Get started

Ready to begin your crypto, stock, or card integration with The Giving Block? Get started by following our integration checklist:

• Request API User credentials

  • Email us at [e-mail] to request API user credentials and AES encryption keys for webhook notifications.

  • Store these API user credentials securely and never share with anyone outside your team.

• Use Authentication Flow to authenticate your application

  • Once authenticated, store access and refresh tokens.

• Use Nonprofit Onboarding Flow for automatic flow implementation or email us at [e-mail] to get your organization onboarded to our system

• Use one of integration scenarios:

  • Build a native integration within your donation form

    • Use the access tokens to access API endpoints and integrate one or all of the donation flows:

      • Crypto donation

      • Stock donation

      • Card donation

  • Embed our donation form into your own donation tool

    • Find details on how to embed donation form here

    • This option is compatible with crypto, stock, donor advised funds (DAF), and card donations

Things to Consider When Integrating:

• Consider what functionalities are necessary for your integration

  • Receiving webhook notification for Donation created event

  • Receiving webhook notification for Donation converted to USD

If you are interested in receiving webhook notifications, please provide your webhook endpoint URL to [e-mail]

• Decide who will send receipt emails

Will you (the partner) or The Giving Block be sending donation receipts? By default, emails are sent by The Giving Block.

Note that the API is designed for server-to-server integrations. That means it won't work if you call it from the browser.
