Frequently Asked Questions
Can this handle receipts from different fundraising platforms like PayPal, GoFundMe, or Stripe?
Yes, the AI can process receipts from various platforms. However, each platform has different layouts, so you may need to customize field selections for optimal extraction accuracy.
How accurate is the extraction for donation amounts and tax information?
The system achieves 99%+ accuracy on clear, digital PDF receipts. Scanned documents may have slightly lower accuracy depending on scan quality, and we recommend spot-checking extracted amounts.
Can I process receipts with multiple donations or recurring gift summaries?
The system works best with individual donation receipts. Complex multi-donation summaries or nested tables may require manual review to ensure all amounts are captured correctly.
What happens to sensitive donor information after processing?
All uploaded files are encrypted during processing and automatically deleted after conversion. The system does not store donor information or train AI models on your nonprofit data.
