Describe the question Using the Giving API, can you POST a donation and associate it to a person using their Donor Number as opposed to their person ID? I would assume not since it is not in the docs.

Thanks!

Hi @philfbcnz,

You are correct, the only way to associate a new donation with a person is by using their ID. A person's donor_number can be obtained via Giving's people endpoint, but it is currently not possible to use one to associate a donation with a person.

I hope this is helpful! I'm going to close this issue for now, but let me know if you still have any questions.

Thanks!
