In this case, we have restyled the error and success messages on sign-in pages. These follow ongoing refinements to the user experience -- including everything from small size adjustments on buttons and fields to tweaking how texts wrap -- and are part of two ongoing structural improvement projects: (1) a revised flow that will see all Give Lively members (donors and nonprofit administrators) logging in from the same place and (2) a more unified approach to information available to users/members with multiple Give Lively identities (donors, fundraisers, nonprofit administrators).

This was already the case for all nonprofits whose Stripe accounts are restricted they connect to Give Lively, but is now also true for nonprofits that connect Stripe accounts to Give Lively. Stripe restricts accounts when, according to Stripe, “Additional information usually needs to be collected to enable” an account.

This is in anticipation of two ongoing structural improvement projects: (1) a revised flow that will see all Give Lively members (donors and nonprofit administrators) logging in from the same place and (2) a more unified approach to information available to users/members with multiple Give Lively identities (donors, fundraisers, nonprofit admins).

Learn about thank-you messages for Event Ticketing pages.

The ability of the Event Ticketing page to sell tickets or collect donations for the (closed) campaign is also blocked. This is in keeping with how other Give Lively donation pages work once the life of an associated Campaign Page has run its course. Learn how to build an Event Ticketing page, how to close or cancel an Event Ticketing page and how to close a Campaign Page.

The new, clean password reset style anticipates two things: a revised flow that will see all Give Lively members (donors and nonprofits administrators) logging in from the same place, and a shift from our current Donor Portal to a more universal User Portal.

This occurred on some donations when donors agreed to cover transaction fees. A note about transaction fees: Give Lively offers donors the option to cover Stripe’s transaction fees, except when donations are made via a digital wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay). If donors decline to cover fees, they are subtracted directly from the donation. When accepted, the fee coverage legally increases the value of a donor’s contribution, the gross value of which is necessarily reflected in a nonprofit’s fundraising totals. This is where the rounding error occurred.
