# What Is Port?

> Overview of Port and the import workflows it supports

Port is a web app for moving church data into Planning Center with guided, import-specific workflows.

## What Port Handles

* Giving imports from supported providers (and Open Import)
* Group membership imports via template
* Notes imports via template
* Pledges imports via template
* People Splitter for breaking large people CSV files into household-based files

## Core Workflow Pattern

Most imports follow this pattern:

1. Choose an import type/provider.
2. Configure import settings when applicable.
3. Upload your file (`.csv`, `.xls`, or `.xlsx`, max 50 MB).
4. Let Port process rows.
5. Resolve unresolved rows on the review screen.
6. Complete the import.

## Giving-Specific Features

Giving imports include additional steps:

* Setup options for person matching
* Payment source and batch selection
* Fund mapping (including Magic Map and saved mappings)
* Refund handling (auto where possible, manual CSV fallback where not)

## Provider Coverage

Giving supports multiple providers. See [Provider Index](../giving-import/providers/index) for current capabilities and required columns.

## Authentication and Connections

* You sign in to Port first.
* You then connect Planning Center using OAuth during onboarding or in Settings.
