Some parishioners may be uncomfortable or find it difficult to give online. They may, instead, call or stop by your office to provide or change their giving information. For these over-the-phone or in-person contributions, a PDS administrator can enter gifts on their behalf after completing a paper authorization form. Note that this increases the scope of your PCI responsibility.

When you add or edit a gift, you must complete, file, and store authorization forms. This helps your church maintain a paper trail and comply with online giving documentation requirements.
