Recurring Donations 1.3 with Subscription Syncing

Give Recurring Donations version 1.3 allows you to sync your subscriptions with your payment gateway. Read more about this upgrade now.

Sometimes your site’s subscription data might get out of sync with your payment gateway — it happens. With Recurring Donations 1.3 you can now resolve that with the click of a button.

We recently launched version 1.3 of Give’s Recurring Donations add-on. One feature we’re particularly proud of is called Subscription Syncing.

Sometimes, you might notice that a charge has gone through at your payment gateway for a recurring donation. But when you login to your site, you don’t see that reflected in your Give Donation History. This can happen for a wide variety of reasons, but most of them involve the payment gateway trying to inform your site (and Give) that there’s a new payment and your site either wasn’t available or rejected the notification.

This is because most payment gateways only send that info once. If your site didn’t receive the notification, it’s gone.

With Subscription Syncing you can go into your subscription detail screen and click on “Sync Subscription” and Give will request all the Subscription info from your payment gateway and make sure that ALL your subscriptions reflect the correct amount, date, and status in your Give Donation History.
