How do I enter a series of receipt numbers?

  1. Click CAD Tax Receipts in the left navigation. 
  2. Click Receipt Numbers.
  3. Enter your receipt numbers by typing in the lowest number in your series in the Lower Range field and the highest number in your series in the Upper Range field.
    • eTax Receipt Numbers can be up to 16 digits long.
    • Your receipt numbers must be formatted without any letters, dashes, etc.
    • The system will not accept numbers that begin with "0". Any leading zeros will be deleted automatically.
    • Some clients prefer to use a very high range of numbers for their GiftTool receipts (such as the 10 million block) to distinguish from their manual receipt numbers and preventing any unintended overlapping.
  4. Click Add Range.

 

You can enter as many ranges of numbers for the eTax receipts as you need. Please ensure that none of the ranges overlap. GiftTool will always use the lowest number available when issuing a receipt.

 

To change an existing range of numbers: 

  1. Edit the Lower Range and/or Upper Range number.
  2. Click Save.

 

Once you have completed this step, your account is ready to automatically send out eTax receipts when an online donation is made. One-time donors will receive an eTax receipt immediately after they make an online donation in a separate email. Recurring monthly or quarterly donors will receive an annual eTax receipt for all donations made throughout the year just in time for tax season.
