Log a Revenue Payment

Onboarding Team
  • Updated

We've spent lots of time in the Help Centre talking about how you can use Keela Forms to accept online payments and automatically log them in your Keela account.

But what about those payments that aren't received online or via a credit card? Not to worry - these can be logged directly into your Keela system. You can use Keela's Fundraising tool to log a revenue payment, process a payment and even issue transaction receipts!

A few examples of revenue payments that you may want to log in Keela:

  • Purchases received via cheque or cash
  • If you have a payees credit card information and want to process a payment on their behalf
  • You received a grant through another system like your bank account and would like to record it in Keela

 Need to log a recurring revenue payment? Head on over to Log a Recurring Revenue Payment.

How to Log a Revenue Payment

There are two different places in the Keela system that you can log a new revenue payment from.

(1) From within the Contact's Profile

Navigate to the Contact's profile > Click on the Fundraising Tab> Choose Transactions.

Click Create New > Click Revenue Transaction

Note: If you haven't logged any transactions on this Contact's profile yet, click on the purple Create New button in the middle of the screen.
