You can provide a seamless transition from your giving app to Vanco. To do this, you just need to add the Vanco Campaign ID to the Program record. Once you set the fund, its Statement Title displays in the Designation drop-down list in PocketPlatform.

Locate a Vanco Campaign ID

1. Log in to MyVanco using your email address as the Username.
2. In the navigation menu, click Tiles.
3. In the list, locate the Tile of the fund you want.
4. Click the ellipsis at the end of that fund's row, and select Edit tile.
   
   

   

5. Look at the URL in your browser's search bar. The Campaign ID for this fund is at the end, after "campaign/".
   
   

   

6. Take note of the Campaign ID.

Repeat these steps for each fund you plan to set up.

Set Up Funds

1. Log in to MinistryPlatform.
2. Go to Programs, and locate the Program record you want to display as a designation in the app.
3. Open the record, and locate the Stewardship Information section.
4. Enter the Vanco Campaign ID associated with this Program.
   Tip: This is a good time to check that the Statement Title is entered the way you want it to display in the app.
   
5. Save the record.

This fund displays (using the Statement Title value) in the Designation drop-down list in PocketPlatform. When the user is directed to the Vanco website, the Vanco fund will be selected.

Organize Funds

By default, your app displays all Programs that have a value in the Vanco Campaign ID field. These Programs show in ascending order, sorted first by Online Sort Order then by Statement Title. (Statement Title is used because it is typically the most friendly name for the fund.)

• If you don't enter an Online Sort Order on any Program records, they're sorted alphabetically by Statement Title in the app.
• If you enter an Online Sort Order for some but not others, the funds without a value are sorted alphabetically before the ones with a value.

Here's an example to show this information in action. Let's say you have the following Program records:

 
Your app would display:

Your Offering
Church Tithes
Benevolence
Global Missions

If you decide to add an Online Sort Order of "4" to the Special Offering Program record, then your app would display:

Church Tithes
Benevolence
Global Missions
Your Offering

Remove Funds

You can remove a fund from being visible in the app.

1. Log in to MinistryPlatform.
2. Go to Programs, and locate the associated Program record.
3. Open the record.
4. Locate the Vanco Campaign ID, and clear the field.
   
5. Save the record.

This fund no longer displays in the Designation drop-down list in PocketPlatform.
