Kindrid

Kindrid is an entirely new approach to unleashing generosity in the Church. It changes how people talk about giving, how it's experienced, structured, and sustained, and how it works.

This integration pushes donations made through Kindrid into the Platform as they process. Admins can then create Batches and Deposits from within the Platform to complete processing donations.

Cost

There is no charge from ACS Technologies for configuring the integration.

Fees from Kindrid are assessed as per each church's individual contract agreement.

Fund Mapping

Once your integration is set up, you'll need to configure the Fund Mappings to sync Kindrid Funds with MinistryPlatform Programs.

Donor Matching

If there is no match, the donation matches to ***Default, Contact. The transaction details contain all of the donation information, including the name and email to help the admin assign the donation to the proper donor. You can then go to Tools > Assign Donor to assign and create donors.

Support

Support is provided by Kindrid.

  1. Go to Administration > API Clients.
  2. Click New.
  3. Enter Kindrid for Display Name and Client ID.
  4. Enter a Client Secret. This is the "password" used by Kindrid to access your MinistryPlatform database.
    Tip: We recommend using the Password Generator to generate a secure value. Click the magic wand icon wand with surrounding stars beside the field to open the Password Generator and select the options you want.
  5. Select the Client User you created for this integration.
    Note: The Client User you choose or 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.
