This looks fantastic! ?
Is there any timeframes on releasing this in Australia, so with AUD?
Hi @Lynda Nielsen!
Tap to Pay on iPhone accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover contactless cards, and NFC-based mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay). As Venmo wallet payments are QR code based, it is not an accepted payment method with Blackbaud's MobilePay Terminal application.
Does it include receiving payments from Venmo?
Hi @Nikki Hamby!
The fee amount will not be added to the screen but rather is included with the other Blackbaud payment processing fees. So, your organization will still receive the net amount after fees like other MobilePay Terminal transactions.
The additional fee specific to Tap to Pay will be visible in the Blackbaud Merchant Services Web Portal as an Application Fee on the transaction record.
Nice! Will it add the fee on the screen after you type in the payment amount? Like if we type in $300 (what the parent actually owe's), it will change it to $309.42? Or does the $300 include the charge so we are getting less?
This looks amazing!
