Screen Item Description

Payment method

To set up automatic payments for a recurring gift, select to pay installments automatically by Credit card or Direct debit. You can also select an "Other" payment method or select "None" to signify that the payment method is unknown. Select "Credit card - store last 4 digits for reference" when it is necessary to track this recurring gift for reporting or reconciling needs. You can also select "Cash" or "Check" to track the number of recurring gifts associated with either payment method. This may be useful in reports or for general reference.

Card type

Card number

For an automatic payment by Credit card, enter the constituent’s credit card number exactly as it appears on the card.

If you edit the card number and the constituent has other pledges or recurring gifts that use the original card number, you must select whether to update those commitments to use the new card number. If you select to update the commitments to use the new number, the program also updates any uncommitted batches that include the original credit card number.
