Enabling express payment options for your website will allow donors to contribute using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or credit card they've saved to their browser. By making these payment options available, you will:
Minimize the time it takes for donors to contribute
Make it easier for people to donate from their mobile devices
Provide an added sense of security by allowing donors to avoid manual credit card input
All of these factors can increase donation conversion rates, giving your organization the means to better promote your cause.
📌 Note: This feature is only available on Donation (v2) pages using NationBuilder Payments. Learn more.
Enable express payment options
To allow payments to be processed using express payment options on all of your Donation (v2) pages, navigate to Website > Site settings > Basic > Enable express payment options on Donation (v2) pages.
If you would like to disable the feature on a specific donation page for any reason, you can do so under Donation settings > Basics > Enable express payment options.
Accept payments with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or browser-saved cards
Once the feature is enabled, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and "Pay now" (for browser-saved cards) will display to donors dynamically depending on which browser they're using. The donor must also already have the relevant payment option configured on their device. If they do not, they will only see the option to pay by credit card.
The options will display in the following environments:
Apple Pay: Safari (desktop and iPhone)
Google Pay: Chrome (desktop and Android)
Browser-saved cards: Microsoft Edge (desktop)
⚠️ Donors using Apple Pay on a MacBook with a touch bar will be asked to confirm their contribution by clicking a message displayed on the bar: "Pay 3dna CORP dba NATIONBUILDER [amount]".
To mitigate any confusion this may cause, a message will only be displayed below the Apple Pay button to affected users, warning them they may be see the above confirmation to NationBuilder. This message can be deleted or modified in your theme files.
Use the feature with a custom theme
If you do not see the buttons on your page, despite enabling the feature and using a device that is configured to see them, you may need to update your theme.
If your theme has been highly customized and you're concerned about losing existing modifications to your donation pages, we recommend working with a certified architect to make the changes for you.
