Overview

The Novac GiveWP plugin integrates Novac’s hosted checkout system with GiveWP, allowing nonprofit organizations to accept donations securely through their WordPress donation forms. It supports multiple currencies and provides webhook-based payment verification so donation statuses are updated automatically after each transaction.

Before you begin, ensure your environment meets the following requirements:

Installation

Upload the novac-give folder to your WordPress plugins directory /wp-content/plugins/
2

Step 2 - Activate the Plugin

In your WordPress admin panel, go to Plugins and activate the Novac GiveWP plugin.

Configuration

Once the plugin is installed and GiveWP is active, configure the gateway from the GiveWP settings panel:
  1. Go to Donations > Settings > Payment Gateways > Novac.
  2. Enter your Novac API credentials (public and secret keys from your Novac Dashboard).
  3. Configure your webhook settings so Novac can notify your site when a payment completes.
  4. Enable Novac for specific donation forms or activate it globally across all forms.
