Advise BPay donors not to reuse reference #s
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

BPay donors who mistakenly think they can reuse the reference # generated by the donation form for subsequent transactions will have their donations accepted by Globalcollect, but they will not reach Civi. We can refund the extra donations from the case in the first screenshot, but it would be helpful to also add a message to our BPay form as in the second screenshot. We can't tell from Civi how many donors are affected by this.

"Each Reference # is only valid once. Please do not reuse this reference number for future donations."

Thanks Michael. This isn't something I could do on my own, it would need a DonationInterface change and deployment.

Please note, BPay is not available as a recurring option. Each Reference # is only valid for one donation.

Instead of "Each Reference # is only valid for one donation", what about something like "Please do not reuse this reference number for future donations"?

I like @CCogdill_WMF's suggestion since donors may not know what
"recurring" is the same way that we do.

Thank you guys. How about merging Caitlin's and Michael's ideas into one:

"Each Reference # is only valid once. Please do not reuse this reference number for future donations"

Thanks @jrobell. I'm adding this to the task description. We won't get to this today, so if you have further tweaks please update here.
