When Almabase pushes gifts to
Raiser's Edge
, we now capture payment methods more accurately than ever—especially for PayPal
and Venmo
through BBMS.What’s New
- Accurate PayPal & Venmo tagging– no more grouping them under “Credit Card.”
- Smarter event handling– correct method selected even with multiple event payments.
- Consistent across events & giving– every gift synced to RE will show the right payment method.
💡 How It Works
Events
- 1 transaction → that method is used.
- Multiple transactions → most common method wins; ties go to the first payment.
Giving
Always uses the single payment method.
BBMS transactions
We now check the
pay_pal_funding_source
field to correctly identify PayPal or Venmo.Why It Matters
- Accurate reporting in RE for finance and reconciliation
- Clear insight into donor payment preferences
- Fully automated—no changes required from your side
