MP eGiving Integration for PocketPlatform
Integrate with MP eGiving to use its giving features in the PocketPlatform app.
- MP eGiving uses donor matching based on name and email so you don't have as many default contacts.
- Donations are sent to MinistryPlatform in real time!
- Manage event transactions more efficiently. See when a payment or donation isn't synced with the Platform and have the opportunity to resync it.
- Transition donors to the new giving solution with a built-in migration tool.
- Donors can set up recurring gifts, manage payment methods, and view their giving history in real time! Their MP eGiving login is the same as their MinistryPlatform User account!
- Congregants can pay for registration events that you've set up in the Platform.
You can provide a seamless transition from several screens in your app to MP eGiving. As soon as you set up the Platform integration, it's ready to use in your app! If you'd like to customize the message that displays before users are sent to MP eGiving in their browser, contact Support.
How It Works
Once you set up MP eGiving, individuals can click Give in your navigation menu. If they're logged in to PocketPlatform, they're automatically logged in to MP eGiving and will see information on how to proceed. When they're ready, they're taken to their browser, where they're prompted to verify their information via mobile number. If the user doesn't have a mobile number, they can verify via email. Individuals who are logged in as guests are taken straight to the giving form without having to log in. Then, the individual can complete the donation on the MP eGiving site.

Quick Give in PocketPlatform
Allow authenticated users to quickly repeat their typical gift.
You can add a recipe on the PocketPlatform dashboard that prompts users to give. If an app user is logged in, they'll see a message about the program and amount they typically give, along with a button. This can help re-engage donors who have given before but don't currently have a recurring gift set up. When they click the Give [amount] button, it opens your MP eGiving form with the program and amount already filled in for them. They can change any of the information if they want to give to a different program or give a different amount.
- The recipe only displays for app users who are logged in and have a giving history in MP eGiving.
- The recipe looks at the donor's recent giving and identifies the program and amount they give to most consistently.
- The recipe will not display if a "typical gift" cannot be determined from the donor's giving history. For example, if donations occur regularly but each one is always divided equally between two funds, the recipe will not show one program over the other.
- If the donor already has a recurring/scheduled gift set up in MP eGiving, the recipe does not display.
Customize Your Quick Give Recipe
You can customize the recipe to display your own title, message, and button text. To do this, use the PocketPlatform App Manager. For steps, see Edit Your App Dashboard. The recipe is called Quick Give, and it's located under the Giving section.
Additionally, like other dashboard items, you can filter the recipe by audience, schedule, app version, platform, language, congregation, and/or location.
