Release Date: October 2020

Enhanced Recurring Donations

This release introduces support for the new Salesforce Enhanced Recurring Donations Module for NPC & NPSP. It is now possible to collect recurring credit card donations through Stripe and PayU using RaiseNow touchpoints. You can even use Stripe and PayU in parallel, for example if you are fundraising in different countries - all donation data is sent to Salesforce immediately. Support for additional payment service providers and payment methods will follow soon.

New view for monitoring data transfer

This release provides a new monitoring service which we will roll out to customers in a pilot program starting November. You can see at a glance whether all data was transferred smoothly or if you need to take action somewhere. Please contact us through this form if you are interested in participating.

Subscription Management for Enhanced Recurring Donations

These features, already available for the legacy recurring donation module, are now also supported for Enhanced Recurring Donations. We hope they will save fundraisers time on handling daily tasks regarding subscriptions.

Update Recurring Donation Amount in Salesforce

If you update the amount for an enhanced recurring donation in Salesforce, the corresponding subscription in RaiseNow will be updated automatically and future charges will be executed with the specified amount.

Cancel a Recurring Donation in Salesforce

Users can cancel an enhanced recurring donation directly in Salesforce. This change will be automatically propagated to RaiseNow and the corresponding subscription will not be charged in the future.

Improved support for Camt.054 processing

We have improved our reconciliation engine as well as our integration with Salesforce to create contacts, opportunities and payments in Salesforce based on transaction records retrieved from a Camt.054 file. We now support payments with reference numbers to match existing records in Salesforce as well as payments without reference numbers such as a direct online banking transaction.

Upgrading Process

If those improvements sound exciting to you learn here how to update your current version. Two updates are necessary:

1. A component update on the side of RaiseNow
2. An upgrade for the managed package installed in your organization to version 1.12, available through the AppExchange

Attention: Please contact us prior to updating the package to coordinate deployment of the RaiseNow component.

The RaiseNow component will be backwards compatible until version 1.10 of our managed package.
