Taking pledges online

Jess Levy

Hi
Is anyone taking pledges online? We are looking to allow patrons to make a pledge through our website where the full value of the pledge would record in contributions with a payment schedule (based on a billing schedule set in system tables) recorded for future payments. Has anyone done this successfully?
Thanks

    We have recently started working on this. As far as I know the API cannot create a pledge. My idea is that the website would take a payment of the amount of the first payment of the pledge, put the money on account, and add order notes about what schedule/full amount the patron wants.

    Then a stored procedure would run overnight nightly, that takes the info from the order note and basically run it through the contribution import utility to create the pledge/schedule/pay off the first payment.

    Would love to hear if anyone is actually doing this or has a better way of automating it!
