What the author says it does
GiveWP is the highest rated, most downloaded, and best supported donation plugin for WordPress. Whether you need a simple donate button or a powerful donation platform optimized for online giving, GiveWP is right for you.
Transform the way you accept online donations, starting for free. With GiveWP you can accept gifts for charity or for other purposes, through customizable donation forms. Our donation plugin also allows you to view donor data and fundraising reports, manage donors, and integrate with a wide variety of third-party gateways and services.
✨ GiveWP Features
GiveWP is free and full of many advanced features to suit your needs. Start by choosing one of our donation form templates to create your first fundraising campaign. Then, take advantage of full-featured fundraising reports and donor management tools to increase your overall fundraising revenue by learning what makes donors donate.
Free donor tools also help keep your donors happy. The donor dashboard helps your donor base easily manage their accounts and access their donation history. With our premium add-ons, you can add additional donor tools, like annual receipts.

Questions the author answers
Where can I learn more about how to use GiveWP?
We have extensive documentation on installing and configuring GiveWP on our website. We suggest starting with the GiveWP 101 article.
How can I get support for GiveWP?
We work hard to the best support possible for GiveWP. The WordPress.org Support Forum is used for free community based support. We continually monitor the forum and do our best to ensure everyone gets a response.
Do you have any demos?
Yes! We have several live examples of GiveWP and the wide variety of form options you can use with GiveWP. Check out our live demo, where you can see what your donors would see.
GiveWP Plus, Pro, and Agency Plan customers will also get a free 30-minute website audit with our Customer Success Team after they purchase. In this meeting, we’ll cover everything you need to know about GiveWP to fit your needs.
Do you have Case Studies of Nonprofits using GiveWP?
Yes! We have two different types of studies that highlight nonprofits in different ways.
“GiveWP Stories” are stories of how nonprofits or individuals implemented GiveWP with success. You can read them all here.
“Case Studies” are more detailed examples of how an agency implemented GiveWP for a specific purpose for an organization. You can read those here.
How is GiveWP better than a simple PayPal donate button?
PayPal donate buttons take your users off-site, which can cause you to lose some in the process. With GiveWP, your donors can stay on-site and you get the benefit of gathering donor data, viewing free fundraising reports, and creating unlimited donation forms. On the other hand, you can always use GiveWP as a simple customized PayPal donate button if you prefer.
How is GiveWP better than a form plugin for accepting donations through WordPress?
Form plugins are excellent solutions for general intake forms. That said, they most often lack substantial donation reporting features, and donor management options. They also lack a variety of presentation options like GiveWP has for embedding your forms in different places throughout your site.
Latest changelog entry
- Fix: Updated the codebase to be fully compatible with the official WordPress Plugin Check guidelines.
- Fix: Added nonce and capability checks to dismiss, onboarding, import, export, usage tracking and database updater requests. A manual migration now requires a URL with a valid nonce (wp_nonce_url with the give_manual_migration action) or the Migration log page.
- Fix: Renamed unprefixed functions and hooks to give_-prefixed names. The old names still work and log a deprecation notice, except _give_is_form_migrated() and before_give_init, which add-ons still use.

Where this page's numbers come from
Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
