Most donation plugins force you to create campaigns, build forms, and configure success pages and failure pages separately. By the time you’re ready to accept your first donation, you’ve spent hours navigating settings.
HBLateral Instant Donation Checkout takes a different approach: everything lives on a single page.
Activate the plugin, configure Stripe, and your donation page is live — form, checkout, and confirmation, all in one place. No campaigns to create. No page builder required. No scattered configuration across dozens of screens.
Built on WooCommerce for secure, reliable payment processing, HBLateral Instant Donation Checkout is designed for organizations that need a donation page that just works.
<h4>See It in Action</h4>
No 20-minute walkthrough. No endless setup steps before you see a donation happen. Watch a real donation from start to finish in under 3 minutes:
<div class="embed-vimeo" style="text-align: center;"><iframe loading="lazy" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/1163923450" width="750" height="422" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h4>One Page. Everything Included.</h4>
Other donation plugins require you to set up:
<ul>
<li>A donation form (with its own builder)</li>
<li>A separate success page</li>
<li>A separate failure page</li>
<li>A campaign to link it all together</li>
</ul>
HBLateral Instant Donation Checkout gives you all of this in a single, self-contained page — automatically created at <code>/donation</code> when you activate the plugin. Your donor selects an amount, pays, and sees the result — without ever leaving the page. A confirmation email with all the details arrives instantly. No accounts to create, no dashboards to navigate, no extra steps.
<h4>What You Get (Free)</h4>

<li>Instant donation page — auto-created on activation, zero setup required</li>

HBLateral Instant Donation Checkout

Turn your WordPress site into a donation platform. Beautiful checkout page, Stripe payments, and email receipts — ready in minutes.

DonatoTomato

Add a donate button or an embedded donation form to your nonprofit’s WordPress site with no code. Donors give once or start a monthly gift, and donations go straight into your own Stripe account, with automatic tax receipts. There is a flat 1% platform fee on top of Stripe’s standard payment processing, and no monthly fee.
DonatoTomato is operated by Dev1 Consulting LLC, a US company. Donations are processed through Stripe Connect and land directly in your nonprofit’s own Stripe account, so your organization is the merchant of record and we never hold your funds.
This plugin is open source (GPL-2.0-or-later) with full, unminified source published on GitHub. Nothing is hidden, and no third-party tracking libraries are bundled in.
Before you start: the plugin connects to a free DonatoTomato account where your campaigns and payments live. If you don’t have one yet, you can create it (about 2 minutes) right from the plugin’s setup screen, then paste your Organization ID into the plugin and you’re done. Want to see the donation form working first? There is a live demo on the <a href="https://donatotomato.com" rel="nofollow ugc">DonatoTomato homepage</a>, no sign-up required.
<a href="https://donatotomato.com" rel="nofollow ugc">DonatoTomato</a> is a donation platform built for US nonprofits. Accept one-time and recurring donations through an embeddable donation form, with automatic tax receipts, donor management, and a flat 1% platform fee on top of Stripe’s standard processing (no monthly cost).
Three ways to add donations to your site:
<ul>
<li>Floating Donate button (new in 1.3.0) — admin-configured, appears on every page automatically. The simplest path.</li>
<li>Inline widget — embed the donation form directly on a page (shortcode or Gutenberg block)</li>
<li>Donate button block — drop a button anywhere on your site (nav, hero, footer) that opens the donation form as a pop-up</li>
</ul>
Features:
<ul>
<li>Site-wide floating Donate button — pick a campaign, label, color, size, shape, position; live preview in admin</li>
<li>Per-page exclusion list — hide the floating button on legal pages, the embedded donation page itself, etc.</li>
<li>Auto-hide on pages that already contain the inline donation widget — no double-donate-UI confusion</li>
<li>Mobile-responsive with smaller offset on small screens</li>
<li>Accept one-time and recurring (monthly) donations from a single form</li>
<li>Donors manage or cancel their own monthly gift from a link in the receipt email — no login, and nothing for your staff to process</li>
<li>Automatic branded receipt emails, including valid IRS tax-deductible acknowledgments (Section 170(f)(8)) for organizations with a confirmed EIN</li>
<li>Goal progress bars, optional donor-paid card-processing fees (opt-in), and Apple Pay / Google Pay through Stripe</li>
<li>Donations go directly into your own connected Stripe account — your nonprofit is the merchant of record, and DonatoTomato never holds your money</li>
<li>Branded with your nonprofit’s logo and colors</li>
<li>No transaction data stored on your WordPress site — all payments handled securely by Stripe</li>
</ul>
How it works:
DonatoTomato is a hosted donation platform, and this plugin is its WordPress front end. You will need (1) a free <a href="https://donatotomato.com" rel="nofollow ugc">DonatoTomato account</a>, about 2 minutes to create from the plugin’s setup screen, and (2) a Stripe account connected inside DonatoTomato, so donations are charged through your own Stripe and land directly in your bank. There is nothing to host, patch, or back up on your side.
<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
This plugin connects to external services operated by DonatoTomato (Dev1 Consulting LLC) and Stripe. By using this plugin you agree to their respective terms and privacy policies.
DonatoTomato Platform (app.donatotomato.com)
When a visitor loads a page containing a DonatoTomato widget, their browser loads an iframe from <code>app.donatotomato.com</code>. When a page contains a DonatoTomato Donate button (including the site-wide floating Donate button), the browser additionally loads a small focal-modal script (<code>embed.js</code>, ~2KB gzip) from <code>app.donatotomato.com</code> that opens the donation iframe in a pop-up overlay when the button is clicked. The plugin admin also fetches a list of your campaigns from <code>app.donatotomato.com</code> to populate the campaign picker dropdown. Donation form submissions — including donor name, email, and payment details — are transmitted to and processed by DonatoTomato and Stripe. No payment or donor data is stored on your WordPress site.

<h3>Usage</h3>
There are three widget styles: a floating Donate button (admin-configured, site-wide — recommended), an inline embed (donation form sits directly on a page), and a Donate button block (button anywhere on your site opens the donation form in a pop-up overlay).
<h4>Floating Donate button (new in 1.3.0)</h4>
Configure under Settings → DonatoTomato → Floating Donate Button. No shortcodes, no blocks — pick a campaign from the dropdown, tweak label/color/size/shape/position, save. The button appears on every front-end page automatically.
<h4>Inline widget</h4>
Shortcode:
<pre><code>[donatotomato campaign="your-campaign-id"]
</code></pre>
With optional overrides:
<pre><code>[donatotomato slug="your-org" campaign="your-campaign-id" width="480" height="600"]
</code></pre>
Gutenberg Block: Search for “DonatoTomato Widget” in the block inserter (under Embeds). Enter your Campaign ID in the block settings panel.
<h4>Donate button (pop-up)</h4>
Shortcode:
<pre><code>[donatotomato_button campaign="your-campaign-id"]
</code></pre>
With optional overrides:
<pre><code>[donatotomato_button campaign="your-campaign-id" label="Give now" class="my-custom-class"]
</code></pre>
Gutenberg Block: Search for “DonatoTomato Donate Button” in the block inserter (under Embeds). Enter your Campaign ID and optional label.
Adding to your nav menu: Most themes support adding a Custom Link or Custom HTML to the menu. Use the shortcode in a Custom HTML block, or paste the rendered HTML directly: <code><button type="button" class="donatotomato-button" data-dt-donate="your-campaign-id">Donate</button></code> (works only after the plugin is active so the supporting script is loaded).

Add a no-code donate button or donation form to your nonprofit's WordPress site. One-time and recurring gifts go into your own Stripe account.
