Updated

Integrate the HitPay payment gateway into your GiveWP forms.

​
Account Setup
Before you begin integrating HitPay payments into your GiveWP form, you need to set up your HitPay account and ensure some prerequisites are met:

  1. If you haven’t already, create an account on HitPay.
  2. Ensure that you have the necessary payment methods activated in your HitPay account.
  3. Make sure the payment methods you want to offer are enabled in your WordPress sales channel.

​
Description
The HitPay Payment Gateway for GiveWP allows merchants to accept donations through various payment methods including PayNow QR, Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, WeChatPay, AliPay, and GrabPay. This plugin interfaces with HitPay to process these payments efficiently.

Merchants must first create an account with HitPay and choose their desired payment options via the HitPay dashboard. API keys and Salt values must be retrieved from the HitPay Web Dashboard under Settings > Payment Gateway > API Keys.

There are no monthly, setup, admin, or hidden service fees, as merchants pay only per transaction.
