You can now track conversions from your donation campaigns by using an after donation tracking code! To use this option, go to your campaign editor and click the “Tracking” tab. Then, paste your tracking code, such as your Facebook Pixel conversion code, into the appropriate text box, and click “Save”.
We also added PDF invoices for your Donorbox services, which can come in handy for tax reporting purposes or for your accountants. To access these invoices, go to your Account and click the “Billing” link on the lefthand side. Then, scroll down to your billing history. The monthly PDF invoices will be located in the column on the far-right – just click the file icon to download them.
Plaid has added new banks to the ACH Donation option – there are now about 1,000! As a donor, if your bank does not come up on the first page of the ACH Bank Donation, we recommend using the search bar to search for your bank.
As a reminder, you must be a US customer to receive ACH donations. In order to enable the ACH donation option, you must go to your account and, on the “Account Info” page, scroll down until you find the “Enable ACH Bank Transfer Donation” toggle button. Once you’ve clicked the button to activate ACH Bank Transfers, update your account and you’re all set.
Stay tuned – recurring bank donations are coming in a few weeks!
We know every country looks at time and dates differently. The default timezone for most organizations is GMT. However, by going to your account and clicking the “Localization” button on the right, you can now change your localization settings. This includes changing your time zone as well as your preferred date format (mm/dd/yy, dd/mm/yyyy, etc.).
Once you update these settings, all of your donation timestamps will change to match your preferences.
Tired of having to export your donations CSV file in order to access all the additional information associated with your donation? Good news!

You can also sort by total donation amount!

To all the ambitious nonprofits out there who create an impressive amount of campaigns on Donorbox, we have a new tool to make your lives easier! You can now duplicate your campaigns with the click of a button, so as to keep the same base for all your campaign forms.

Attention nonprofits, we just launched a new feature! You can now send yourself test receipt emails to see first-hand how your donation receipt template looks when it is sent out to your donors.
There are two types of email receipts you can test, the first being for initial and one-time donations.
Start by heading over to your Donorbox dashboard and clicking the “Edit” button by the campaign whose receipt email you wish to test.
Go to the “Email” tab of your campaign editor and, once you have drafted you email template, click the gray “Send Test Email” button.
This will send a test email to the email address you used to create your Donorbox account. You should get a popup notification letting you know that the email has been sent.
The second type of email receipt you can test is the one for subsequent monthly donations. To do so, go to your Donorbox Account page and click the “Receipt Email Settings” link on the left-hand side.
Here again, once you have drafted your email template, click the gray “Send Test Email” button.
That’s it! Your test email will be waiting for you in your inbox, complete with a randomized name and donation amount.
We are very excited to bring you a highly effective integration to help you get matching donations!
Donorbox has partnered with Double the Donation, the leading corporate giving data company, to give your donors the best employer matching experience. By encouraging and simplifying the corporate matching process for donors, this integration will help you grow your revenue.
