What is the Donate Now VT?
The Donate Now VT will give our merchants the ability to add a secure donation payment form to their existing website. This form is hosted on our server which eliminates the need for the merchant to obtain an SSL certificate for their website.
This form will collect all of the donor’s sensitive billing information along with the fund they are donating to and then process the payment through our gateway.
The merchant will also have the option of allowing their donors to sign up for automatic recurring transactions at the time of their initial donation.

They may review the batch in the terminal under Batch Management  Current Batch Detail.
After the batches are settled, they are available for reference in the terminal under Batch Management  Settled Batches.

12. Registering Recurring Customers
A list of all donors who selected the recurring donation option will be viewable in the terminal under Donate Now  Recurring  Donor Registrations after the initial transaction is settled.
The merchant should manage these recurring requests on at least a weekly basis.
After the merchant enters the date range they would like to view, a list of donors will appear.
The merchant will see 3 management options on the right-hand side of each record.
View Detail = This will provide the details for the recurring charges requested by the donor.
Original Trx = This will provide the details for the original transaction.
Add to Recurring = This will prompt the merchant to add this donor to the recurring group and schedule of their choice.
Please note: The merchant must have the Groups and Schedules already created under Transaction Management  Recurring Transactions  Group Management and Schedule Management.
