Rakefet and Givebutter
Givebutter:
First let's discuss what is Givebutter!Givebutter is a very modern and donor-friendly fundraising tool that integrates into RakefetOnline as a third-party app.Givebutter is free to use (Read more about the FREE part). It is very easy to set up, and within minutes you can have live campaigns ready to collect contributions. The Givebutter campaigns can be designed in various formats, such as Forms, Pages and Events. In either case, these campaigns can be added to your website, emailed, text messaged, and shared on social media and messaging. Payments can be made into the forms by Venmo, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Credit Card, ACH and Cash. As the payments are received, they are tracked into Givebutter and organized by the campaign.
Givebutter with Rakefet:
When you use Givebutter, you can request an API key that is unique for your account (Account Settings--> Integrations -->API, Expand). With this API key, you can enter it into the Givebutter Setup within RakefetOnline-Hybrid (Copy from the Givebutter API Account Settings and paste into the RakefetOnline Setup--> Givebutter).
Once you link to applications, your Givebutter campaigns will be ready to set up within RakefetOnline. In RakefetOnline, you can assign GL account numbers to your campaigns. As the campaign contributions feed into RakefetOnline, they will be ready to review in the Givebutter Reconciliation page. Families who match in the database will auto reconcile. Families that do not, can be manually matched to their transaction. When transactions are matched, they can then be found in the RakefetOnline-Hybrid transaction history and the Member transaction history. All of which will be synced between RakefetOnline and Rakefet for Windows to maintain account balances and financial reports.
