Your Salesforce Org: A Gift Processing Machine

Once you get rolling with Elevate, most of your gifts might come from a Giving Page. The data is then imported to Salesforce and Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) to automatically create new opportunities, payments, and recurring donation records.

Process Single Payments

If you need to enter a single, one-time donation by credit card or Automated Clearing House (ACH) bank transfer you can use Gift Entry in NPSP.

Batch One-Time Transactions

If you have a bunch of gifts to process all at once — like when you process direct mail responses — you can process credit card transactions in batches using Gift Entry.

Manage Recurring Donations

Donors can create recurring donations by selecting the weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly donation options on a Giving Page. When they complete the transaction, your payment processor authorizes the payment and Elevate creates the associated recurring donation, opportunity, and payment records in Salesforce.

To help our customers achieve positive outcomes faster with Salesforce, our architects are sharing implementation best practices in a new expert insights blog series. Pushpi Mandal, architect director, contributed to this post.

1. Deliver faster results with out-of-the-box functionality

Speed and agility are important to our customers. You can deliver results faster by prioritizing out-of-the-box (OOTB) functionality before considering custom development.

2. Focus on the foundation

Before releasing any services, apps or capabilities to production, you must ensure the soundness of the technical architecture upon which the foundation is built. As with the construction of a house, a solid foundation is critical to the success and longevity of what’s built on top.

3. Create a playbook and process for delivering new features

Eventually, as you begin to roll out new features, your end users and stakeholders will make requests and ask for new functionality. A playbook and process for managing these requests will allow you to scale, and prioritize the requests against key business needs.
