Recurring token migration

Recurring donors are one of the most valuable cohorts that an organization can build. When an organization starts working with Engaging Networks, ensuring your recurring donors move into the platform smoothly is a top priority.

Engaging Networks clients follow the process below in order to migrate recurring donors. Engaging Networks provides guidance on migrating donors from every payment provider.

Migration Process Overview

Identify recurring donors from your database of record and extract the donation details for their transactions from your existing payment gateway
Request that your existing payment gateway send the tokenized transaction data to your new payment gateway
Your new payment gateway will provide updated tokenized transaction data
You provide that tokenized transaction data to Engaging Networks in a set format
Engaging Networks imports them to begin processing in Engaging Networks

If you are not changing your payment gateway as part of your migration to Engaging Networks, you can skip the steps related to retokenizing the data with a new payment gateway.

This migration is typically done as part of onboarding and is facilitated by the Engaging Networks Account Success Manager leading the project as well as the Client Support Specialist serving as the technical lead.
