Why Use Blink for Donations?
Blink offers a streamlined way for UK-based nonprofits to accept donations with lower transaction fees, helping organizations retain more funds for their missions.
By integrating with GiveWP, Blink provides multiple payment options, including credit and debit cards and Open Banking — a secure, direct bank transfer method gaining traction in the UK. Open Banking’s popularity stems from its safety and simplicity, making it an attractive choice for donors who prefer bank transfers over traditional card payments.
International Transaction from Worldwide Donors
While Blink is designed for UK organizations, it supports donations worldwide, allowing nonprofits to reach a global donor base.
Blink payment gateway requirements
The requirements for using the Blink Payment Gateway with GiveWP are as follows:
- Blink is exclusively available to nonprofits and organizations based in the United Kingdom
- Blink is only compatible with donation forms created using the Visual Donation Form Builder. It does not support forms created with the Option-Based Editor or Legacy forms.
- A valid Blink account is required to connect and process donations through the gateway.
- An SSL certificate is required, and your site is configured to HTTPS. (Read our resource)
- API username, password, and signature. These are acquired through your Blink user account.
