This section may get a bit advanced. Not that you can't handle advanced; we just want to give you a heads up that we're going to be talking about detailed settings and their uses. It isn't rocket science, but it might be a little challenging.

Transaction Entry Block
The Utility Payment Entry block is the eventual replacement for the Transaction Entry block. The documentation for the Transaction Entry block can still be found here if needed during this transition period.  

The Utility Payment Entry block is one of the most useful and versatile blocks available in Rock. You can set it up on any page of your site and use it for any number of purposes: online giving, on-site giving, scheduled transactions, fundraising, text giving...and so on. It's the Swiss Army Knife of transaction entry features.

The reason this block can be used in so many ways is because of its settings. There are two configuration tabs in the Utility Payment Entry block: Basic Settings and Advanced Settings. Let's take a look at the options available on both.

Configure Block Settings

The Basic Settings tab is where you'll likely do most configuring.

Advanced Settings Tab

The Utility Payment Entry block has additional settings under Advanced Settings.

The Utility Payment Entry block allows people to enter payment information for selected accounts. The account selection behavior for the block is primarily controlled by four block settings:

Note that the Use Account Campus Mapping Logic setting is not compatible with the Enable Account Hierarchy for Additional Accounts setting, since Use Account Campus Mapping Logic automatically picks the best fit account based on the associated campus and Enable Account Hierarchy for Additional Accounts allows you to pick a specific account from a hierarchy of accounts. Use one or the other, but not both.
