When an eCheck is in Pending status, it won't show up in event thermometers; it will only show once it has cleared. When an eCheck is in pending status, it will be marked as such in your system.
If a participant receives an eCheck donation, they'll be able to see if its status is pending by checking the My Donations area in their personal fundraising center. Once the eCheck clears, the status will change to Verified and will be reflected in event thermometers.
