Testimonials
Real Users. Real Results.
NGOs, churches, and event organizers across Africa using PawaPay Payment Forms to collect payments simply.
"
We needed to collect programme donations through our WordPress website but couldn't justify setting up WooCommerce for a simple donation form. PawaPay Payment Forms was exactly what we needed — installed in minutes and collecting M-Pesa donations the same afternoon.
"
Our congregation had been WhatsApp-sharing payment numbers for offerings. With this plugin we now have a proper tithe and offering form embedded on our church website. Our members love how easy it is to give — just enter your number and confirm on your phone.
"
I organise tech conferences across East Africa. Before this plugin, managing event registrations and payments was a nightmare. Now I embed a registration-payment form on my event page and everything is handled automatically. The dashboard shows me exactly who has paid and who hasn't.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before installing PawaPay Payment Forms for WordPress.
Do I need WooCommerce to use this plugin?
No — WooCommerce is completely not required. PawaPay Payment Forms is a standalone WordPress plugin. It works on any standard WordPress installation without any e-commerce infrastructure. This is the whole point of the plugin.
Does it work with the Gutenberg block editor?
Yes. The plugin includes native Gutenberg blocks for both payment forms and payment buttons. You can drag the block into any page in the block editor, configure it visually, and it renders your payment form instantly. It also works with Classic Editor via shortcodes.
Can I accept donations with this plugin?
Absolutely. Donation forms are one of the primary use cases. You can create donation forms with preset amounts, custom amount options, donor name and message fields, and full transaction tracking. Recurring donations are coming in an upcoming release.
Can I add payment buttons without a full form?
Yes. You can create lightweight payment buttons using the
[pawapay_button] shortcode or the Payment Button Gutenberg block. The button pops open a minimal payment modal — no full form layout required.Does the plugin work on mobile devices?
Yes — mobile is a core design priority. Every form is fully responsive and tested across all major smartphones. The payment flow is optimised for mobile money users — numeric keyboards for phone entry, minimal steps, and an instant USSD push to the payer's phone.
Is this plugin beginner-friendly?
Completely. You don't need to write any code. After installation, you create a form in the WordPress admin, copy the shortcode, paste it into any page, and you're collecting payments. The settings are straightforward and the documentation covers every step with screenshots.
Can I track and manage transactions?
Yes. The plugin includes a transaction dashboard inside your WordPress admin panel. You can view all payments with their status (successful, pending, failed), customer details, amounts, timestamps, and a full payment log. Export features are on the roadmap.
