Deactivate a Transaction Processor

Updated this week

You can deactivate a transaction processor that is no longer in use. If you have only one transaction processor, you must first add an additional transaction processor before you can deactivate the other processor.

After you deactivate a transaction processor, you can't use that processor to process transactions. You also can't add that processor to forms.

Step 1—Deactivate a Processor

Warning: After you deactivate a transaction processor, forms and autoprocessing payments do not automatically update. You must manually update existing forms and autoprocessing payments currently assigned to that processor.

Bloomerang Payments

If you use the Kindful Fundraising add-on, you must first deactivate it before you can deactivate Bloomerang Payments. Please email [email protected] to deactivate your Kindful Fundraising add-on.

    5. In the Include section, click Add Filter, then search for and select Schedule Status. Select Active, and Overdue, then click OK.

      Schedule status filters
    6. Click OK until you are back to the main set of filters. The report results appear.

Next, update the processor for each transaction listed in the report:
