GiveWP Paymill Gateway

Description

Paymill gateway enables direct credit card donations via GiveWP forms, processing transactions through Paymill’s infrastructure with support for major card brands and an on-site checkout flow without redirects. Integration suits European organizations and NGOs that need an alternative processor to Stripe or PayPal, keeping donors on the same page until contribution confirmation.

Main Features

• Embedded checkout
  Processes the card on the donation page without redirecting to an external domain.
• Credit card brands
  Accepts the main brands supported by Paymill’s network in Give form.
• Sandbox and production mode
  Switches between test and live accounts via GiveWP settings.
• Card tokenization
  Stores the Paymill-generated token instead of keeping the full number in the database.
• Automatic webhook confirmation

Who It’s For?

Designed for organizations that process card donations in Europe, this add-on connects GiveWP to Paymill’s infrastructure without requiring additional development. Configuration occurs in the same dashboard where you adjust donation forms, integrating credentials, test mode, and return messages into a single administrative flow focused on continuous fundraising for your audience.
