Digital Wallets

A digital wallet is a service that saves a person's payment info so they can access saved credit and debit cards on trusted devices. When you use Blackbaud Merchant Services as your payment processor, you can accept digital wallets (such as Apple Pay and PayPal) through Blackbaud Checkout for one-time payments made through your online forms.

Note: Registration forms only support US dollars.

Apple Pay is a digital wallet payment method that’s available on Apple devices. Users with saved credit and debit cards in their wallets can pay with Apple Pay for one-time payments made through your online forms.

Tip: Blackbaud Checkout displays Apple Pay 24 to 48 hours after a form processes its first payment. To ensure the wallet is available when you publish your form, we recommend you complete a payment during testing.

Donation forms

Apple Pay is available for both standalone and embedded donation forms.

  • Standalone forms — Apple Pay automatically displays in Blackbaud Checkout for donors who visit your form using a compatible device.

  • Embedded forms — To display Apple Pay in Blackbaud Checkout, you must complete a verification process. For more information, visit Knowledgebase.

    Note: To display Apple Pay on donation forms already embedded on a web page, copy the form's HTML and embed the code again.

Registration forms

Apple Pay is only available for standalone registration forms. It automatically displays in Blackbaud Checkout for supporters who visit your standalone form using a compatible device.

To access the URL for the standalone version of a registration form, open the event's record. Under Online registration forms, select Share URL from the form’s menu.

To display PayPal, Venmo, and PayPal Credit in your online forms, you must connect your PayPal Business and Blackbaud Merchant Services accounts through the Blackbaud Merchant Services Web Portal. For more information, see Get Started with PayPal.
