Configuring Fundraising Products for the Mobile Store

This process is similar to configuring a product to display on your e-Business site. For products on the mobile application, you need to create a Mobile Control (similar to an e-Business control) via the Product Central screen. Once you create a mobile control for a product, your users can view the product and its details through the Store module. Products only display in the Store module during the available dates entered for the mobile control.

 

If your customers already have a credit card record on file in your Personify database, they can purchase the product from the mobile application. If not, they can add the desired product to their Mobile Shopping Cart for purchase the next time they sign into your organization’s e-Business site.

To configure a fundraising product for purchase on Personify Mobile:

1.    From the Personify main toolbar, select Products > Product Central.
The Product Maintenance search screen displays, as shown below.

5.    Ensure the product has a Product Status of “Active”.

The Rates and Pricing screen displays, as shown below.
