Support for PayPal and Venmo as Payment Methods will be available in Blackbaud CRM with the release of Service Pack 35 and for the following Revenue and Application types:

Donation, Pledge Payment, Recurring Gift Payment, Event registrations, Membership Dues, Grant Award, Matching Gift Claim, Auction Purchase, Donor Challenge Claim and Other

PayPal and Venmo are not available as Payment Method types for Treasury Office Deposits or Miscellaneous Payments.

These Payment Methods are available in one-off Payment Forms, Enhanced Revenue, Membership Dues and Revenue update batch types.

General Ledger mappings have been updated to permit posting for revenue of the above types using PayPal and Venmo as Payment Methods.

Note: PayPal/Venmo transactional processing will be undertaken via the Vendor portals and not within Blackbaud CRM.

The Blackbaud CRM product management team is actively evaluating approaches for supporting Paypal/Venmo payment methods. This evaluation period will extend through the end of July.

We understand the significant value and importance of this capability to your constituents. When we complete our evaluation, we will provide further updates around timing and when you can expect this feature to be released. We will announce these plans by early August. If you are interested in participating in discovery with us at that time, please reach out to pat.conley@blackbaud.com or daisy.alarcon@blackbaud.com.
