Instant Credit Card Authorization
Wow. It took exactly 6 hours for one of our clients to notice the new security option under Utilities, Security that turns off and on instant credit card authorization. Though it's not active yet, we plan on releasing this exciting functionality very soon.
Basically, when you enter a gift in DonorPerfect, you'll have an option to process a credit card on the Gift Screen. This will allow real-time authorization and validation of the card, and also set-up the process to collect the funds from the donor's credit card account. This authorization process is identical to the same process that you see in restaurants, retail stores, hotels etc., except that there's no physical card reader-you simply type in the credit card account information and expiration date.
You will need to set-up a credit card merchant account, and we're making that process easy too!
Look for this and other upgrades soon! In fact, we're putting the final touches on our newsletter which will announce all the new features of the next upgrade. Look for it in you email box shortly!

Great question. Since linked gifts are typically soft credits or split gifts resulting from one paper check, the credit card process will send one transaction.
However, you will be able to send multiple transactions if you wish.
Thanks for posting! It's getting exciting around here as we approach our release date!!!
