Why do I see different totals in my campaign pages?

There are various components that make up what may be considered as total transaction amount.  

For example, a donor wants to donate $100 to you, they type in $100 in the amount box. Then they decide that they want to take on the credit card fees for you, so they opt-in to cover the card fees. They then decide that they will also keep a tip/fee for BetterUnite at $5.  So their total check out amount is $108.2.  When we try to show you a total in your dashboard, we would show you 103.2 as this was really the intended total payment to your organization. The $5 was above and beyond their intended amount for you and they intended this amount for BetterUnite alone.  The $103.2 ends up netting you $100.  In different places we may show you the intended donation amount, or the net amount, and in some cases event the gross payment amount (this detail will show up in the exports, where you will also see the above breakdown clearly).

On your Campaign Dashboard we display the amount raised under At a Glance which is the total amount received from your donors (actual processed payments by default) and it also shows the pending purchases amount which are the amounts in the shopping carts that have not been processed yet.
