PayPal Now Available For Blackbaud Raisers Edge NXT - To All US Customers

We're thrilled to announce that PayPal as a digital payment method is now available to all customers using Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT registration forms and donation forms in the United States. As we continue to take steps to roll out this popular payment method, we're next focusing on international availability of PayPal for Blackbaud Online Express customers in the UK and Europe, Canada, and in the Asia - Pacific region -- as well as adding Venmo transaction capabilities in the US.


Enabling PayPal with Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT for donation and registration forms gives you the opportunity to:

• Offer one of the most trusted payment methods globally[1] and expand your impact by connecting with over 400 million active accounts around the world[2]
• Help create a more satisfying giving experience for donors who prefer PayPal.
• Seamlessly activate PayPal for your Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT donation and registration forms, creating smooth and secure checkout experience for your donors
• Streamline operations with gift reporting and receipting in Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT

How do I get started?

Activating PayPal is easy. To get started, you’ll need:

1. Blackbaud Merchant Services account (active)
2. PayPal Business account
3. Blackbaud Checkout-enabled donation form

Follow these steps if you already use Blackbaud Merchant Services and have a PayPal Business account. You can be up and running within minutes!

• Set up PayPal with Blackbaud Checkout (Knowledgebase)
• Integrate PayPal and Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT (20 min OnDemand webinar)
• Note that if you enabled PayPal as a payment method for Blackbaud Online Express, you don’t need to complete the PayPal integration a second time. PayPal automatically appears as a payment option on your Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT forms.

If you need to set up a new payment processing account, here's how to do this:

• Blackbaud Merchant Services (BBMS) see: How to set up or register for a Blackbaud Merchant Services (BBMS) account
• PayPal Business account: To get started, follow the instructions for setting up the integration. A "new account creation" workflow will launch if you do not already have an account.
