What it does
Many supporters now hold cryptocurrency, yet most donation forms only take cards or bank transfers. This add-on closes that gap by adding BitPay as a payment option on the fundraising forms you already run with the Give plugin. Donors pick their preferred crypto wallet, choose a supported coin and complete the gift through BitPay's gateway. BitPay works with dozens of digital wallets and serves donors in over 229 countries, which opens your campaigns to an international audience.
Crypto values can swing a lot, so the add-on gives you control over how funds arrive. You can settle donations in a fiat currency such as US Dollar or Euro, or keep them as cryptocurrency if your organization wants to hold digital assets. BitPay processes and deposits payments every business day to your bank account or crypto wallet. For technical teams, a documented API and a sandbox environment make it possible to test and extend the setup before going live.
Best for
- Nonprofits and charities already running Give donation forms
- Fundraising sites seeking donors who hold cryptocurrency
- Organizations collecting international donations from many countries
