OSV Integration
We are happy to partner with OSV to offer a contribution API which will streamline your process for online giving at the parish.

Forget manual entry or custom imports, we will handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters the most.

If there is a case where the envelope number was entered incorrectly we will notify you of the error by showing that the last name in Vanco and the last name in Camino does not match. This update is automatic but if you have any questions feel free to reach out to our support team.

Download Funds and Activities
