Regular Giving just got easier
mycause is passionate about making fundraising as easy for you as possible, so we’re happy to announce that we have three new ways we’ve improved Regular Giving for you.
- Brand new Regular Giving Widgets
- Integrated Network Tokenisation
- Control over existing regular gifts
Regular Giving Widgets
We have designed two fantastic, customisable regular donation widgets, which are easily embeddable into your website.
The first widget is clean and simple and fits neatly on any website. The second allows you to add “impact labels” with an image/icon and text that explains to your donors how their contribution will help.
With both widgets, you can set default gift amounts and frequencies, as well as locking the frequency and adding a gift end date option, for a ‘donate now, pay later’ style of giving.
What is Network Tokenisation?
Network Tokenisation enhances card management by automatically updating card details. Traditionally whenever a card number was updated, reissued, stolen, or lost the burden was on the cardholder to update their card details before using the card.
With Network Tokens, any update from a card issuer is passed through the card network and updated in mycause’s Braintree vault.
So now when a cardholder goes to checkout, the updated card/token is ready to use and can help avoid a failed transaction.
This means that your regular gifts will update automatically! No need to contact donors or update payment method when their card expires.
Consequently, recurring gifts are updated without any need for donor contact or payment method changes upon card expiration.
Next steps: Network Tokenisation has already been applied to all of your regular gifts, you don’t need to lift a finger!
You can see your regular donors by downloading either the ‘regular giving transaction & status’ or ‘regular giving new this month’ reports.
Manage your regular gifts
You now have the capability to deactivate donors’ regular gifts on their behalf if they request it.
Using the ‘Manage Transaction’ option next to a regular donation you can see all of the transaction details, edit a receipt name, and most importantly, stop future recurring donations for a donor.
As always, donors can also deactivate their regular gifts themselves, but now you can help those who need it.
