Online Giving - Can you make memberships recurring?

Paul Stankus

Hi, I attended the webinar about making the switch to Online Giving from Online Express and I was curious if there was a way to set up our membership portal on Online Giving. We are particularly interested in our constituents having the ability to set up recurring memberships (ie that automatically renew every year). Is this functionality available? Thanks!

@Paul Stankus there is not currently a way set up membership transactions via Online Giving, but my understanding is that a pretty significant redesign of membership is coming. It was mentioned in the opening keynote at the Blackbaud Conference at the end of September.

I highly recommend registering for, and participating live if possible, the Product Update Briefing (PUB) which is coming up in early November. This is a must watch for everyone using a Blackbaud product where future plans and rough timelines are communicated.

@Paul Stankus I think the membership piece is one of the few remaining things that hasn't been released in the NXT forms (that and pledges).

@Christine Robertson @Karen Diener Thanks for the responses!

@Paul Stankus I believe it will be coming in the next year (per comments that I've heard), but I don't know that for certain.
