Donations

Review every gift your organisation has received.

Written by Adil Ali

The Donations area is the record of every online and offline gift. Each donation links to the donor, the campaign, and the allocated fund, so you can trace any gift end to end here.

Before you start

  • You need the Donations permission. Go to Reporting → Donations to check your access.

Find a donation

  1. Go to Reporting → Donations.

  2. Search, filter, or sort the list to find a specific gift.

  3. Open a donation to see its full details.

  4. If you have no donations yet, the page shows No donation record found.

What a donation record holds

The donation detail screen organizes information into specific sections.

Donation statuses

Donations move through different statuses as the system processes the payment. The dashboard tracks the exact state of every transaction.

  • Completed: The system processed the payment successfully.

  • Pending: The system awaits payment confirmation.

  • Failed: The payment processor declined the transaction.

  • Refunded: The platform returned the full payment to the donor.

  • Partial Refund: The platform returned a portion of the payment to the donor.

Download receipt

You can download a receipt directly from the donation record. Click the Download Receipt button on the top right side of the screen.

Refunds

You process refunds directly from the donation record. Click the Refund Donation button on the right side of the screen. The system records the refund amount and reason. Refunds track separately from the original gift to keep your reporting accurate.

Good to know

  • You report on Zakat donations separately from general giving.

  • The system records fees per donation, including the platform fee and the payment gateway fee.

  • The system keeps attribution data. If a gift comes through a fundraiser or team, the donation record stores the link.
