Payments
Recurring Donations
Reliable income for your mission
Recurring Donations provide the predictable, reliable income stream your mission depends on. Set up monthly, quarterly, or annual recurring gifts with smart retry logic that automatically reattempts failed charges, card expiry alerts that prompt donors to update payment methods before charges fail, and self-service management so donors can adjust amounts and frequencies on their own.
The Problem
Without smart recurring donation management, failed payments silently erode your monthly revenue, expired cards go unnoticed until sponsorships lapse, and staff spend hours chasing payment updates manually.
The Solution
With HYS Recurring Donations, smart retry logic and proactive card expiry alerts recover most failed payments automatically, while donor self-service reduces the administrative burden on your team.
How it works
Donors choose their schedule
Donors select monthly, quarterly, or annual giving during checkout. Pre-selected defaults guide them toward the frequency that matches your program.
Smart retry on failures
When a charge fails, the system automatically retries up to 2 times with configurable delays before alerting your team.
Proactive card management
Card expiry alerts notify donors before their card expires, prompting them to update payment methods through the self-service portal.
How this feeds Aida's work queue
Every recurring donations signal becomes an owned, reviewed action on your team's queue
In HelpYouServe, the context this captures lives on one record and rolls up into Aida's daily queue. Aida, your AI Development Director, turns it into an owned next action with a deadline, prepares the next step in your voice with citations, and your team reviews and approves before anything goes out. Aida adds development capacity, she does not replace your team.
HelpYouServe is the platform underneath: donor records, giving pages, sponsorships, communications, reporting, tasks, approvals, and audit history on one system.
