About QuickDonate
From the official readme · v1.0.1Description
QuickDonate is a lightweight donation plugin for WordPress. It provides a shortcode-triggered popup, preset and custom donation amounts, donor email capture, server-side verification, donation logging, and optional thank-you emails.
QuickDonate is gateway-ready for future expansion, but this release includes only Paystack as a working gateway.
The plugin is architected for future gateway expansion. Paystack is the first supported gateway and remains the only fully functional gateway in this release.
External service disclosure:
QuickDonate connects to Paystack to open checkout and verify completed transactions. Payment data required to process a donation is sent to Paystack. Site administrators must provide their own Paystack public and secret keys.

Frequently asked questions
What shortcode should I use?
Use [quickdonate_popup].
Does QuickDonate support more than one gateway?
The plugin is structured for multiple gateways, but this release only includes Paystack as a working gateway.
Is payment verification done server-side?
Yes. The transaction reference is verified on the server before a donation is marked as successful and before any thank-you email is sent.
Does the plugin support preset and custom amounts?
Yes. You can configure preset amounts and optionally allow donors to enter a custom amount.
Does it work with Elementor layouts?
Yes. The modal overlay is moved to document.body to avoid being trapped inside Elementor containers with overflow or transform stacking contexts.
