Planning Center Giving: gifts that arrive by themselves

For adminsChecked Oct 14, 20261 minute to read

Connect Planning Center Giving once: funds and gifts come in, then new and changed gifts as they happen.

If your church gives through Planning Center Giving, connect it once on Bring in and gifts arrive by themselves.

Connect

  1. Open Bring in and connect Planning Center. This is its own connection for giving; a connection you already have for people and services keeps working as it is.
  2. Sign in to Planning Center as someone who may see giving and allow PraisePad to read it.
  3. PraisePad brings in your funds, then gifts with their funds and refunds from the start of last year, a page at a time. Large churches take a while; you can leave the page.

After that

New gifts, changes and deletions in Planning Center arrive as they happen. The card shows when the last gift came in. Sync now checks straight away. If something goes wrong, the card says what in plain words.

People already brought in from Planning Center are matched by their Planning Center record. Others go through the usual matching, and the ones that aren't sure wait on Who gave this?.

PraisePad only reads from Planning Center. It never changes your gifts there.
