Signing in and what an account adds

Updated

Lire en français

You can make a cash receipt without an account. An account adds the features below.

Sign in

Click Sign In / Create Account in the Account & Credits box at the top of Create a receipt. The same box is on the Bulk and Correct pages. On the Credits page, click Sign In near the top, or Sign in to Buy on a package. When you are signed in, the box says Welcome back!, shows your credits, and has your account menu.

What an account adds

  • Credits and passes. You buy them while signed in. See Credits and passes.
  • Gift-in-Kind and Gift with Advantage. These are disabled until you sign in. See Gift types.
  • Corrections. They need an account and cost 2 credits, or are covered by a pass.
  • Preview Receipt. You see how the receipt will look before you generate it. A preview costs nothing and isn't counted as a receipt.
  • Saved charity details. After each receipt, your charity's details are saved and filled in next time. See below.
  • Saved logo and signature. See Logo and signature.
  • Email to the donor. It is available when the receipt is paid with credits or a pass.

Saved charity details

After each successful receipt, these are saved: registration number, organization name, address, location issued, organization email, thank-you message, sign-off, signee name, donation website and receipt language. The next time you open Create a receipt signed in, the form is filled in for you. If you have already started typing, it doesn't overwrite what you typed.

Donor details aren't part of the saved details that fill the form. The short record kept for each receipt does hold the donor name and gift amount. See What we keep.

What an account doesn't add

An account is not a record of your receipts. On the Create Receipt page there are no saved drafts and no list of past receipts, and the site can't re-download a receipt for you. See What we keep.

If something goes wrong

  • The form isn't filled in after I sign in. Details are saved after you generate a receipt while signed in. A first-time account starts empty.
  • My credits don't show. Wait a moment and reload. The balance is in the Account & Credits box.
  • I can't choose Gift-in-Kind. Make sure you are signed in, then check you have credits or a pass.
