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) for payments made through your online forms.

Donation Forms

Apple Pay is available on most major browsers. On Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, payers can use Apple Pay by scanning a code with their iPhone or iPad.

For a website to accept Apple Pay, its domain must be verified with Apple. To learn how to verify Apple Pay for donation forms, see Apple Pay Setup for Donation Forms.

Tip: Forms that launch from their Blackbaud-hosted URL are already verified and display Apple Pay automatically.

With Google Pay, supporters can make payments using a credit or debit card saved to their Google account. It automatically appears for payers during checkout in most major web browsers.

Note: Firefox doesn't support Google Pay.

and Venmo

To accept PayPal and Venmo through your donation forms, connect your PayPal Business and Blackbaud Merchant Services accounts in the Blackbaud Merchant Services Portal. For more information, see Get Started with PayPal.

Note: To integrate with PayPal, you must have an active Blackbaud Merchant Services account that processes in USD, AUD, CAD, EUR, or GBP.

Tip: To view and reconcile PayPaland Venmo transactions, and to view disbursements from PayPal, log into your PayPal business account.
