Software as a Service
eTapestry has been built specifically for the needs of charitable organizations who need a tool to help them efficiently and effectively manage their fundraising activities.
But eTapestry is probably different from software you may be used to. It doesn't require you to install, maintain and update software, or backup your data. It doesn't require new hardware, additional disk space, or specific operating systems. It doesn't require days of training, expertise in database operations or a multi-volume user guide to operate. It doesn't even require you to be at the office to use.
What eTapestry does is even more impressive. In its simplest form, eTapestry is software you run over the Internet, allowing you to access your data from anywhere. It tracks donors, prospects or alumni while managing gifts, pledges and payments. In its full form, eTapestry adds advanced executive analysis, contact management, advanced email, e-commerce, event registration, complete website development, and API functionality. Because eTapestry is web-based, all upgrades, maintenance, backups, and data security are managed and monitored for you. It's also easy to learn and use, meaning you can focus on your fundraising, and not your fundraising software. Best of all, it will save you money - year after year - compared to traditional software.

eTapestry API
The eTapestry API is an interface to push data to, or pull data from, an eTapestry database. When a traditional eTapestry eCommerce giving or registration page doesn't fit your needs, the API can provide your organization with additional functionality. The interface may also be used as an automated data entry interface, in which data is sent one record at a time through the interface of another database or application into eTapestry.
