What will I receive when I make a donation?

When you make a donation via Enthuse, you'll receive an email receipt. This will confirm the key details for you.

Here's what the email we'll send you will look like:


What will I receive when I set up a recurring Direct Debit?

Here's a rundown of the emails that we send:


Recurring payment confirmation

This email is sent immediately after your schedule (recurring donation) is created.
It'll look something like this:

This email confirms that you've set up a schedule - you'll get a separate email receipt for the first payment.

Receipt

This email is sent immediately after payment is taken.

If a schedule is being paid by card, the first payment will usually be taken on the day that the schedule is created, but Direct Debits are always scheduled in the future, so the payment notification will be sent when the payment has been taken. (usually 7-10 working days)

Recurring Donation Receipts

If you have an account with Enthuse, you can turn these emails on and off by logging in and navigating to Settings > Notifications.

By default, you will receive a receipt for every payment, however some charities have recurring donation receipts turned off, so don't be surprised if you aren't receiving these.
