Wordpress Integration of Donation Forms

James Benson

I'm creating a wordpress plugin which will provide a donation form for one-off and recurring donations.

Currently working out how best to use the API for what we need to do.

Could someone tell me whether I have this process flow correct please.

The initial form will be within wordpress, I then load all our funds for them to select from a dropdown, enter the amount of donation and input their name, address etc into the form (hosted in WP). When they click continue this will then trigger a payment form via the API where they make payment, after which it appears I will have to manually add a constituent record with the donaters details (name, address etc) then manually split the payment into the correct funds (they can donate to multiple funds with one payment) by using the gifts API (passing in the payment and fund ID's).

Have I got this correct or am I missing something?

Thanks

Pretty much. Although you could batch submit the gifts to RE and then identify the constituents in RE. Also, if you are using BBMS as payment, you will need to follow the Checkout process in the Payment API

Thanks. Yes we are using the merchant services to take payment for each donation. Once I've taken the payment I intend to split up the payment into the correct funds, based off what they have selected for each donation amount and fund. Essentially it's going to work like a cart based system where they can add one or more donations to their cart, make payment, then we split the monies into the correct funds.
