Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Enter Donations for Donors?
Rapid Transaction Entry Image

The Rapid Transaction Entry function allows a church or organization to quickly enter in a donation on behalf of a donor without having them create a donor account of their own. This feature instead creates an account for them and is especially useful if your church or organization receives pledge cards from your donors.

Note: This feature is only available for collections. The Rapid Transaction Entry cannot be used for event payments.

  1. Log in to your WeShare site using your email address and personal password.
  2. Click on the Admin button to access the administrative Control Panel.
  3. Go to the Giving Management toolbar and click on the Rapid Transaction Entry icon.
  4. Select the Collection the donor has chosen to support from the drop-down menu.
  5. Enter in the donor’s personal information. Required fields are indicated by an asterisk. Note: E-mail address is not a required field, but it is strongly advised.
  6. Enter in the donor’s payment type and account information.
  7. Indicate whether the donor is making a One Time or Recurring donation from the drop down menu. For recurring donations, select the frequency of the donation.
  8. Enter a Transaction Comment if needed and click Next to proceed to the confirmation screen.
  9. Confirm the transaction information, check the I Agree box and click Next to complete.

How Do I Submit a Donor Refund Request?

All refund requests are processed through the LPi Finance Department. Please allow 7-10 business days for the refund to reach your user’s account. To process your request, please email your Engagement Manager the following information:

  • Name, City, and State of the parish or organization
  • First and last name of the user who has requested the refund
  • Transaction date
  • Refund amount

Once we receive the information we’ll be in touch as soon as possible!

How Do Members Sign Up and Donate?

WeShare used to require members to set up an account before they made a donation. Today, anyone can easily create an account and donate to a giving opportunity at the same time.

  1. From the main WeShare page, your member simply clicks on the collection they wish to give to.
  2. Your member then clicks to set up a Recurring or One-Time donation and selects a recurrence pattern.
  3. Your member fills out all of their payment and contact information on a single form.
  4. Once the information is filled out, the donation will be finalized and the account will be created. They will receive a Success notification and a welcome e-mail, receipt, and login information will sent to the e-mail address provided.
