CVV number

@Jessica Thomas - Yes, CVV is a requirement for credit card. You have the ability to offer other payment options though through Blackbaud Checkout, like digital wallets, paypal and venmo.

@Jessica Thomas - They are free, but may involve additional work on your part to enable them. Here's instructions for the PayPal/Venmo integration and how to get ApplePay to work:

@Jessica Thomas
(Un?)fortunately, you won't be able to process the payment with a card in BBMS, or thus OLX, without the CVV number. However, possibly your organization has other options. I know for example that even though we process credit cards through OLX, our Business Office also has a card reader from our bank, which requires a zip code rather than the CVV. They use this frequently for processing on-campus student payments, employee purchases, etc.

The ideal situation will be to call your donors and obtain the CVV codes from them. (Think of it as an opportunity for building donor relations through outreach … glass is half full!) But since some donors don't have phone numbers, you might need to get creative with the remainder.

@Jessica Thomas

JoAnn suggestion is for charging the donor credit card. RE database view does have a EFT process for charging and recording the transaction. But it is a manual offline process.

If you are looking for an online process that is donor driven, most if not all platform will require cvv. Unless, you create your own using merchant account API (some allows for no cvv in the API )

@Jessica Thomas Yes, credit card transactions can be created, processed and would be recorded in RE using db view if you have the EFT module and are using BBMS.

If these are monthly transactions you can create a batch to use each month or a query. While you have to manually enter the card info at least once if you use Bio2, it's just a matter of running a batch using generate transactions and create EFT transmission file.
