Elevate Your Giving: Complete PDS + Vanco eGiving Integration Guide

**Wednesday, September 23 **

11:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST 

Led by a Vanco Integration Expert 

We invite you to join us for a walkthrough of the complete transition process, demonstrating step by step how Vanco eGiving can be configured within your Parish Data System. 

About Vanco eGiving 

Vanco eGiving is a comprehensive giving solution that integrates directly with the Parish Data System you currently use. Through features such as Auto Connect, Online Giving, Online Pledges, and Card Swipe Payments, it allows you to manage every form of giving—recurring pledges, one-time gifts, online donations, and in-person payments—within your existing PDS workflow. 

Why This May Be of Interest 

Many parishes find value in offering flexible giving options that meet their community where they are, whether that means giving online, establishing recurring donations, or using a card during services. With full PDS integration, Vanco eGiving is designed to reduce manual data entry, improve accuracy, and provide more robust reporting. 

Integration with Your Existing PDS System 

Vanco eGiving is built to work directly within the Parish Data System you already use, offering access to Payment and Donation Entry, Auto Connect eGiving, Online Giving pages, fund filtering, batch exports, and additional features—all within a single, cohesive experience. 

During this session, we will cover: 

• Navigating to Contributions → eGiving → eGiving Setup to configure your Vanco integration 
• Entering your case-sensitive credentials (Account Name, User ID, Password, Client ID, and iFrame ID) 
• Selecting between using Vanco for all eGiving or credit cards only 
• Importing recurring payments as PDS Terms and Rates, and setting the "Ignore Recurring Payments Before" date 
• Using the Test Connection feature to verify your setup prior to going live 
• Checking eGiving status and monitoring batch processing 
• Working with date range filtering, fund filtering, and exporting batch totals to PDS 
• Understanding the security features that protect your banking information 
• Reviewing best practices drawn from real-world parish experience 

This session is entirely optional and offered as a resource should you wish to learn more. We welcome you to join us, and look forward to answering any questions you may have.
