Charitable PayUMoney

PayUMoney is a payment gateway for Indian non-profits to accept donations.

Installation

PayUMoney is available as a paid extension for Charitable. If you have not purchased it yet, click here to see pricing options.

Once you have purchased the plugin, installing Charitable PayUMoney is the same as installing any other Charitable extension. If you’re not sure how to do that, we recommend first reading our guide to installing Charitable extensions.

Setting it up

After you have installed and activate PayUMoney, there are just a few things left to do to get started. We assume that you have already created a merchant account with PayUMoney.

  1. Go to Charitable > Settings.
  2. Click on the Payment Gateways tab.
  3. You will see PayUMoney listed as one of the gateway options. Click Enable Gateway to activate it.
  4. After the page reloads, you will see a new button called Gateway Settings. Click this.
  5. On the following page, you can add your license keys, as well as setting the gateway label (this is what donors will see when choosing their payment method):

  6. When you have finished adding your settings, click Save Changes.

Note: To use PayUMoney, your currency must be set to Indian Rupees since PayUMoney will treat all donations as if they are in Rupees. If your currency is not set to INR yet, you will be prompted to change this on the settings page.

🧡 Modal Donate Button: Turn Any Click into a Contribution

Instead of redirecting users to a new URL, the lightweight Modal Donation Button allows donors to complete their gift in a sleek, focused popup, keeping them engaged with your content while they support your cause.

What’s New:

  • Zero-Friction Giving: Open your donation form in a responsive modal overlay. Donors stay on the same page, reducing drop-off.

  • 🖱️ Place it Anywhere: Use the dedicated WordPress block or a simple shortcode to drop a donate button into sidebars, footers, or even mid-sentence in your storytelling.

  • 🎨 Full Design Control: Match your brand perfectly with customizable background colors, hover effects, border radius, and font sizes—all without touching a single line of CSS.

Whether you need a simple “Donate Now” link or a high-converting popup button, the Modal Donate Button gives you the flexibility to raise more with less effort.
