Here are the latest changes in
Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® for July 11th, 2023.
Enable groups to register for events (for those in the US)
From Events in the web view, you can now collect multiple names for tickets so groups of people can register together, such as for golf tournaments or galas. To configure tickets, add fees to your event, enter the number of registrations each includes, and then add the fees to your registration forms.
If necessary, you can also add other types of fees for add-ons, such as t-shirts or parking passes. Add-on fees appear separately from registration fees on forms and no longer require registrants to repeat their contact information when they select them.
As you configure registration forms, you can now associate participation levels with registration fees to automatically apply the levels to people when they register. Participation levels are event fields your organization configures to show how participants are involved in events, such as attendees, sponsors, staff, or vendors.
Note: You can also associate participation levels with organizations if you enable organization registrations.
For more information, see Configure Events for Groups.
Process USD direct debits for recurring transactions through donor and Complete Cover™-enabled donation forms (for those in the US)
Blackbaud Checkout now accepts direct debits for recurring USD transactions made through donation forms configured for donors or Blackbaud to pay processing fees.
Tip: Enable direct debit on your form to start accepting ACH transactions with fee coverage. For more information about accepted payment methods, see Fee Coverage.
Update to donor cover funds
In response to customer feedback, we updated donation and registration forms to no longer require split gifts when you allow donors to cover transaction fees. Previously, when you used donor cover, you selected a fund for fees. Raiser's Edge NXT now, by default, uses the gift fund for fees.
Note: If you previously selected a fund and prefer to stop splitting gifts, clear the fund from Control panel, Settings, Gift management, Donor cover designation. Otherwise, Raiser's Edge NXT will continue to use the selected fund for fee coverage amounts.
Tip: For information on how the fees are calculated, see this Knowledgebase article.
