 * Hi there,
 * We don’t currently have any documentation surrounding creating a custom payment
   gateway addon through Give, as this is a bit of a larger undertaking.
 * If setting up a custom payment gateway is important to you or your organization,
   I recommend reaching out to a developer who specializes in the payment gateway
   you wish to integrate.
 * Thanks.

 * I’m asking for a Gateway API documentation and not documentation for the custom
   gateway.
 * Givewp should have documentation for this. I had to read stripe gateway code 
   to know how it works internally. Which is very annoying.

 * Hi [@luizbills](https://wordpress.org/support/users/luizbills/)
 * The best docs we have are the built-in gateways within our code. Many developers
   have built custom gateways for GiveWP by reading our code and using common development
   practices.
 * Currently, you can see exactly how we built our PayPal Standard and Stripe free
   gateways. Or even Offline Donations if that’s relevant for your test-case.
 * Additionally, here’s more resources that might be helpful for you:
    - [Chris Flannagan wrote an article about it](https://whoischris.com/building-payment-gateway-give-wp-donation-plugin-wordpress/)
    - [We have a GiveWP Addon boilerplate that you might like](https://github.com/impress-org/givewp-addon-boilerplate)
    - [A third party wrote a gateway addon for their bitcoin service](https://wordpress.org/plugins/gourl-bitcoin-paypal-donations-give-addon/)
 * Between those resources you should be on your way to making it happen relatively
   quickly.
 * Thanks!
