What's New In Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® — June 11th

Accept PayPal and Venmo payments through Optimized Donation Forms (for those in the US)
Building on recent digital wallet enhancements, Optimized Donation Forms now support PayPal and Venmo for one-time gifts. Previously, these payment methods were only available on Standard Donation Forms.

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

Tip: If your accounts are already connected, PayPal and Venmo display automatically to payers during checkout.

Support for Online Giving default constituent codes in Online data review
When you create a new constituent from Gift Management, Online data review, we now support the default constituent code you set in Online Giving.

To set a default constituent code in Online Giving, navigate to Settings. Under Raiser’s Edge NXT connection, select Field mappings. For more information, see Raiser's Edge NXT Connection Field Mapping.

Verify domains for Apple Pay from the Blackbaud Merchant Services Web Portal (for those in the US)
To display Apple Pay on a website, Apple requires verification of the site's domain. To make it easier to set up Apple Pay for Optimized Donation Forms in Online Giving, you can now verify your domain through the Blackbaud Merchant Services Web Portal. Previously, you needed to contact Blackbaud Support.

From the web portal, select Control panel, Settings, expand Payment domains and select Add domain. For more information, see Payment Domains in Blackbaud Merchant Services Help.

Note: Domain verification is only necessary for forms that are embedded or launched from links or buttons on your organization's website. Forms launched from Blackbaud-hosted URLs are already verified.
