As usual both the recipient and the donor will receive a receipt in their dashboard containing all the information about the transaction. Also, don’t worry if the account you’re donating to doesn’t have a Chirpify account. We’ll pick it up anyways and auto-respond to them with a sign up link. When they sign up, your donation will process. Giving was never so easy! So, go forth and Twive, or Dona-tweet, er Fundtweet? Meh, go give, it feels good!
