What it is
The donate page and each campaign can accept one-time gifts (and supported recurring gifts) after the organisation owner connects a live Paystack account. Checkout is confirmed by a signed Paystack webhook. Gifts show in Transactions and Insights only after Paystack confirms — not when the donor first clicks Pay.
Stripe is listed as coming soon. It is not available yet.
What it is not
1 NGO is not the merchant that receives donor funds. Card data is handled by Paystack. 1 NGO does not store full card numbers. Connecting Paystack does not replace your organisation’s own donation, refund, or tax policies.
How organisations use it
- Turn on two-step verification.
- Open Integrations → Payment → Paystack.
- Paste a live secret key (
sk_live_…). Test keys are not accepted. - Copy the webhook URL 1 NGO shows and paste it into Paystack → API Keys & Webhooks (live). That URL points at the 1 NGO server, not the dashboard hostname.
- Send a small live test gift. The Payment page ticks complete after the signed webhook arrives.
- Publish the donate page and campaigns on the hosts you actually use (Domain, Main Website, and/or WordPress).
What supporters see
A branded donate or campaign page, suggested amounts, and Paystack checkout. After a successful gift they return to your public page (including a WordPress URL if that is the host you published).
