What to do next
Check your setup first
Run the readiness checks to confirm your credentials, permissions and test merchant account are all in place.
Why: Blackbaud needs several permissions that are easy to miss. This names exactly which one is missing, rather than leaving you to guess from a failed test.
Still to do: Connect your account → Confirm the connection → Take a test payment → Pass security checks → Go live

Your code
Upload your project and the security checks will review your real code instead of a sample. Your files are read, never run.
No code linked yet. The security checks will review a generated sample instead, which only proves the sample is sound — not your project.
Hosting model — You host the page
You host the donation page and integrate the full checkout flow.
- Build the payment page and load only the provider’s official checkout script (PCI DSS 6.4.3).
- Handle approval, card capture and receipts on your own server.
- Own the merchant account settings and the go-live sign-off.
Good to know: All six steps apply. This setup carries the most build work, so expect the longest go-live time.
Steps that apply to this setup: 6 of 6.
