Custom field values for each gift in Gift Cart

Each gift in Gift Cart can now have its own custom field values. Custom fields let you add your own information to donations, such as an appeal code or a fund code for your CRM.

Until now, custom field values in Gift Cart were set for the whole catalog, so donations to every gift in it were recorded with the same values. Now donations to a gift are recorded with the values set for that gift. Gifts that don’t have their own values use the catalog values. You can set values gift by gift, or for many gifts at once with a CSV file.

Gift values help when you need to tell gifts apart beyond their designation, for example to:

• pass a product or item code for each gift to your CRM
• report on donations per gift when several gifts share one designation
• give each gift its own appeal code

Gift values appear wherever custom fields do: on donation records, in exports, and in CRM integrations. If your website uses the JavaScript API, each gift in a Gift Cart payment also comes with its own custom field values in donation events.
