What Is Give Razorpay Gateway?
Give Razorpay 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. The extension eliminates the friction of complex bank transfers by offering a simple API-based connection to your merchant account.
This integration solves the problem of high drop-off rates during the donation process by keeping users on your site. Organizations targeting donors in India find this indispensable for supporting local payment methods like UPI and Indian debit cards.
Give Razorpay Gateway Features
The feature set is built around a frictionless donor experience and secure backend processing.
Advanced Checkout Experience
Razorpay Gateway utilizes a checkout popup that allows donors to complete their contributions without leaving your website. All redirection for verification is handled within the interface, maintaining brand trust. The plugin includes a smart retry button that appears automatically if a payment fails, helping capture donations that might otherwise be lost.
Extensive Payment Method Support
The plugin supports a wide array of local payment options including UPI, Credit and Debit Cards, and EMI. It also integrates with popular mobile wallets and Netbanking services from all major Indian banks. This variety ensures that every potential donor can find their preferred method of payment processing.
Security and Compliance
The solution is 100% PCI DSS compliant and certified. Since card information is submitted directly to the PCI DSS certified system over HTTPS, site owners do not necessarily need their own HTTPS or dedicated SSL certificates for the transaction itself. This reduces the technical burden on the website administrator while maintaining high security.
