Seamless Donations: Introducing Apple Pay and Google Pay in Bloomerang Payments

In an era where many donors today rarely carry cash and pay for products daily with taps, apps, and 1-click buttons, nonprofits must adapt to acquire, retain and cultivate their biggest supporters. With this in mind, we’re excited to announce the next evolution of Bloomerang Payments – the integration of Google Pay and Apple Pay. This addition empowers nonprofits to tap into the exponential growth of digital wallets while providing donors with a seamless, convenient, and secure giving experience.

The Digital Wallet Revolution

Over the last 24 months we have seen a global surge in the adoption of digital wallets. This trend was accelerated by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. During 2020, nonprofits saw a 42% drop in cash donations; these numbers stayed low in preceding years, never rising to pre-COVID levels. While traditional online donations are on the rise, the speed and convenience of digital wallets are capturing the hearts of consumers and donors alike.

Digital wallets have proven to be a game-changer for nonprofits. In addition to streamlining the donation process, they reduce donor checkout friction, inspire trust, and remarkably, boost unplanned gifts by 32% and repeat donations by an astonishing 79%. It’s clear that the future of fundraising lies in embracing digital wallets.

43% of people worldwide, that’s 3.4 billion individuals who already use a digital wallet today. And this number is projected to be 60% by 2026.

Raise More with Digital Wallets

We’re thrilled to make digital wallets an integral part of Bloomerang Payments. This strategic move not only enhances the giving experience for donors but also empowers nonprofits to stay ahead of the curve. Here are the key elements of this exciting new feature:

• Expanded Payment Options: Donors using Bloomerang’s fundraising tools, such as donation forms, donation pages, events, and crowdfunding pages, will now see Apple Pay and Google Pay as convenient payment choices.
