      If “The API key is set to …” is not displayed, select the Edit API Keys link in order to create and configure an API key.

       

      Note: In the preceding image, myLuminateOnlineAPIKey is an arbitrary value that we’ll use throughout this tutorial.  Where applicable, please replace this value with your organization’s Luminate Online API Key.

       

      Step #4: Add Double the Donation Matching’s IP address to your allowlist (previously referred to as whitelisting). Press the Edit server API configuration link.

       

       

      Step #5: Double the Donation Matching’s IP address is 23.96.109.67. Enter this value and press the Add New IP Range to list button.

       

       

      Step #6: Add a record for Double the Donation Matching.  In the User Name field, type doublethedonation. In the password field, type any arbitrary value you would like.

      Blackbaud Checkout through Luminate Online-Double the Donation Matching FAQs

      Q: I don’t have a Double the Donation Matching account. How do I get one?

      A: Visit https://doublethedonation.com/demo-request/ to request a demo! Make sure you mention that you use Blackbaud Checkout in your demo request form.

       

      Q: How does the integration work?

      A: After Blackbaud Checkout successfully processes a payment, it’ll send the donor’s constituent ID and transaction confirmation number to the main page.  That information is sent to Double the Donation Matching via the embed code from phase 2 above. Then, Double the Donation Matching uses the API from phase 1 above to gather the constituent’s email address, first name, and last name.

       

      Q: Will Double the Donation Matching honor a donor’s wish to not be emailed?
      A: Yes. If the donor is blocklisted in your Luminate Online portal, Double the Donation Matching will also blocklist that email.
       
      Q: My organization uses a custom domain for our donation form. Will this cause a problem with the integration?
      A: Organizations using a custom domain should not encounter any problems with the Double the Donation Matching integration. The matching module is able to recognize the most common domains, including  https://secure2.convio.net/,  https://secure3.convio.net/, and custom domains that are redirected through Luminate Online. If your organization has completed all the steps in this integration guide data is still not flowing from your donation forms to Double the Donation Matching, and your organization uses a custom domain, it is possible that the standard integration has not been able to recognize the custom domain. Contact support@doublethedonation.com to diagnose whether this is the case.

       

      Q: Where else can I embed Double the Donation's plugin, other than on my Blackbaud Checkout donation form?
      A: We recommend you create a dedicated matching gift page on your website to place matching gift information in the path of every website visitor, not just those already on your donation form. On this page, you can explain what matching gift programs are and provide donors with a chance to look up their employer’s program forms, guidelines, and instructions. Your dedicated matching gift page will become a useful resource to include in emails, newsletters, and direct messages.
       
      To install Double the Donation’s matching gift search tool anywhere on your website, simply copy and paste the Embed Code from your matching module onto the desired page. Take a look at an example from the Cat Rescue Club:
