Match Envelopes to Offering Name

Note: The Offering Name, also could be known as a Purpose Name or Fund Name, is the assigned Shelby Next name for the fund that can be found on your existing Shelby Next Fund list. (I.E. If you have a Givelify envelope for “Tithe” and one for “Offering”, you may find in your Shelby Next Funds that you only have one for “Tithes and Offerings”, therefore your Fund Name would be “Tithes and Offerings” for each Givelify Envelope.)

1. Select the blue numeric link to review any Unmatched Envelopes.
2. Match your Givelify Envelopes with the corresponding Offering Name from Shelby Next.
3. Once all information is correctly matched, select Done.

Note: To edit any previously matched Offering Names, please select the tab to Match Envelopes and find the dropdown for Matched and Unmatched options, select the Matched option and locate the item that you wish to edit, then select the blue link with the previously entered details and re-enter the updated number.

Match Donors to Envelope Numbers

Note: An Envelope Number is any automatically or manually assigned Shelby Arena number specific to Member giving used to identify donors in your system.

1. If any donors have not been set up with their coordinating Shelby Envelope Numbers, you will see them listed under the Unmatched Donors column to update or the Match Donors tab.
2. Select the blue numeric link to make edits.
3. Match your Givelify Envelopes with the corresponding Envelope Number from Shelby.
4. Once all information is correctly matched, select Done. 

Note: To edit any previously matched Envelope Numbers, please select the tab to Match Donors and find the dropdown for Matched and Unmatched options, select the Matched option and locate the item that you wish to edit, then select the blue link with the previously entered details and re-enter the updated number.
