Take care
A donation slide needs an online donate page. Without one the slide says donations aren't available yet. Set one up first: see Take donations online and by card.
Which plan
Donation slides need a Masjid or Network licence.

Open Donations

Turn on Weekly total on your screens
It's in the dark band on the Overview, and on the Your screens card in Ways to give.
Every donation slide on every screen now shows "Given this week" with the total since Saturday. It adds up card readers, online gifts and the cash you record.
- Cash you record and new card reader takings show on screens within moments.
- Online gifts and edits show at the screen's next refresh, at least once a day.
- Screens need version 1.12.1 or newer to show the total. Older screens show the slide without it. See Keep your screens up to date.
The Your screens card on Ways to give lists which screens have a donation slide, so you can check it's showing where you want.
