# Run ("Complete") Receipts

DonorWise requires receipts to be completed for all donations; they can either be printed or emailed. This is part of the security features of DonorWise; once a donation is receipted, a Receipt ID is permanently associated with the donation.

Note to users who do not speak English as their first language. In English, the word "receipt" can be both a noun and a verb. As a noun, the word "Receipt" means the printable acknowledgment of the gift, like this: "I have printed this receipt for you as an acknowledgment of your gift." As a verb it means to "Complete" or "Run" the receipts, like this: "I will receipt every donation at the end of each month or year." For the sake of consistency, in our documentation we try to use it only as a noun—the actual receipt document itself. For the action (verb), we will use "run" or "complete" the receipt.

About receipts:

1.On the receipt, your ministry's address, phone, and email are controlled by the information in the "Me" contact.

Menu Path: Lookup | Me

2.The receipt options are controlled in System Setup.

3.You can upload a logo to appear on your receipt.

4.You can add or edit the text on your receipt. This is a great way to deliver fresh ministry information to your donors on a regular basis, without sending additional emails.

Consolidate multiple donations into one receipt (per donor/currency) When a donor has multiple unreceipted donations, DonorWise can list all donations on one receipt instead of printing a separate receipt for each item.
