# What Is a Donor Account or DonorID?

## Learn what a Donor Account (DonorID) is, how it works, and why it can make giving faster and easier.

A **Donor Account** (also called a **DonorID**) is your personal dashboard for managing all of your giving in one place. With a Donor Account, you can view past donations, manage recurring gifts, update payment methods, download receipts, or locate contact information for the organizations you support.

Your Donor Account is a **free service** provided by Anedot that gives you a convenient way to manage your giving.

With a DonorID, you can:

- Enjoy a faster, **simplified checkout experience** with autofilled contact information and payment methods
- View your full **donation history** in one place
- Download or request copies of your donation **receipts**
- Find **contact information** for the organizations you support
- **Manage recurring gifts**, including updates and cancellations
- Securely store **payment methods** so you can give again in just a few clicks.

> *You are not required to have a DonorID to make a donation through Anedot.*
> 
> *If you prefer not to use your DonorID for a specific donation, simply click **Not you? Logout** at checkout to donate as a guest.*
