Insights
Blackbaud's new payment solution expands ecosystem through third-party integrations, potentially increasing transaction volume and strengthening market position.
Blackbaud's launch of Blackbaud Integrated Payments represents a strategic expansion of their payment processing capabilities in the social impact sector. This solution builds upon their previous Blackbaud Merchant Services offering by extending payment infrastructure to third-party software providers through their Payments API, creating a true "Payments-as-a-Service" ecosystem.
The most significant aspect of this announcement is the ecosystem expansion. By opening their payment infrastructure to partners like GivBee, Almabase, Odin, and Pledge, Blackbaud creates a more interconnected technology environment while maintaining control of the payment layer. This allows social impact organizations to use specialized solutions for activities like auctions, text-to-give, and event ticketing while keeping payment processing centralized.
The integration with YourCause addresses a key friction point in corporate giving programs. The new Expedited Giving feature claims to accelerate donation distribution to nonprofits by up to
Blackbaud claims significant performance benefits from their solution, stating organizations have seen "as much as a
This product evolution aligns with broader fintech trends toward open banking and API-driven financial services. By enabling third-party specialization while maintaining centralized payment processing, Blackbaud strengthens their ecosystem and creates higher switching costs for customers, potentially securing more stable recurring revenue streams from transaction processing.
Social Impact Organizations Will Benefit from Enhanced Payment Features That Will Extend
Payment Processing Capability to Third-Party Software Providers and Expedite Giving from
Corporate Employees
"We are excited to unveil Blackbaud Integrated Payments as part of our ongoing efforts to simplify and enhance the donation processing experience for our customers," said Jerry Needel, chief of product innovation, Blackbaud. "We are providing social impact organizations the flexibility they need to innovate with point solutions that fit their unique needs, without having to compromise on reliability, back-office simplicity, or the donor experience, ultimately saving time and money for their missions."
Customers will benefit from Blackbaud's industry leading payments capabilities like an optimized checkout experience, automated credit card updating, superior fraud detection, recurring gift retention, simplified reconciliation, and centralized transaction reporting. In addition, customers can leverage Blackbaud Integrated Payments to process transactions through integrated third-party software solutions for activities like auctions, text-to-give, face-to-face canvassing, telemarketing, event ticketing, merchandise sales, school fees and alumni engagement, with more to come throughout 2025.
North Carolina Coastal Federation is leveraging Blackbaud Partner GivBee for text-to-give capability with Blackbaud Integrated Payments processing. Kelly Bodie, membership director at North Carolina Coastal Federation, shared, "This integration between GivBee and Blackbaud is bigger and better than any other tool I was considering. We're able to send personalized texts to donors with a payment link, and then gifts are processed through Blackbaud Integrated Payments and recorded in our Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT® CRM. I've never been able to put something so powerful into the pockets of our donors before, and at the same time, it dramatically simplifies the back-office process for us."
Other Blackbaud Partners including Almabase, Odin, SmartTHING, SwipeTrack and more are also already leveraging the Payments API to offer Blackbaud Integrated Payments. Almabase calls it a game changer. "Social impact organizations typically experience more disruption than value when implementing new software solutions. Our integration with the Blackbaud Payments API offers a different experience, providing best-in-class alumni engagement, event management, and social giving capabilities without disrupting existing back-office processes. It's truly a win-win for our customers," said Kalyan Varma, CEO and founder of Almabase.
James Citron, CEO of Pledge, also a Blackbaud Partner, added, "We're excited to partner on Blackbaud's launch of integrated payments to create shared value and accelerate innovation across the social good sector. Through this integration, we'll bring PledgeAI, text-to-donate, and event fundraising tools like the Zoom donate button into Blackbaud's trusted ecosystem—giving nonprofits access to the latest fundraising technology to open new avenues for growth, reach more donors, and amplify their impact."
Through the YourCause from Blackbaud integration coming later this year, Blackbaud Integrated Payments will offer a new Expedited Giving feature to accelerate donation distribution from companies that rely on YourCause for their corporate giving programs, speeding up the flow of funds from their employees directly to nonprofits.
