WordPress plugin FAQ

Do I need a Giving Scoop account?

Yes. Connect as a shop owner, shop manager, or approved organization administrator. You also need administrator access to the WordPress site you want to connect.

Does the plugin create a WordPress page?

Choose Create draft page to make a regular WordPress page containing the fundraiser block. You decide when to publish it. To use a page you already have, insert the Giving Scoop Fundraiser block and select what to display.

Why is my fundraiser missing?

The picker shows public, active fundraisers available to the connected account. Check that the campaign is published in Giving Scoop and that its selling window has started. Ended fundraisers drop out of the active list.

Where do supporters place orders?

The support button opens the fundraiser on Giving Scoop. Giving Scoop handles checkout, payments, and order details. WordPress displays the public campaign information.

How much does the plugin cost?

The plugin is free. Standard Giving Scoop fees apply to orders placed through the platform.

What can I do when my connection expires?

Connections last 30 days. Return to Settings → Giving Scoop to reconnect. Use Disconnect there to revoke access before uninstalling. Your WordPress pages stay in place.
