Payment Gateways

With various capabilities, users of your online solution and members of your communities can make credit card payments on event registration forms, on giving forms, or when placing an order in the store. Families can pay by credit card when they submit an application form or when they submit a deposit with an enrollment contract. 

You must create at least one account with the payment gateway of your choice; you can create multiple accounts if you want event registration forms, giving forms and/or application forms to use their own unique accounts. A manager must enter that account information when configuring payment processing for credit cards. Do this from Core, Settings, and then select Payment settings and refer to payment processing for additional instructions.

The following payment gateways can be used with the application:

  • Blackbaud Merchant Services (BBMS) is a payment gateway that caters exclusively to non-profits. It supports credit cards, EFT, and recurring gifts. 

  • Authorize.Net is a payment gateway that supports credit cards, EFT, and recurring gifts. You must use their Automated Recurring Billing (ARB) product to enable recurring gifts.

    Warning: As of May 31, 2024, Blackbaud will no longer support payment processing through Authorize.net

  • IATS is a payment gateway and merchant account that supports credit cards and EFT. IATS supports recurring monthly gifts but does not currently support annual recurring gifts.

  • Diamond Mind is a payment gateway that supports credit cards, EFT, and recurring monthly and annual gifts. To accept recurring gifts, the Diamond Mind account must have Recurring/Installment Billing permission.
