Integration Configuration

  • An account with Generosity by LifeWay must be established first.
Tip: Best Practice is to create a NEW Company Contact using the Add/Edit Company tool, and then create a NEW User for each Integration. Set up your Giving Provider API Client before configuring this integration. Be sure to grant the new API User Administrative rights!
  1. Go to Administration > API Clients.
  2. Click New.
  3. Enter Generosity for Display Name and Client ID.
  4. Enter a Client Secret. This is the "password" used by Generosity by LifeWay to access your MinistryPlatform database. We highly recommend using a password generator to have your Client Secret be very unique and secure.
  5. Select the appropriate Client User.
    Note: The Client User you choose/create must have a Security Role with Administrator rights.
  6. For Authentication Flow, select Authorization Code, Implicit, Hybrid, Client Credentials, or Resource Owner. All other settings can remain the same.
  7. Click Save.

Integration into MinistryPlatform

Donations automatically transfer into MinistryPlatform. However, you will need to assign the donors using the Assign Donor Tool.
Note: If the Designated Fund Name in Generosity does not match a Statement Header in MinistryPlatform, the iDonate Fund name will be listed in the Notes section of the Donation Distribution.
  1. Go to Stewardship > Donations.
  2. Change the view to "0. Reassign Donor" to find unassigned donors.
  3. Run the Assign Donor Tool.
