Benefits for organizations and website administrators

Implementing GiveWp Square Gateway allows for quick and easy donation acceptance without leaving the organization's website. The combined power of GiveWP and Square translates into:

• Professional donation process: intuitive forms and short payment times increase conversion rates.
• Transaction security: tokenization and payment processing by a trusted provider minimize the risk of fraud.
• Transparency of settlements: transactions are recorded in the GiveWP dashboard, which facilitates reporting and financial control.
• Scalability: the solution works for both small NGOs and larger fundraising campaigns.

Applications and typical use cases

The GiveWp Square Gateway add-on works well in a variety of non-profit and commercial contexts, including:

• Fundraising campaigns conducted by charities and foundations.
• One-time special collections, donor subscriptions and patronage programs.
• Ticket sales and event registrations where secure card payment acceptance is required.
• Local and community organization websites that require a simple donation process on WordPress.

Requirements and configuration

To use GiveWp Square Gateway, you must have an active Square account and the GiveWP plugin installed and configured on your WordPress website. Setup involves connecting Square API keys, enabling test or production mode, and customizing the donation form fields. Once properly configured, donors can pay by card directly on the website, and transactions will be recorded in the GiveWP system.

Security and Compliance

Square Gateway's GiveWp integration leverages tokenization and communication with the Square API, minimizing the flow of sensitive data through the WordPress server. This offloads payment security responsibilities to Square's infrastructure, making it easier to maintain compliance with payment card processing requirements.

GiveWp Square Gateway is a practical solution for organizations seeking a stable, secure, and easy-to-use payment gateway integrated directly with the GiveWP donation system. It allows them to quickly increase fundraising efficiency while maintaining control over data and billing.
