“I didn’t need bulky WooCommerce to collect payments for a single item. SmartPay provided me with a fast and easy solution to collect payments.”
The WordPress Donation Plugin Built for Modern Fundraising
Create donation forms and fundraising campaigns with goals, suggested amounts, recurring giving, and PDF receipts — and let supporters give from anywhere in the world.
Launch a Fundraising Campaign in Three Steps
No developer, no platform signup, no percentage of your donations going to a middleman platform.
1
Install the Plugin
Install WP Smart Pay from wordpress.org and connect the payment gateway your organization already uses.
2
Create Your Campaign
Set a fundraising goal, suggested amounts, and recurring options — the progress bar updates as gifts come in.
3
Embed and Share
Drop the donation form on any page with a Gutenberg block and share the link with your supporters.
Fundraising Tools That Keep Supporters Giving
Everything a nonprofit needs to collect, grow, and manage donations — on your own WordPress site.
Campaign Goals & Progress Bars
Show supporters how close the campaign is to its goal — visible progress motivates the next gift.
Recurring Donations
Let supporters give monthly or yearly with automatic billing — no reminder emails, no lapsed pledges.
Suggested & Custom Amounts
Offer preset giving levels or let donors enter any amount they choose, in the currency they prefer.
Donor Management & Receipts
Track donors, send PDF receipts automatically, and manage acknowledgements from one dashboard.
Borderless Giving
Accept donations in 150+ currencies from supporters anywhere in the world.
Your Gateway, Your Money
Donations settle straight into your own Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, or Paystack account — funds never sit with us.
Built for the Way Modern Giving Works
The most important donation your organization receives isn't the biggest one — it's the one that repeats. A $20 monthly donor gives $240 a year, keeps giving through the seasons when one-time gifts dry up, and costs you nothing to re-acquire. Yet most donation setups still treat recurring giving as an afterthought or a paid add-on.
WP Smart Pay puts the monthly option directly in the donation form — one toggle for the donor, automatic billing after that. Supporters manage their own gift from a dashboard, receipts go out without anyone touching them, and your donor records stay on your site rather than a third-party platform.
The other half of modern giving is that it comes from everywhere. Your supporters are on different continents, with different wallets — which is why campaigns accept 150+ currencies through the gateway that fits each market: Stripe or PayPal broadly, Mollie for European methods like iDEAL, Paystack for Nigeria and Ghana, Razorpay for India.
Who Fundraises With WP Smart Pay
Different causes, same machinery: a campaign, a form, and supporters who can give in seconds.
Nonprofits & NGOs
Run annual appeals and program-specific campaigns side by side, each with its own goal — and give your board real numbers from the reports dashboard.
Faith Communities
Collect tithes, offerings, and building-fund gifts online with recurring schedules — and event fees for retreats through the same plugin.
Schools & Clubs
PTA fundraisers, booster clubs, and alumni drives with suggested amounts, progress bars, and receipts that keep the treasurer happy.
Creators & Mutual Aid
Tips, community support, and emergency funds — supporters give any amount in their own currency, one time or monthly.
The Donor Journey, Step by Step
What actually happens when someone clicks "Donate" on your site.
1
Give
The supporter picks a suggested amount (or writes their own), chooses one-time or monthly, and pays without leaving your site.
2
Receipt
A PDF receipt lands in their inbox automatically — with your organization's details, ready for their records.
3
Manage
Recurring donors get a self-serve dashboard to update cards, pause, or change their gift. No awkward "please cancel my donation" emails.
4
Repeat
You see every donor, gift, and campaign in one dashboard — so thank-yous, tax summaries, and re-engagement actually happen.
