Description
The AmeriCloud Payments gateway connects GiveWP to the AmeriCloud payment processor, enabling credit card donations directly within the plugin’s forms. The integration adds the AmeriCloud method as an option in the donation checkout, processes transactions via the processor’s API, and records the status of each payment in GiveWP’s donation panel, serving organizations that already operate accounts with this processor.
