With the Donation Form - Mini (Beta) part, you can now accept payments through Apple Pay when you use Blackbaud Merchant Services (BBMS) to process one-time credit card donations. This new payment option allows your constituents on Apple devices to make donations without having to enter as much information on the donation form, because data such as their credit card number and billing address are already stored in their Apple Pay wallet.
Apple Pay is currently only available as a limited capacity Early Adopter Program (EAP) for BBMS customers in the U.S. If you are interested in joining the EAP, follow the instructions below. Participation is limited to a first-come, first-served basis.
| • | Complete the request for information form on Blackbaud's website. A Blackbaud representative will contact you to confirm we have completed enablement of Apple Pay for use with your Blackbaud Merchant Services account. |
If you do not yet have a Blackbaud Merchant Services account, a representative can assist in setting up an account for you.
Note: Please be aware that the onboarding process for setting up Apple Pay may take several weeks. In the meantime, your organization doesn't have to wait to start using the Donation Form - Mini (Beta). You can still configure the form and use it for taking donations using credit cards, Visa Checkout, and Masterpass.
Once the onboarding process is completed, Apple Pay will automatically display as an additional payment option on the checkout screen for donors who are using an Apple Pay-enabled environment. All transactions are processed via BBMS.
Note: Ensure you select your BBMS merchant account in the Merchant account field on the Donation Form - Mini (Beta) part.
Note: Refer to Apple's Terms and Conditions in the Blackbaud Checkout FAQs.
