If you use Bonterra Payments as a payment processor, your donors may also have the option to use Google Pay or Apple Pay when completing a transaction on 'Fundraising Pages'.

Note: At this time, these additional payment options are not available for recurring donations or use with our 'Auctions' platform.

At checkout, donors can pay with a credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

If a donor opts to use Google Pay or Apple Pay, they will be directed to log into their Google account or Apple ID in a pop-up window and proceed with the rest of the transaction process.

Google Pay will be available to all customers using Bonterra Payments; however, Apple Pay requires all nonprofit organizations to obtain a Candid "Seal of Transparency" to be available for use; once a Bronze seal (or greater) has been obtained, Apple Pay should be available for donors the next day.

We will also periodically check the status of our nonprofit customers on an ongoing basis to ensure those who qualify have access to these payment options.

We strongly recommend organizations confirm they have the Seal of Transparency listed on their Guidestar profile to give their donors even more ways to donate.

For more information on how to obtain the Seal of Transparency, please check out this helpful guide.
