For any revenues not received via a Keela Revenue Form, you can use the Fundraising feature in Keela to log a recurring revenue, process payments, and issue receipts.
A few examples of recurring revenues that you may want to log in Keela:
- You are moving from another platform and would like to log the recurring revenue in Keela going forward
- A contact calls with their credit card details and you need to process the payment and log the recurring revenue on their behalf
Need to log a single revenue? Not to worry, check out Log a Revenue Payment!
How to Log a Recurring Revenue
You can start a recurring revenue log via the Contact Profile or Fundraising menu:

Select the Contact from your Contact Screen > Select the Fundraising Tab and Scheduled Recurring.
If you've logged recurring revenues for this contact previously, you'll see a list of all transactions for that contact. Click Create New and Recurring Revenue at the top right of the summary.
If no recurring revenues were logged previously, the Add Recurring Revenue button will be in the middle of the screen as below:
