The Setup step saves options on the current giving batch.

Person Matching Options

Create a Missing Person

When enabled, Port creates a new Planning Center person if matching fails.

Use Remote ID

Visible only for providers that define a remote/person ID column.
When enabled, Port attempts remote ID matching before phone/email/name matching.

Strict Matching

Controls how phone/email/name matching behaves:
  • On: phone/email matches must also satisfy strict first/last-name checks.
  • Off: allows broader matching behavior, including a final name-only attempt.

Payment Source

You must select an existing payment source or create one.
  • Payment source helps identify import origin in Planning Center.
  • You can create a source name and choose its source type in Setup.

Source Type Impact

For non-donor source types, Port forces imported donations to tax-deductible mode at batch processing time to fit Planning Center import constraints.

Batch

You must select or create a Planning Center batch.
  • Committed batches are filtered out from the selectable list.
  • New batches can be created directly in Setup.
