The connection
Online donations and Genius Checkout
Nonprofits can use Genius Checkout with GiveWP or a hosted payment link to collect donations through a supported merchant account.
The configured payment provider handles the payment and settlement. Donation records, payment results, and notifications follow the selected integration.

Implementation path
Connect without guessing at the gateway
Use the provider details issued for the merchant account. Test and live credentials must stay in their matching environments.
- 01
Connect your merchant account
Add the credentials supplied by your bank, gateway, or wallet provider to Genius Checkout. Test and live credentials stay separate.
- 02
Connect the software
Install or authorize the Genius Checkout integration for the platform. The connection keeps gateway credentials outside the store or CRM.
- 03
Run a controlled test
Use the approved test mode, verify the return flow and order status, then repeat the checklist in live mode with a permitted low-value transaction.
Before you start
What you need
Keep credentials out of email and screenshots. Enter them only inside the secure merchant configuration.
- A supported merchant or nonprofit payment account
- GiveWP or a Genius Checkout payment link
- Recurring capability for scheduled gifts
Merchant questions
Answers before you connect
Can I collect donations without WordPress?
Yes. Use a hosted payment link or QR code.
Can I prevent duplicate donor emails?
Yes. Configure Genius Checkout notification preferences when Give already sends donor receipts.
Can donors use a local wallet?
They can use the payment methods configured and available for that merchant and transaction.
