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

    Hi Everyone, 

    It is correct that the Tessitura API does not currently support adding a pledge. The approaches described here are common approaches that organizations take to allow them via the API. Some members have gone a step further to automate creation of the pledge from the submitted data, however, it is a fairly complex maneuver to do that. In my experience most have taken the first payment, added a CSI, then created the pledge manually. 

    While this is under consideration for a future release, we do not currently have plans to do this with the initial release of version 16. That may change, but wanted to give you the most current thinking on it. 

    Thanks,
