Gratora is a complete fundraising platform for WordPress. It gives you everything you need to accept donations, manage campaigns, and grow your donor base directly from your WordPress site.
What Gratora does
Gratora lets you create fundraising campaigns, build donation forms, and process payments without leaving WordPress. The plugin never holds your funds, and card details go straight from the donor’s browser to your payment gateway rather than through your server.
You can connect Stripe, PayPal, or both, accept offline donations by bank transfer, check, or cash, and test everything in a safe sandbox mode before going live. No single gateway is required, so pick the ones that suit your organization.
System requirements
Before you install Gratora, make sure your site meets these requirements:
- WordPress 7.0 or higher
- PHP 8.1 or higher
- An active SSL certificate (required for payment processing)
Install the plugin
- Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
- Go to Plugins > Add New.
- Search for “Gratora” in the plugin directory.
- Click Install Now on the Gratora plugin.
- Click Activate after the installation finishes.
What happens after activation
After you activate Gratora, the plugin sends you to the onboarding wizard on your next admin page load. The wizard walks you through the initial setup in four quick steps.
You will say who is fundraising, enter your organization details and currency, and pick a starting look. Gratora ends on a short get-started checklist. The entire process takes just a few minutes.
The wizard never asks for payment keys. Its checklist starts with connecting a payment gateway, and Stripe, PayPal, and a manual bank transfer flow are all offered there as starting points.
Next steps
Once activation is complete, follow the onboarding wizard guide to finish setting up your account.
