Creating households of patrons in your customer database - Tue - Jan 24, 2023 - 11:09am
Connect patrons in your Patron Database to a household to tie donations together! When one member of the household makes a donation the other members of the household will receive a soft credit for the donation on their record, allowing venue staff to recognize all members of a household when appropriate!
To create a household, go to Patron Database → Groups, Orgs, & Households → Create Group or Organization, enter a name like “The Smith Family,” and choose Household as the type. Then open Members and add each person in the household.
