Overview
Many payment gateways send donors to an outside page to finish a gift. Give BrainTree Gateway keeps the whole transaction on your site instead. Donors fill in your GiveWP form, pay by card or PayPal, and stay on a page they already recognize. If a Braintree donation fails, the donor is notified rather than being shown an error.
The gateway works as an add-on to the GiveWP core plugin, so every donation is recorded in the same place as the rest of your fundraising data. Braintree handles the payment side, including security measures such as PCI compliance and fraud prevention. It suits organizations that already run GiveWP and want a Braintree-backed way to take payments from donors in many countries.
Features
- On-site donation processing: Donors complete their gift inside your GiveWP form without being redirected to another website, which keeps the donation flow consistent with the rest of your pages.
- Credit card and PayPal support: Accept donations by credit card or PayPal, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB and Diners Club, so donors can pick the method they prefer.
- Works with GiveWP: The add-on is built for the GiveWP core plugin, so donation records and reporting stay together in one place and are managed from your WordPress dashboard.
- International and multi-currency use: Compatible with 40+ countries and over 130 currencies, which helps nonprofits receive donations from supporters in different parts of the world.
- Braintree security measures: Payments run on Braintree's security protocols, with PCI compliance and fraud prevention measures that protect donors' sensitive card information.
- Fast payouts: Braintree processes payouts in as little as two days, so funds raised reach your organization without a long wait.
- No monthly or hidden fees: The gateway has no monthly fees or hidden costs, and Braintree's rate structure is transparent, which makes it easier to plan a fundraiser budget.
- Updates from the dashboard: Automatic update capability lets you keep the add-on current from inside your WordPress dashboard, with no separate tools needed.
Best for
- Nonprofits already running GiveWP donation forms
- Charities that want donors to stay on their own site
