常见问题:
How do I accept donations by Mobile Money on WordPress?
Install WooCommerce, the free Fosia Pay Lite gateway (connected to your own PawaPay merchant account) and Fosia Crowdfunding Lite. Create a campaign with a goal and suggested amounts, then share its page on WhatsApp or as a QR code. Donors choose an amount, approve the MTN MoMo, M-Pesa, Airtel Money or Orange Money payment on their phone, and the total updates once the payment is confirmed.
Can a church, school, association or charity use it?
Yes. Each campaign has its own page with a goal, a progress bar, budget lines ("what your money pays for") and updates, so donors see where their gift goes. Donor names stay private unless the donor chooses to show their first name.
Is it free? Is there a limit on campaigns or donations?
Yes, it is free, and there is no limit on the number of campaigns, donations or donors. Nothing is locked, and no feature stops working after a while.
Do I need Fosia Pay?
No. You need WooCommerce and at least one payment method enabled in it. Donations are WooCommerce orders, so any WooCommerce gateway can take them. For Mobile Money, the free Fosia Pay Lite gateway connects your own PawaPay merchant account; when it is enabled, the donation form shows the Mobile Money steps and operators, otherwise it stays neutral ("Continue to payment"). Campaigns > Configuration shows which payment methods are enabled.
Does Fosia take a commission?
No. This plugin takes no commission and adds no fee. Your payment provider charges its own usual fees, as for any other order.
Where does the money go?
Straight to the payment account connected to your WooCommerce gateway (for example your own PawaPay merchant account with Fosia Pay Lite). The plugin never receives, holds or forwards money, and Fosia never touches it.
Where are donors' names shown?
Only donors who tick "Show my first name on the page" are listed by first name and initial; everyone else appears as "Anonymous". Phone numbers and e-mail addresses are never shown publicly. Only shop managers see full donor details in the Donations Log.
Does the plugin send data anywhere?
Not on its own. QR codes are drawn in the visitor's browser. A campaign video (YouTube or Vimeo) loads only when the visitor presses play, and WhatsApp opens only when the visitor taps the share button. When you deactivate the plugin, the optional "Quick feedback" window sends your answer to Fosia only if you click "Submit & Deactivate" (your site address and e-mail only if you tick the box). See "External services" below.
I use the older all-in-one Fosia Crowdfunding 2.x
Either order works. Update the older plugin as usual: it keeps your campaigns running and offers to install Lite in one click. If you install Lite first, it waits while 2.x is active and takes over after the update. Same campaigns, same totals, same donations: nothing to migrate.
Is it translated?
The plugin is fully translatable (text domain fosia-crowdfunding-lite). French is included and used automatically on French sites until a language pack is published.
更新日志:
- Fixed: totals stay true. A donation whose order is later cancelled, failed, put back on hold, trashed or deleted leaves the campaign total, the donor count and the public donor list (it is counted again if the order comes back to Processing or Completed, refunds kept). "Cash on delivery" donations count once you mark the order Completed, and the donor is told the organiser will confirm the payment.
- Fixed: no dead end for donors. While no payment method is on in WooCommerce, campaigns show "Donations open soon" (administrators see why) instead of a form that leads to a checkout with no way to pay.
- Improved: a donation-shaped checkout. When the cart holds donations only, WooCommerce no longer asks for a street address, city or postcode (some countries required a postcode); the campaign name shows under "Donation"; the donor's name is filled in. The hidden "Donation" product can no longer be bought on its own by its address.
- Improved: the confirmation page opens with the donation box and a matching first line; donor e-mails say "Thank you for your donation to …" with the campaign link (or "registered" while the payment is not confirmed). No second box when Fosia Pay already shows the payment state.
- Improved: campaign editor. "Campaign details" opens with the block editor (it was folded at the bottom), a "Before you publish" line shows the story, photo, goal and payment method live, and a budget line or update typed but not added with its button is kept when you save.
- Improved: block themes get a campaign page template (title, photo, donation panel next to the story); the theme's "Written by … in" line and "More posts" no longer appear under campaigns. A theme with its own campaign template keeps it.
- Improved: the phone field says "Phone number" (not "Mobile Money number") when no Mobile Money gateway is on. Donations Log: the campaign filter filters the list, a summary line gives the total, export the shown list. Configuration warns when the display currency differs from the store currency.
- Improved: guided setup. The step bar marks Payments and First campaign "to do" when they are not done; the Done list has a link on each line still to do; the first campaign asks the organiser name (the site name by default, instead of the user name); the currency is shown, not asked. "Find it in Plugins > Add New" for a Mobile Money gateway, and "check again" after turning one on.
- Added: French is shipped with the plugin and used until a translate.wordpress.org language pack exists.
- Uninstall also removes the guided setup state.
- Guided setup (shared design kit): the last screen's list keeps each line next to its mark on phones.
- readme: short description, tags and FAQ written for the searches people make (crowdfunding, donation, fundraising, Mobile Money donations, MTN MoMo, M-Pesa), the list of countries where Mobile Money donations work, and no add-on feature list (the separate Pro plugin is named once).
- Added: the guided setup's Welcome step shows the how-to video (English or French, by site language), loaded from YouTube only when you press play.
- Added: a guided setup that opens once, right after you activate the plugin (never on bulk activation): Welcome, Look (display currency and colour), Payments (which payment methods are on in WooCommerce), First campaign (a draft with its name and goal), Done (what is set up, next step, help links). "Exit guided setup" on every step saves what you entered; "Resume setup" stays on the Campaigns screen until it is finished. Phone-friendly and keyboard-friendly.
- Added: a short "Quick feedback" window when you deactivate the plugin, with a link to support. Optional: nothing is sent on "Skip & Deactivate"; see "External services" for what "Submit & Deactivate" sends. No "too expensive" reason for this free plugin.
- Guided setup: pressing Enter in a field continues the step (it used to leave the setup), and the last screen says "Almost ready" while steps are left.
- Security hardening (WordPress.org review, also in the 1.1.0 sent to WordPress.org): the campaign story is escaped with wp_kses() (post HTML and embeds), the donation request checks a nonce for every visitor (a cached page gets a fresh one automatically), the "no payment method" notice has "Don't show again", the WooCommerce and older-version notices only appear on the Plugins screen, and the Configuration page names Pro in one plain line.
- Escaping: every block of HTML printed by the plugin goes through wp_kses() with the list of tags the plugin uses (no more unescaped output).
- The donation form names Fosia Pay, Mobile Money operators and the "approve on your phone" step only when a Fosia Pay gateway is enabled; with any other payment method it says "Continue to payment" and "Secure checkout". Same for the thank-you box.
- Campaigns > Configuration shows the payment methods enabled in WooCommerce; a notice on the Campaigns screens warns when none is enabled.
- readme: FAQ (free and unlimited, commission, where the money goes), External services section, new screenshots.
- First release as a free base plugin: the campaign, donation and totals core of Fosia Crowdfunding, with unlimited campaigns. Same data as Fosia Crowdfunding 2.x (post type
fosia_campaign,_fosia_*meta), so existing sites switch without migration.
