If your organization receives a donation directly and not through the online payment form, you have the option to add that gift to your contributions on your Organization's Profile Page. The donation will be added to the contribution total, your fundraising target (if enabled) and the list of donations at the bottom of your profile page.
To add a cash or physical check donation, you will use the Connect Virtual Terminal. There is an option called Custom Payment which allow you to add "other" types of transactions that you receive offline. Since there is no bank processing involved, there are no fees to add these types of transactions.
When you add the transaction, the process date will be the day you entered it into the Virtual Terminal. So if you are using this feature for a giving day, make sure you enter in Custom Payments on the giving day.
Important Note: For giving day participants, always refer to your giving day organizer's rules for participation and prize eligibility. Giving days often have specific rules as to what types of payments are allowed for prizes. Your giving day organizer determines their giving day rules and manages prizes, while Click & Pledge provides the software platform.
