What it does
Many donation setups send people away to a separate payment page to finish their gift. That extra step can feel unfamiliar, and some donors leave before completing it. This add-on keeps the whole payment on your own site. Donors enter their card details in your Give donation form, and the transaction is processed through PayPal Pro in the background. Because it is built for Give, it needs that plugin to be active, and it fits into the forms and donation records you already use there.
The gateway works for one-time gifts as well as recurring donations, and it can accept payments in multiple currencies, which helps organizations with supporters in different countries. Its PayPal options sit on a single consolidated PayPal settings page, so configuration stays in one place. Transaction history and donor data are available for reporting and bookkeeping. The checkout is responsive across phones, tablets and desktops, and your payment forms can be customized to match your branding.
Best for
- Nonprofits running donation forms with the Give plugin
- Charities accepting card donations from international supporters
