Automatic Batching Update Announcement
OnlineGiving.Org adjusted its recording of batches with deposit records to the day after the transaction is completed. Batches for new transactions are created the day after the transaction processes. Like before, the batch creates with an associated deposit record. But, unlike before, batches now contain a finalization date.
Embedded Giving
- A session for the MinistryPlatform Portal user; and
- A session for the OnlineGiving.Org user.
The OnlineGiving.Org session is specifically designed to terminate when the web browser is closed and/or the browser times out the user session. Meaning, the session is personal and short for security reasons.
OnlineGiving.Org also uses banking-level security for sessions and will auto-logout based on inactivity. Additionally, it only allows a single login session at any given time for a donor. Meaning, if a donor logs in to give on one device, all other devices are immediately signed out. This prevents session hijacking.
OnlineGiving.Org also trains church administrators to use the Virtual Terminal located in the church's OnlineGiving.Org control panel to complete gifts on behalf of the donor.
Metrics
OnlineGiving.Org's Metrics go way beyond standard numbers! They provide interactive visualization of donor activity and generosity trends. Wondering why we created our whole picture metrics? Learn more about it in this OnlineGiving.Org article.
