Frequently asked questions

The edit button is disabled. What should I do? 

When the donation is an offline donation, the Edit button may be disabled. The easiest way to make the offline donation anonymous is to delete it and add it again. Be sure to copy down the offline donation’s details before you do so. To learn more about why the button is disabled, view our guide on editing offline donations.

The button may also be disabled if you view canceled recurring donations. You cannot edit canceled recurring donations.
