New Donation Payment Method: Visa Checkout!

Kathryn Hall

With Visa Checkout, you can offer your donors a safe, simple, and quick way to give a one-time donation using Blackbaud Secure Payments!

How does it work? Your donors can support your mission without the need to fill out forms by choosing Visa Checkout, a digital wallet payment option. Visa Checkout speeds donations from all card types (not just Visa) on all devices, including mobile, tablet, and desktop! 


Easy payments are streamlined through Blackbaud Merchant Services (BBMS) and the Secure Payments checkout experience.


How do I add Visa Checkout as a payment option? If you already use Blackbaud Merchant Services (BBMS), update your Luminate Online one-time donation form to use Secure Payments' checkout following these simple steps. To add BBMS as a new service, email bbms@blackbaud.com.

Can I offer both Visa Checkout and Apple Pay? Yes! Secure Payments checkout supports both Apple Pay and Visa Checkout as digital wallet options. With Visa Checkout, you have another simplified payment method to attract more donors and build stronger relationships. For more information, see Checkout with Blackbaud Secure Payments.

I just saw this on the more info page: Note: Secure Checkout does not currently support sustaining (recurring) donations. You can, however, include a link on your PageBuilder page to direct donors to your traditional form that includes the monthly giving option.


When will sustaining giving be available with BB Secure Payments?? We all know the incredible value of a sustaining donor, and we also know that making a donor go to yet another page to give is a big no-no. This needs to be fixed!!!

I'd like to see donation forms from organizations that offer a multitude of payment choices. Right now, we just offer PayPal and Credit card. Given that more and more donor are giving using their phones, I'm concerned about how I can show all their payment choices.
