Importing Donation Info

[Kevin Sawatzky]

We are currently looking at setting up an app for donors to give via their smartphones. Some of the companies out there indicate that the donation info can be exported as a CSV file and then imported into the donation software. When I look at the import requirements for Powerchurch, it says the file must contain the envelope number. How is that info put into the CSV file when the donation is made via a smartphone text?

The import system is designed to be used with online donation systems that already have the user's information including the envelope number. Powerchurch partners with Vanco to provide this service which includes a mobile app:

The only other way to do this right now is manually edit the file and add the envelope number.
