Online Giving

Note: ATTENTION: Starting March 18, Blackbaud will begin auditing all donation forms for PCI compliance. Forms not updated to use either the embedded or modal checkout element will be automatically updated with the checkout modal, which could potentially cause layout changes and impact processing. API forms cannot automatically update, so you must take action to manually update API forms ahead of breaking changes. See Auto Migration FAQs.

Warning: All credit and debit card transactions must use the new checkout by March 2025 to meet Payment Card Industry standards. Configure your active, new, and recurring card payment forms with checkout to meet PCI standards before March 2025.

Training: Register for a live workshop webinar to walk through the changes occurring for checkout. eLearnings are also available at Level Up with Luminate Online.

Create and manage donation campaigns and forms. Each Online Giving donation form belongs to a campaign. A donation campaign contains forms, permissions, payment processing, and internal communication settings. This structure allows you to:

  • Monitor and manage a group of donations from a single source.

  • Compare results between campaigns.

  • Compare results for different forms within a single campaign.

  • Copy and modify existing campaigns to maintain consistency and avoid redundant work.

Access your campaigns and forms from the lists on the Online Giving page. Select Fundraising and Donation Management.
