Each Payment Gateway has its own settings and requirements and must be configured individually. Follow this guide to configure your Blackbaud Merchant Services Payment Gateway. Configure this Payment Gateway per Project to connect your Payment Gateway to one specific Project at a time or configure this Payment Gateway for your entire VanillaSoft account and automatically apply the settings to any current or new Projects.
Note: If you have a Payment Gateway configured on an account level, then add a configuration to a specific Project, the Project level configuration will override the account-level configuration for that one Project. No other Projects will be affected.
