What's New In Raiser's Edge NXT - August 16th

Published

This week, Raiser's Edge NXT announces that Venmo is available as a payment option for US customers.

Accept Venmo payments through online forms (now generally available in the US)

To help you increase conversion rates and delight supporters, Venmo is now available as a payment method for all organizations in the United States with an active Blackbaud Merchant Services — PayPal integration.

When PayPal integration is enabled, Venmo automatically displays as a payment method for one-time, US dollar transactions in Blackbaud Checkout.

Tip: For mobile devices, only certain web browsers — Safari for iOS and Chrome for Android — are approved to offer Venmo as a payment option. Any major web browser may be used on a desktop.

Venmo features include:

  • Blackbaud PayPal rate (2.8% + $0.26) for Venmo transactions.

  • Support for one-time gifts in US dollars.

  • Funds disbursement by PayPal to your organization's PayPal business account.

For more information, see PayPal Commerce Platform in the documentation for Blackbaud Merchant Services.

Note: Due to a known limitation, some supporters may not see Venmo as an option during checkout, even after you integrate your Blackbaud Merchant Services account with PayPal. This only affects a subset of Apple mobile device users who browse with Safari on iOS 15 or higher. PayPal is aware of this limitation and is working on a resolution for iOS 16. For more information, visit Knowledgebase.

Note: On gift records, in reports, and in batches, Venmo transactions show as PayPal in the Payment method field. In the future, Venmo will be a separate payment method.

Glad to hear Venmo has been added. Wasn't aware of the PayPal glitch in iOS 15 or higher, so that is helpful info.

Woohoo!!
