You can create Transactions in Funraise. Transactions can either be a record of an offline payment or you can process a payment with a supporter's payment method. When creating a new Transaction, you have two options:

An "offline" transaction is a record of a payment. This is most often used to record a check, cash, or in-kind donations. When creating an offline transaction no payment is actually processed, this is just a record of the transaction.
