Hint The following are some best practices when renewing gift orders with payments: 1.When creating the renewal job, the 'Payment Type' must be set to either Payment or Both. 2.The source order(s) for the renewal must have a 'Renewable Payment Method' set on the Customer Services - Order|Summary page. 3.If the destination gift set in the 'Gift To' field on the Utilities - Renewals|Gifts page has a fixed amount configured, the renewal order will set the renewal gift amount to the fixed amount. If the destination gift does not have a fixed amount configured, the renewal order will set the renewal gift amount to match the gift amount on the source order. |
