Two-step sign-in for Givana staff

Givana staff can no longer use admin tools without two-step sign-in, whichever way they signed in. It's one more protection for your community's data.

September 2026

Improved

Notifications, dates and your community profile

  • Notifications: the bell keeps notifications you've read, and See all opens the full list.
  • Dates: a new date picker replaces the browser's own everywhere.
  • Community profile: branding (logo and accent colour) now lives in your community profile, in one place.
  • Names: givers' names show capitalised, however they typed them.
  • Payout readiness: Stripe's outstanding requirements are counted, so you can see how close you are.
Improved

Know where every gift's money is

Every gift now shows where its money is: succeeded (the payment went through), available (in your Stripe balance), scheduled (on its way to your bank) and paid out. Reconciliation opens on the last 7 days with quick presets for other ranges.

Fees are now recorded per gift at exactly what Stripe charged, so the numbers match your Stripe statement to the penny.

Improved

You decide who pays the fees

Each community now chooses who pays the fees in Settings → Giving page: your community, or your givers. Givers no longer see a "cover the fees" tick box. If you choose givers, their receipt shows the gift, the fees and the total, so it's always clear what went to you.

Also new: every drop-down in the dashboard is now searchable, and the Givana app tells you when an update is ready and offers to install it.

Improved

Your amounts, wording and thank-you message everywhere

Your suggested amounts, thank-you message, currency and wording (which follows your community type: church, mosque, temple, synagogue or organisation) now reach your giving page, the Givana app and the kiosk. Change them once in Settings and every surface follows.
