Frequently Asked Questions

Can I import donor history?

There are a few ways to input donor history into Giving: manually enter donations from other systems, build an integration to import donations using our API, or check to see if your current donation management provider already has an integration with Giving. You can also import your donor’s contact information into our member database, Planning Center People.

Will Giving replace my general ledger or offer a Quickbooks integration?

Giving is not a replacement for your general ledger. You still need a general ledger to track spending, set budgets, cut checks, etc. We do not have a Quickbooks integration, but we do offer CSV exports that can be imported into most accounting software.

Can I use a different payment processor than Stripe, like Paypal?

Stripe is the only payment processor supported by Planning Center Giving. However, donations from other payment systems can be added manually in Batches or programmatically using the Giving API. A few companies have built a full integrations with Giving, allowing you to use Giving and another donation system in tandem.
