GiveSmart Events

Improvements

  • Phone Number Validation:  in all locations where a phone number is being entered, new parameters have been implemented to ensure the number being entered is valid. 
  • Ticket Order: Admin Credit Card Options: to facilitate manual admin card entry during a ticket order, 2 new options appear: Credit Card Present & Credit Card Not Present. 
  • Automated Data Sync Payment Type: when split payments are made on the same order, this will now appear as 'Split' on Donor CRM once the data is synced. 
  • Item Donation Form Custom Text: ability to add custom information at the top of the item donation form
  • Credit Card Verification Update: when swiping a credit card as an Admin or Volunteer on behalf of a guest, when the name on the card does not match the name entered on the User Account in GiveSmart, a modal will appear for the admin to verify that the card is being entered on the correct account. 
  • Global Admin: for customers who own both GiveSmart Events & GiveSmart Fundraise, as an Organization Admin you can easily identify which admin in your organization have access to all GiveSmart modules.  From the Org Hub > Admins page, view the Global User tag.  
  • Bid History Report: additional fields for Email and Mailing Address have been added to the Bid History Report.
  • Ticket Purchaser Experience: a ticket purchaser will no longer be able to skip creating an account when purchasing a ticket.  This will allow all purchasers to make attendee modifications and will alleviate any frustration in managing the ticket order post-purchase.
