Vanco Integration
Integrate with Vanco to use its giving features in the PocketPlatform app.
You can provide a seamless transition from several screens in your app to Vanco. To do this, you just need to add the Vanco Campaign ID to the Program record. Once you set the fund, its Statement Title displays in the Designation drop-down list in Vanco.
How It Works
When individuals click Give in the app menu, they stay in the app and see the available options. They can select the designation or fund to give to, and enter the amount (at least $3.00). Then they click Give to enter their payment information on the vendor's website. Once the transaction is complete, they'll see a confirmation message and be directed back into the app where they left off.
Find a Vanco Campaign ID
Repeat these steps for each fund you plan to set up.
Set Up Funds
The fund displays (using the Statement Title value) in the Designation drop-down list in PocketPlatform. When the individual is directed to the Vanco website, the Vanco fund will be selected.
Organizing Funds
By default, your app displays all Programs that have a value in the Vanco Campaign ID field. These Programs show in ascending order, sorted first by Online Sort Order then by Statement Title. (Statement Title is used because it is typically the most friendly name for the fund.)
- If you don't enter an Online Sort Order on any Program records, they're sorted alphabetically by Statement Title in the app.
- If you enter an Online Sort Order for some but not others, the funds without a value are sorted alphabetically before the ones with a value.
Here's an example to show this information in action. Let's say you have the following Program records:
Program ID | Program Name | Statement Title | Online Sort Order | Vanco Campaign ID |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Tithes | Church Tithes | 1 | ABC-123 |
2 | Special Offering | Your Offering | --- | DEF-456 |
3 | Missions | Global Missions | 3 | GHI-789 |
4 | Building Fund | Sanctuary Fund | 2 | --- |
5 | Benevolence | Benevolence | 2 | JKL-012 |
