Description
The Manual Donations add-on records offline donations directly in the GiveWP dashboard, allowing you to log contributions received by check, cash, bank transfer, or ATM without relying on the site’s public checkout. This add-on associates each entry with a new or existing donor, keeps a complete history in the dashboard, and unifies reports, statistics, and campaign metrics regardless of the contribution’s source channel.
Key Features
- Manual donation entry
Allows you to record contributions received outside the site directly through the GiveWP admin panel. - Link to new or existing donor
Associates each entry with a donor record, new or already present in the database. - Form and campaign selection
Connects the manual donation to the corresponding form and campaign to keep reporting consistent. - Entry status definition

Who Is It For?
- NGOs, foundations, and social projects that receive donations by check, cash, or bank transfer.

- Fundraising administrative teams that need to centralize offline entries alongside online fundraising.
Designed for organizations that receive donations through multiple channels, the Manual Donations add-on eliminates fragmentation between online and offline financial control by consolidating all contributions in the GiveWP dashboard. Fundraising teams gain speed by logging entries directly in the admin, with automatic linkage to the donor, campaign, and form, keeping reports true to the actual amount raised.
