How to Turn Off the Process Pending Donations Queue

You may not want to use Process Pending Donations to process guest gifts. If you are getting ready to enter multiple new donations for new donors, for example, you can turn this queue off. This will cause the system to create a new Donor record for each guest gift. In this article, we will show you how to turn off this feature.


  1. Open Engage Settings from Welcome to CDM+ window
