Record a collection

  1. 1

    Press Record cash

    It's at the top of Donations. On the Dashboard it's Record a donation.

  2. 2

    Choose Cash, Bank transfer or Cheque

  3. 3

    Type the amounts

    For cash, add one line for each box or envelope, such as "Main hall box" and "Sisters' box". Press Add another box or envelope for more. For a bank transfer or cheque, type the amount and the reference or cheque number.

  4. 4

    Choose the day it came in

    Today, last Friday's Jumu'ah, or Pick a day.

  5. 5

    Choose what it counts toward

    General fund (no appeal) or one of your running appeals. If you pick an appeal, its progress bar moves.

  6. 6

    Choose what it's for

    General, Sadaqah, Zakat, Lillah or Fitrana.

  7. 7

    Add a name if they want a receipt

    Turn on From a named donor and type their name, and their email if they'd like the receipt emailed.

  8. 8

    Press Record

The whole collection is saved as one donation, with each box listed underneath. If your screens show the weekly total or an appeal's progress, they update within moments.

Good to know

If you record cash on the same day each week, the Overview reminds you when that day passes and nothing has been recorded.

A receipt isn't sent automatically. If you added an email, the donation waits in Needs you until you press Email receipt.

Change or delete a donation

  • To fix a mistake, press the three dots on the donation in All donations and choose Edit. You can change the amount, type, appeal, date and donor. Then press Save changes.
  • To move a card reader payment into an appeal, edit it and change Counts toward.
  • To remove a donation, choose Delete. It comes off your totals and any appeal.
  • If a payment shows as Waiting and the money has now arrived, choose Mark as received.

Screens show edits and deletions at their next refresh, which happens at least once a day.

Refunds

Give the refund where the money was taken: in your SumUp app or your Stripe account. Then edit or delete the donation in MasjidConnect so your totals stay right. Refunds made in SumUp or Stripe don't come across by themselves.
