Give 2Checkout Gateway

The Give 2Checkout Gateway plugin bridges the gap between your WordPress donation platform and one of the world’s most versatile global payment processors. Designed specifically for GiveWP, this extension empowers non-profits, charities, and fundraisers to accept donations securely from donors around the world without needing a complex merchant account setup. By integrating 2Checkout (now Verifone) directly into your donation forms, you provide a seamless, professional checkout experience that builds donor trust and increases your fundraising potential.

Key Features

• Global Payment Acceptance: Effortlessly accept donations in multiple currencies and from over 200 countries, ensuring that your cause is not limited by geography.
• Seamless GiveWP Integration: Designed to work natively with the GiveWP plugin, allowing you to add 2Checkout as a payment gateway option in your existing donation forms with minimal configuration.
• Secure Transaction Processing: Leverage the robust security infrastructure of 2Checkout, which is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant, ensuring that sensitive donor payment data is handled with the highest industry standards.
• Support for Major Credit Cards: Enable donors to contribute using all major credit and debit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover, providing the flexibility donors expect.
• Streamlined Donor Experience: Keep donors on your website during the payment process, reducing friction and abandonment rates compared to redirecting users to external payment pages.
• Comprehensive Reporting: View your 2Checkout donation data directly within the GiveWP reporting dashboard, allowing you to track fundraising progress alongside your other payment methods.

Use Cases and Who It’s For

This plugin is the ideal solution for any organization using GiveWP that needs a reliable, international payment gateway. It is specifically designed for:

Non-Profits and Charitable Organizations: If your mission has a global reach, you need a payment processor that can handle international transactions without high failure rates. This gateway ensures that donors from across the globe can contribute to your cause easily.

Educational Institutions and Schools: Whether raising funds for scholarships, building projects, or alumni support, schools often receive donations from a wide geographic area. This plugin simplifies the process of collecting these funds securely.

Individual Fundraisers and Crowdfunding Campaigns: For personal causes or community projects, having a professional payment gateway helps establish credibility. By using 2Checkout, you signal to potential donors that their financial information is being handled by a trusted, enterprise-grade payment processor.

Organizations Seeking Payment Flexibility: If you are struggling with geographic restrictions from other payment gateways, 2Checkout offers a broader reach, making it an excellent choice for organizations operating in regions where other major processors may have limited availability.
