FAQ

Is the plugin free?

Yes. The free version includes donation forms, Stripe, HelloAsso, donor management, and fundraising campaigns. CERFA tax receipts, recurring donations, and accounting exports are available in Givasso Pro at givasso.fr/pro.

Does HelloAsso charge commissions?

No. HelloAsso is free for French nonprofits. Donors may optionally tip HelloAsso during payment.

Can I have multiple forms on the same page?

Yes. Each shortcode generates an independent form with unique identifiers.

Is the data secure?

All SQL queries use $wpdb->prepare(). Output is escaped (esc_html, esc_attr, esc_url). Forms are protected by CSRF nonces. Webhooks are verified by HMAC-SHA256 signature.

Can I customize the form design?

Yes. Choose from 5 built-in themes or override templates in your theme by copying the templates/ files to your-theme/givasso/. The flat layout (no card, transparent background) integrates seamlessly into any design. The form automatically inherits the theme typography.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

Givasso is independent of WooCommerce. Both plugins can coexist without conflict.
