Book-keeping income accounts now have an additional option, membership donations. This helps attribute membership payments to the correct book-keeping account, when reconciled manually and which include a donation.
If you do this, you may want to make an adjustment to the income type of one of them. However, even if you don’t, Cameo will now ask you rather than potentially choosing the wrong account. Read More…

Cameo supports unique voucher codes which customers can use as a payment method in any form which takes payments. For example, for
* gift memberships,
* concert bookings, or
* merchandise.
They work like mobile phone top-up cards.
For example, this means someone can purchase a voucher and give it to someone else as a gift membership, without the data protection problems of the original purchaser needing to provide a third party’s details. Or they can gift a ticket voucher without needing to decide which particular concert for the recipient. Read More…

You can then offer a box in forms which take payment, for members or customers to obtain that discount. The discount codes section also summarises which codes have been used, when and who by.
Initially, you can use these codes with the join form. We’ll extend this to other forms such as shopping (merchandise) and booking (for events) in future. Read More…
Reconciliation now offers an interim transaction for matching even if the bank transaction does not contain its identifier, providing other aspects do correspond. Read More…
