*New* OnlineGiving.org MinistryPlatform Address Standardization for Address Insertion and Updating from OnlineGiving.org into MP
We're pleased to announce an update is now live that enhances the address handling for the OnlineGiving.org MinistryPlatform integration. Moving forward, OnlineGiving.org will standardize all mailing addresses before inserting them into MinistryPlatform or before updating an address in MinistryPlatform. Address standardization is the process of formatting an address so that it matches the proper address format of the national postal authority. The USPS determines the official format for addresses in the United States. The update's goal is to allow any address information pushed into MinistryPlatfrom by OnlineGiving.org to be of the highest quality possible. OnlineGiving.org has partnered with https://www.smartystreets.com/ as a paid vendor to provide the address standardization service free of charge to all MinistryPlatform churches.
Examples of Address Standardization:
Before: post office box 121, Abbeeville, Albamba
After: PO Box 121, Abbeville AL 36310-0121
