Overview
Online fundraising works best when donors can finish a gift without leaving your site. Give Square Gateway adds Square as a payment option inside GiveWP donation forms, so supporters enter their card details on your pages and the payment is processed by Square. It fits organizations that already use GiveWP and want a card processor many donors will recognize.
The plugin handles one-time gifts and recurring donations, and it supports most major credit cards. Payment details are encrypted from the moment they are entered until they reach Square, which keeps sensitive data off your server. Refunds can be issued from the WordPress dashboard through the GiveWP interface, so day-to-day donor management stays in one place.
Features
- Square payments on your site: Accept credit card donations directly on your website through the Square payment gateway, so donors complete their gift without being redirected elsewhere.
- Recurring donation support: Donors can set up recurring contributions on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual schedule, managed through the GiveWP Recurring Donations add-on.
- End-to-end encryption: Donor payment information is encrypted from entry until it reaches Square's secure processing environment, which keeps sensitive card data off your server.
- Fraud detection through Square: Square's machine learning fraud analysis checks transactions, helping protect your organization from fraudulent payments as you accept donations online.
- Refunds from the dashboard: Issue refunds from inside WordPress through the GiveWP interface, with no need to open a separate Square dashboard to manage donor payments.
- Wide card acceptance: Take most major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB and Diners Club, so donors can pay with the card they prefer.
- Quick deposit options: Square deposits funds on the next business day, with instant or same-day deposits available as options, so your organization can reach its donations sooner.
- Setup without API keys: The integration needs no API key setup. Its code is documented and has been reviewed by the Square development team, and donation forms meet PCI compliance requirements.
Best for
- Nonprofits already running GiveWP donation forms
- Organizations that want Square card payments on their own site
