversations with the DP product team.

We listened to your feedback and streamlined your tribute letter process. Now, not only can you batch export letters to print, you can also batch export mailing labels!
See the new 'Print Labels' link under the Bulk options in the Tributes report. Check out the Advanced Settings > Mailing Labels for label output settings.
We'll be implementing these mailing labels on other exports soon enough :)

The POS now ensure the proper fields are required when a membership is purchased. Prior to this patch, it was possible to purchase a membership and not fill in required fields like Billing First Name, Last Name, etc.
