## Description

**Fundolar** adds a donation shortcode to WordPress and connects to **Fundolar Central**
for payment processing. Configure Stripe, PayPal, Paystack, Flutterwave, Pesapal,
Mobile Money (UG), and more in your Fundolar dashboard, then sync them to your site.

**What you get**

 * **Shortcode** `[fundolar_donate]` — place the donation form on any page or post.
 * **Fundolar Central** — connect with your site key to sync payment gateways from
   a hosted dashboard.
 * **Appearance** — preset amounts, currency, form layouts, and brand colors.
 * **Dashboard widget** and **Transactions** list with fee breakdown (gross, 3.5%
   platform fee, net).
 * **Security** — encrypted secret storage, capability checks, and nonces on sensitive
   actions.

**Platform fee (3.5%)**

Each donation records gross amount, a **3.5% platform fee**, and net to your site
for reporting.

**Who this is for**

Churches, nonprofits, creators, and anyone who needs donations on WordPress with
Stripe, PayPal, and regional payment methods — without managing API keys inside 
WordPress.

### Privacy

This plugin:

 * Stores donation **transactions** in a custom database table (amounts, status,
   gateway metadata, and donor fields your form collects).
 * Sends **admin support requests** from the in-dashboard help UI to **info@fundolar.
   com** when a site administrator submits the form.
 * Communicates with **payment processors** and **Fundolar Central** as described
   under **External services** when those features are configured.

Consult your privacy policy and processor agreements for lawful bases and retention.
Use WordPress privacy tools where applicable for donor personal data.

For each third-party API, what is sent, when, and links to terms and privacy policies,
see **External services** above.

## Installation

#### Before you start

 * **WordPress** 6.0 or newer and **PHP** 7.4+ (match the headers above; newer versions
   are recommended).
 * **TLS** — your site should use HTTPS for production donations.
 * **Fundolar account** — register at [Fundolar Central](https://app.fundolar.com/owner/register)
   and configure the payment methods you want to offer.

#### Install the plugin

 1. Upload the `fundolar` folder to `wp-content/plugins/`, or upload the ZIP via **
    Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin**.
 2. Activate **Fundolar** under **Plugins**.
 3. Updates are delivered through the WordPress.org plugin directory (**Dashboard  
    Updates**).
 4. In the admin, open **Fundolar  Settings** (or follow any onboarding links shown).

#### Set up payments

 1. Open **Fundolar  Settings  Payments**.
 2. Paste your **site key** from Fundolar Central.
 3. Click **Connect**, then **Sync gateways**.
 4. Enable payment methods in your Fundolar dashboard if none appear after syncing.

#### Publish the form

 1. Add `[fundolar_donate]` to a page or post and publish. Run a small test donation.

#### Optional: payment logos

 1. For branded logos on the form, add SVG (preferred) or PNG files to `wp-content/
    plugins/fundolar/resources/images/logos/` using the filenames listed in the FAQ.

#### Uninstall

Deactivating removes scheduled hooks tied to the plugin. Deleting the plugin via
WordPress runs `uninstall.php`, which removes plugin options and the custom transactions
table — **back up** data first if you need historical exports.

## FAQ

### Do I need a Fundolar account?

Yes. Create a free account at [Fundolar Central](https://app.fundolar.com/owner/register),
configure payment gateways there, and connect your WordPress site with the site 
key under **Fundolar  Settings  Payments**.

### Does the plugin collect personal data?

Donation records in your database may include donor email and name when the form
collects them. Card data is handled by your payment processor. See **Privacy** below.

### cURL error 6 / Could not resolve host

Your server cannot reach Fundolar Central. Confirm outbound HTTPS is allowed and
that DNS resolves `app.fundolar.com`. Contact your host if the problem persists.

### Where do I get payment logos?

Add SVG or PNG files under `wp-content/plugins/fundolar/resources/images/logos/`
with these filenames:

 * `stripe.svg`, `paypal.svg`, `paystack.svg`, `flutterwave.svg`, `pesapal.svg`,`
   mobile-money-ug.svg`, `payoneer.svg`
