in Merchant Services APIs

Hi there,

We currently have an integration with the Payments API and were wondering if this API supports recurring payments?

Our current understanding is that while BBMS supports recurring payments, that is not yet available with the Payments API. Is that the case?

    It supports them. After using BlackBaud Checkout - process the payment using

    Then using the Gift API you can input the recurring schedule for that gift - linked to the payment you processed:

    Thanks for the info Nathan! The help is much appreciated.

    Do you know if this is doable with the CreateTransaction endpoint as well? We aren't currently setup with Blackbaud Checkout at the moment so I wonder if we will need to integrate with that in order to get this functionality in place.

    Yes, it's basically the same thing - BlackBaud Checkout just makes it a little easier because you don't have to deal with credit card numbers on your own server. But if you use CreateTransaction via the Payments API you'll still get the payment id returned to you which you can then use in the Gift API (at least that's what I think will happen).

    Great, I will need to play around with our current setup and the Gifts API then.

    Thanks again!
