Add the following information:

NOTE: If a donor has donated more than 1 item, you will need to add the donor for each item they have donated. You are unable to link 1 donor profile to more than 1 item without creating a new donor profile.

3) Through the Item Template 

Items > Manage Items > Import Items Template > Download Template 

You can only add 1 donor per item via template. If you wish to add more than one donor to an item, please add the 2nd+ donor information manually in the admin under the item or manage donors.

NOTES:

*This method only works if you are adding your items and donors at the same time. 

*If your items are already uploaded, please use option #1. 

*Item Name is required for upload.
