New Stripe ACH Option through Stripe Link

Stripe recently enabled a new feature within Stripe Link that allows donors to pay directly from their bank account (an "Instant Bank Payment"). We temporarily disabled Stripe Link across the platform while we built proper support for this new payment type — specifically, ensuring these gifts are correctly identified as bank payments rather than being recorded as credit card transactions with placeholder card details.

Stripe Link will be re-enabled the week of August 29th. When it returns, donors who use Link may pay by bank account in addition to credit or debit card. Here's what changes in your reporting and data integrations.

Gift reporting new fields

The card_type field in gift and deposit reports will display a new value for Stripe Link bank payments:

If you use the card_type, field in any automated processing or reconciliation, you will need to update your logic to account for these new values for new bank payments coming to your school through Stripe Link.

Bank Transfer Reporting

Stripe Link bank payments now count as bank transfers in reporting. If you track bank vs. card gift volume, your bank transfer numbers will increase and credit card numbers will be accurately reported for this change.

Raiser's Edge NXT Integration

The payment method for Stripe Link bank payments in the Blackbaud RENXT gift export will change:

This matches how other bank payment types (ACH) are already exported.

ACH Disabled Impact

Because Stripe Link can now initiate bank payments and this is not an optional offering with Stripe Link, schools that have ACH / bank account payments disabled will also have Stripe Link disabled. This prevents donors from inadvertently making bank payments on schools that have opted out of accepting them.

If your school has ACH disabled and you would like to re-enable Stripe Link, you will need to enable ACH payments first.

GiveCampus API

If you consume the GiveCampus APIs, the following fields will reflect the new value for Stripe Link bank payments:

• Gifts v1 API — card_type will return bank-stripe-link
• Event Registrations v1 API — payment_method will return bank-stripe-link
• Recurring Subscriptions v1 API — payment -> type will return stripe_link_bank_account

Week of August 24, 2026

Update: Stripe ACH Deposit Changes

As part of an infrastructure upgrade to Stripe's latest ACH payment system, there are changes to how ACH (bank account) gifts are deposited and how they appear in your reports.

These changes are live now and apply to all schools on the GiveCampus platform.

Deposits

Previously, ACH gifts and credit card gifts settled into separate deposits in your bank account. With this update, ACH and card gifts are now combined into a single deposit.

This is a permanent change driven by Stripe's updated payment infrastructure and cannot be reversed.

What this means for you:

• If your reconciliation process relied on separate ACH and card deposits, you will need to adjust your workflow.
• The deposit report from GiveCampus still itemizes each gift by payment type, so you can continue to distinguish ACH from card gifts within a report — they simply arrive in one bank deposit and one report rather than two.
• The bank statement descriptor on your combined deposit may look slightly different than your previous ACH-only deposit descriptor.

The card_type field in deposit reports has changed for bank account gifts. Previously, all ACH gifts displayed as "ACH". New ACH gifts now display the donor's bank name (e.g., "WELLS FARGO BANK NA", "JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, NA") or a variant such as "bank-instant", "bank-manual", or "Bank" depending on the verification method.

If you use the card_type field in any automated processing or reconciliation, you will need to update your logic to account for these new values potentially.

Raiser's Edge NXT Integration

• NEW!  Every school on our native Raiser's Edge NXT integration can now import a broader set of constituent profile details automatically on a nightly basis. Data such as affiliations, phones, emails, addresses, class years, and custom fields can be automatically synced, unlocking better segmentation, outreach, and personalization without wrangling CSV imports. For more details and a full list of imported fields, see our GCU article.

• The Blackbaud RE NXT integration settings page also got a refreshed look and now lives in a new menu location: School Dashboard > Integrations

  

Event Registrations API

• The Event Registrations API (GET /api/event_registrations) now supports two new filters: event_ids (target specific events) and end (cap results by timestamp). Partners can now pull exactly the data they need instead of over-fetching from a start date.

May 2026

Week of May 25, 2026

Gifts API

• The Gifts API now returns a payment_country field (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code) for card-based gifts. Useful for institutions building foreign gift compliance reports via the API.

  Returns null for non-card payment methods (including ACH, Link, CashApp, PayPal, and DAF).

  Adds two new fields to the Gifts API subscription object — normalized_period and normalized_length — which return period and duration in consistent, human-readable units. For example, a 3-year monthly pledge now returns normalized_period: "monthly" and normalized_length: 36. The original period and length fields remain unchanged for backward compatibility.

  Raiser's Edge NXT Integration

  • Fixes NXT constituent matching for IDs containing backslash characters (e.g. 2025\131), which previously caused "Missing Constituent ID" errors during gift exports

  Gifts API

  •  

    • The Recurring Subscriptions API now includes a custom_fields object within each subscription record. This exposes the same per-contribution additional fields already available in the Gifts API, allowing partners to receive discrete donor name fields (first_name, last_name) rather than only the concatenated payer_name.
