Hi, @symen.
Glad you reached out.
Offline Donations allows your donor to show that they are intending to send you a payment “Offline”. This might mean a physical check in the mail. It might mean canned goods that they’ll drop off at your location. It could mean a lot of things, but it doesn’t mean a credit card payment.
And since we count these donations for goals and to keep forms updated, we need to know if the donation was completed or not, and the only way for GiveWP to know that is if someone changes the status of the donations. That’s why we do not have a way to automatically set it to completed.
Although we do not have this feature out of the box, it would be exciting and valuable to understand how it would work for you and improve your workflow, so the product development team has some insights into how it would behave.
Also, is there any workaround that you are using? It would be good to hear from you about that too, and what this feature would allow you to do. All ideas are appreciated, and I’m happy to share your insights with the product development team so that they can discuss the feasibility of this feature.
I hope it clarifies, and looking forward to hearing back from you!

Hi Matheus,
I would appreciate the option for selection to have a donation auto approved.
We have people register for paying part of a gift, and put the money in an envelope and bring along during the wedding.
As the gift cannot be officially confirmed until the wedding day, other guests don’t see how much of a gift is already donated, as the percentage bar only shows when the gift is completed.
That’s why we want to auto complete the donation.
let me know if there is an option to adjust the code in the plug-in to test this.
Thanks for the details, @symen. Currently, we do not have a way to do that, but I’ll pass this information to the product development team.
Thanks for using GiveWP! Have a great day.
