Simple Donation Leverages RockRMS to Migrate Recurring Giving

Article Banner

Security Overview

You want to move to a new giving platform but fear the work and pain of getting all recurring gifts moved over, or even worse - losing recurring gifts in the process. And what's worse-- your old platform won't release your saved credit cards! (Note: Simple Donation will never do this. They promise to release your card data if you ever want to leave)

What can you do?

Simple Donation has built a system to manage migrating 100% of recurring giving when your old platform won't release donor's credit card data.

And they're using Rock to make the process easy.

Overview of the process

  • Simple Donation imports all the donors + recurring giving into Rock as inactive
  • Simple Donation adds a Migration Dashboard showing the status of donors migrating
  • Simple Donation tees up templates for you to bulk send to donors to add their credit card
  • You get alerts as donors update their cards
  • You control the timing of when each donor is moved to the new payment gateway

The goals of this approach

  • Move 95%+ of new donors to new system in a timely manner
  • Allow the old system to process the remaining 5% for as long as it takes them to migrate
  • 100% of recurring donations retained

In Detail

Step One, Import Donors Simple Donation creates records in Rock for a new Scheduled Transaction for each donor, but marks the Scheduled Transaction as inactive. Flipping it active will be the last step in the processs.

Regularly-updated infrastructure.

Our software infrastructure is updated regularly with the latest security patches. Our products run on a dedicated network which is locked down with firewalls and carefully monitored. While perfect security is a moving target, we work with security researchers to keep up with the state-of-the-art in web security.

We Protect Your Billing Information.

All credit card transactions are processed using secure encryption -- the same level of encryption used by leading banks. Card and bank information is tokenized, transmitted, and processed securely on a PCI-Compliant network.

We do not transmit or store any card data in our system -- only tokens.
