Mark a Merchant Account as the Default for Authorization and Card Present Transactions

If your organization uses multiple merchant accounts through the Blackbaud Payment Service, you must mark one as the default to use to authorize and process payments by credit card.

Warning: If you do not mark a merchant account as the default, users cannot save payments when they select to authorize payments by credit card with the Blackbaud Payment Service. You can select a different merchant account to use during the credit card processing process if desired. For more information, refer to Add a credit card processing process.

You can also set a merchant account as the default for Card Present transactions. With a Card Present transaction, you swipe the credit card, such as at a ticket booth or gift shop.
