GiveWP WePay Gateway

Description

The WePay gateway adds the WePay payment processor as an option in the GiveWP donation form, allowing supporters to contribute with a credit card without leaving the project page. The integration sets up API credentials directly in the GiveWP dashboard and records each transaction in the donation history, keeping the checkout flow consistent with the rest of the plugin and simplifying the campaign’s financial reconciliation.

Who Is It For?

• NGOs and philanthropic institutions raising donations through WordPress with GiveWP.
• Social projects and fundraising campaigns that need to offer WePay as a payment gateway.

For NGOs, churches, and social projects already using GiveWP, this addon integrates WePay into the same dashboard where the team manages campaigns and reports. The practical advantage is keeping donors within the organization’s domain during contributions, with automatic recording in the donation history and reconciliation that eliminates the need for separate spreadsheets to close the campaign’s accounting.
