GiveWP Stripe Gateway

Description

The Stripe addon connects GiveWP donation forms to Stripe payment infrastructure, processing credit cards, debit cards, and alternative methods directly at checkout without redirecting the donor outside the site. In addition to the add-on, webhook reception is included for status confirmation, automatic transaction logging in the GiveWP dashboard, and support for the 3D Secure authentication flow required by European and Brazilian banks.

The add-on positions itself as a direct bridge between campaigns built in GiveWP and Stripe processing infrastructure, eliminating intermediaries in the payment flow.
