━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━PledgeNow sends receipts on every payment automatically
PledgeNow generates receipts and thank yous automatically.
Every pledge includes Gift Aid, donation type tracking, and HMRC-ready exports.
There's no legal requirement to issue receipts for every donation, but it's considered best practice. Receipts build donor trust, provide records for Gift Aid claims, and help donors claim higher rate tax relief. For Gift Aid, you must keep records of declarations.
A good receipt includes: charity name and registration number, donor name and address, donation amount and date, payment method, Gift Aid declaration status, and a unique reference number. For Zakat or other Islamic donation types, include the type clearly.
Yes. Every pledge and payment on PledgeNow includes automatic acknowledgement with full donation details, Gift Aid status, and donation type. Charities can export complete records for HMRC at any time.
