What Is Give 2Checkout Gateway?
Give 2Checkout Gateway is developed by GiveWP and is a payments plugin for WordPress. It belongs to the payments category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for nonprofit organizations and digital fundraisers.
This extension solves the problem of local currency limitations by allowing organizations to accept donations in nearly 200 countries. It is designed for nonprofits that need a highly secure, PCI-compliant merchant account that handles complex international compliance automatically.
Give 2Checkout Gateway Features
The 2Checkout Gateway feature set is built around secure, high-volume transaction processing and global accessibility.
Advanced Fraud Protection
Security is a core focus of the plugin, which utilizes 2Checkout’s proprietary fraud prevention system. The gateway applies more than 300 fraud rules to every transaction to mitigate risk and prevent unauthorized charges. This level of protection helps organizations maintain their reputation while minimizing chargebacks in high-risk regions.
Global Reach and Localization
The plugin supports a massive geographical footprint, including 197 countries and 87 different currencies. It supports more than 15 languages, ensuring that the donation checkout experience feels native to the donor’s location. This makes it an ideal payments solution for international relief organizations or global foundations.
PCI Compliance and Security
2Checkout Gateway is PCI Level 1 certified, which is the highest security standard in the payment industry. Redundant data centers store and encrypt sensitive credit card data off-site. This architecture ensures that sensitive donor information never touches your local WordPress database, significantly reducing your organization’s security liability.
Pricing
Retail pricing for the official addon starts at $79 per year for a single site license. Access via WPExclusive includes the plugin within the membership plans.
| Plan | Price | Sites | Includes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single Add-on | $79/year | 1 Site | 1 Year Support |
| GiveWP Plus Plan | $349/year | 1 Site | All Premium Addons |
| WPExclusive Membership | From $9.99/month | Unlimited | 2Checkout Gateway + full library |
For developers managing multiple sites, a WPExclusive membership covers 2Checkout Gateway plus hundreds of other plugins and themes — usually less than one premium license.
