Pay a Pledge Directly to a Designated Account
Pledges and designation payments can come in many forms. They can be made directly from the donor to his/her designated account, they can be from his/her organization to the designated account, or they can come from a third-party processor to the designated account.
How should you record those pledges and payments and designations while making sure that:
- Andar will not create a Balance Due for the donor, and
- The envelope Deposit will exclude that payment in the check-and-balance process, and
- The Donor Choice Payout Process will not count that designation when determining the payable amounts for that designated agency?
We have an answer for you! On the pledge/payment transaction, use one of the two Pay Direct Payment types within Andar, “Pass Through” or “No Admin. Pay Direct.” Always make sure that:
- The pledge is fully designated
- The pledge and payment amounts are equal to each other (and are also equal to the total of the pay-direct designation)
- The pledge doesn’t include any non-pay-direct designations
