Optionally, you can set a maximum number of gifts per batch.

To connect gifts to Blackbaud CRM, in Cards and wallets, you must select the credit card types from Blackbaud CRM that map to card types in Online Giving.

Optionally, you can choose whether to track a payment's wallet type as a revenue reference in Blackbaud CRM, under Digital wallet tracking.

Note: Digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay appear as credit card payments in Blackbaud CRM.

Comments from donors appear as revenue notes on payments in Blackbaud CRM. You must choose a note type for these comments.

Changes to recurring gift statuses are tracked as revenue reason codes in Blackbaud CRM. You must choose which reason codes map to the recurring gift statuses in Online Giving.
