GiveBig: Allow Transactions on a Public Computer by Safelisting Your Computer’s IP

Updated

For Giving Days it is a common for organizations to make available a computer where supporters can make donations. To make sure this works properly an organization must safelist their IP address.

What is an IP address? It is essentially a sequence of numbers assigned to a computer. For our purposes it serves as a location system to know where transactions are originating from.

Why you may wish to Safelist your IP address? By adding the computer’s IP address, it will allow those donations to process. It tells your account that this IP address is safe for these donations. If you do not safelist your IP address and multiple transactions occur, it may block donations from occurring on this computer because of the fraud protection.

 

Instructions to Safelist your IP address.


This is a 2 step process. First you will need to create your custom fraud protection profile. Second, you add it to your GiveBig settings.


Step 1: Create your Custom Fraud Profile

  1. Login to your CONNECT.
  2. Click on Launcher and select Settings.
  3. Click Fraud Settings and click New Fraud Profile to create new policy. Open Safelist section.
