“We considered staying with Popsicle due to their intentions on intergrating with Blackbaud, but that initiative was delayed (and has yet to take off) during the pandemic.”

Integrations rated by users

We looked at 20 user reviews to identify which products are mentioned as Popsicle integrations and how users feel about them.

Stripe

Integration rating: 4.0 (1)

“Popsicle uses Stripe to process payments. As with all payment processors, this tacks on a fee for users. To counteract this, we added a registration fee cost to our program registration. It is not ideal, but the best alternative.”
