Applications and implementation scenarios

This extension is ideal for non-governmental organizations, churches, schools, crowdfunding initiatives, and foundations that conduct online fundraising and want to offer donors the option of paying by card without sending their payments to an external payment gateway. Ideal for those where a seamless user experience and building trust through visual consistency and a simple process are priorities.

• One-off collection campaigns and special events.
• Membership programs and recurring support.

Before implementation, it's worth checking PayPal's terms of service regarding card processing and feature availability in your country.

Security and trust

Using GiveWp PayPal Pro Gateway allows for integration with established PayPal payment solutions, which improves donor recognition and trust.
