GabrielSoft - How donors log in and manage their account (Donor Self-Management)

There are two ways to allow your donors to set up an account via which they can log in and manage their recurring transaction(s) with your organization:

  1. Manually send account creation emails to your donors (individually or in bulk) - See instructions
  2. Enable the Auto Send Donor Account Creation Emails setting - See instructions

Here's a breakdown of how Donor Self-Management works with your GabrielSoft Payments account:

Donor receives account creation email

After you've taken one of the two steps listed above, your GabrielSoft Payments account will automatically generate a "Create Your Account" email via which donors can set up their account.

In the email, donors will be directed to a unique page on which they can choose a username and create a password for their account (pictured below).

NOTE: Once an account has been created, a donor can go to yourdomain.com/payments at any time to log in to their account and manage their recurring transaction(s).

(e.g., If your domain is corpuschristi.org, your donors will go to corpuschristi.org/payments to log in.)

How donors manage donations

Once a donor has successfully logged in to their account, they will be able to complete the following actions in the Donations tab (pictured above).

  • * Change the donation amount (site administrators can restrict a donor's ability to decrease the donation amount)
  • * Change the donation frequency (e.g., monthly vs. weekly)
  • * Change the donation status (e.g., pause or unpause a recurring transaction)
  • Cancel recurring transaction altogether
  • * Change Payment Type (e.g., from credit card to ACH)
  • Change Credit Card Number
  • Update Credit Card Expiration Date
  • Download a PDF or CSV file of their transactions.

NOTE: If preferred, you can edit/disable the settings marked with (*) in your Payments Settings.
