Impact Connect Nonprofits Donation

A donation form for Indian nonprofits. Donors pay your own bank account by UPI, so there are no platform fees and no cut. You confirm each donation, then the donor gets a thank-you mail and a certificate of appreciation. Features

• Donate block with preset amounts and an "other" amount
• UPI direct: the payment details appear only after your UPI ID is verified; intent link, QR and a short donation reference
• Donation status page for each donor, with an optional "Send screenshot as proof" step
• Optional automatic confirmation: a donation can be confirmed automatically only from an owner-uploaded bank statement after the existing learning, evidence and amount checks. Bank-email matches remain suggestions for manual review because raw email headers cannot prove their authentication results came from the receiving server. A donor's picture alone never confirms. It is off by default. Every automatic step is logged and can be reversed.
• Duplicate-picture and edited-picture flags on donor proofs, for the owner to review
• Verify UPI screen for the owner, bank statement matching, record a payment received outside the site
• Editable mail templates for every mail the plugin sends
• Branded certificate of appreciation and an 80G receipt layout. The plugin does not claim 80G status for you. You enter your own registration details.
• Donor list, filters, CSV export, reports
• Phone-first. No trackers. No ads. No data goes to the plugin author.

How it confirms donations: UPI direct has no payment gateway. Bank-email matches and pasted text are suggestions for the owner to check against their bank and confirm manually. Automatic confirmation can use only a statement file the owner uploads, with the existing checks and relevant optional switch enabled. The file's upload channel is recorded; the plugin does not prove the document was issued by a bank. Earlier matches without recorded provenance need manual review. Donor proofs alone do not confirm payment. Both automatic-confirm options are off by default. A donor's screenshot is kept as a private record and to speed up matching. A picture alone never confirms a donation. Pictures that look like one already sent, or that carry an editing-app tag, are flagged for you to check and are never confirmed automatically. An instant receipt is not the statutory 80G certificate. Check the rules with your chartered accountant.

1.0.7

• Safety: email and pasted-row matches stay manual, including the proof route. Legacy matches with unknown provenance stay manual.
• Safety: proof automatic confirmation shares the learning, amount, review and automatic-switch checks. One-tap confirmations do not train learning.
• Safety: preserve the first credit reservation and statement channel; conflicting credit rows require manual review. The pending list shows channel and conflicts.
• Safety: reversal of an automatic confirmation switches both automatic options off and records it.
• Copy: state the manual-review boundary and proof switch dependencies. No document-origin guarantee is claimed.

1.0.6

• New: the admin screens now have an icon menu (Record, Verify, Donations, Donors, Reports, Papers, Settings) that becomes a bottom bar on a phone, one big next-step button on each page, status chips in plain words, tables as cards on a phone, and Settings and Papers in sections that open one at a time. Look only, nothing else changed.

1.0.5

• Fix: the Reports and Donors tables now stack as cards on a phone instead of scrolling sideways.
• Fix: one donor per email. A repeat donation reuses the donor record (details refreshed, PAN and address kept unless new ones are given), and the Donors list merges rows that share an email. Existing rows are not deleted.
• New: a donor who forgot to ask for an 80G receipt can add PAN and address later on the donation status page, and the receipt follows once the donation is confirmed.

1.0.4

• Removed: the optional Razorpay card payment mode, its settings, its checkout script and its webhook. The plugin now takes donations by UPI and bank transfer only, straight to the owner's own account. It no longer loads any script from, or sends any data to, a payment gateway.

1.0.3

• New: plugin name is now "Impact Connect Nonprofits Donation" (slug impact-connect-nonprofits-donation), with the code prefix icnd_ / ICND_ so names cannot clash with other plugins.
• New: the privacy line on the donation form shows only when the privacy policy page is published, so donors never get a dead link.
• New: a one-click starter privacy page, saved as a draft (never published for you), offered on this plugin's own screens when no published page exists.
• Fix: all inline scripts and styles now go through the WordPress script and style functions instead of raw tags in the page output.
• Fix: the public donor forms (find my donation, status page, send proof, flow tracker) now carry and check a nonce.
• Fix: payment proof pictures are stored with wp_handle_upload instead of move_uploaded_file.
• Fix: the bundled screenshot reader no longer contains fallback addresses that point to a CDN. It reads everything from the plugin folder.
• Fix: the Plugin URI header pointed to a page that does not exist and was removed.

0.9.37

• Donor proof pictures get a fingerprint. A picture that matches or closely resembles an earlier proof, or carries an editing-app tag, is flagged on the Payment proofs list and is never confirmed automatically. Flags only ask the owner to look; they never reject anything.
• Readme: how confirmation works without the owner watching the bank.

0.9.36

• Safer automatic confirmation: a donor proof (picture and typed reference) no longer confirms a donation by itself. It confirms only when the bank statement or bank alert already shows the same payment. Without that, the proof waits on the owner's list. A proof that arrives before the bank credit is re-checked when the credit is matched.

0.9.35

• Fix: the screenshot reader scripts now carry the plugin version in their address, so a phone that kept an older copy no longer sends the proof form without the picture.

0.9.34

• The donation status page now has an optional "Send screenshot as proof" block: the donor reads the reference from the screenshot on their phone, ticks consent and sends it. It is stored privately and feeds the same automatic-confirm rule. The picture is sent only when the donor taps Send.

0.9.33

• Verify UPI: "Clear reference" removes a wrong or duplicate reference from a waiting donation (the donation stays).
• Mail templates: every mail the plugin sends (thank-you, receipt, I-have-paid note, proof received, reminders, correction and the owner alerts) has one editable template under Donations > Mail templates, with placeholders like {donor_name}, {amount}, {reference}. Mails are sent as HTML with a header in your logo, name and colour.

0.9.32

• Logo is taken from the site automatically (Site Identity logo, then site icon). The Settings picker is an optional override.
• Blocked tries on the Find my donation page no longer extend the one-hour limit.
• Verify UPI shows a copyable donor status link on each donation.

0.9.31

• The 80G receipt PDF has a new branded layout: header band, amount card, donor and donation cards, approval box and clear tax wording. Sample receipts are marked as sample.
• One place for branding: organisation name, logo (new, chosen in Settings) and colour now also appear on the certificate of appreciation and the 80G receipt.

0.9.30

• Screenshot reads that find no reference are kept privately (text only, owner screen only) so the reader can be improved. Shown on the Payment proofs page.

0.9.29

• Email setup: clear message when Brevo blocks the site by IP address.

0.9.28

• Screenshot reader: YONO SBI Pay layout ("UPI transaction ID"); amount check tolerates the rupee mark read as a digit.

0.9.27

• Status page now shows "Reference saved: ..." after a donor adds a reference, and offers Replace reference.

0.9.26

• Fix: Email setup menu registered before its parent menu.

0.9.25

• Email setup: Brevo option that sends over HTTPS (works on hosts that block SMTP ports).

0.9.24

• Donor gets a "we got your proof, confirmed within 24 hours" reply (email where the host can send, on-screen always).
• Optional switch (Payment proofs page, off by default): a proof auto-confirms only when its reference, amount and email equal exactly one waiting donation whose reference the donor already typed at I have paid. Everything else stays for the owner. Every automatic step is listed under Handled automatically.
• Email setup page: guided steps for Gmail, Outlook, Zoho and any SMTP; flags "needs re-linking" if a later send fails, a Send test mail button with a clear linked or failed result, and a "Mail not linked" warning until it passes.

0.9.22

• Payment proof form: the UPI reference is optional. A screenshot alone, a reference alone, or just the amount is enough with a name and one contact.

0.9.21

• Lookup: a UPI reference alone is enough. Email is needed only without a reference.

0.9.20

• "Already paid?" lookup: email, payment app (with where to find the reference), reference or screenshot. No DON number needed. A reference match finds the donation on its own.

0.9.19

• Spacing under Next.

0.9.18

• "Already paid?" is now a full-width outlined button under Next.

0.9.17

• Not-found lookup lets a donor send payment proof (name, one contact, screenshot, reference). The owner sees these under Payment proofs and can create the donation in one tap. Pictures are stored privately.

0.9.16

• PAN check on the donate form: 10 characters (5 letters, 4 digits, 1 letter) with a valid 4th letter (P, C, H, F, A, T, B, L, J, G). Capitals are applied as you type. A well-formed PAN is never rejected, because the plugin cannot confirm that a PAN is real.

0.9.15

• Find page list: readable detail text.

0.9.14

• "Already paid? Check your donation" link on step 1. Find page works with just an email (lists the donations, newest first) and the status page has an "I have paid" button next to the screenshot reader.

0.9.13

• Screenshot reader works on payment apps it has not seen: it ranks every long number on the screen, ignores phone numbers, dates and amounts, and asks the donor to check the guess.

0.9.12

• Screenshot reader: prefers UTR / UPI Ref / RRN labels, fixes letters read in place of digits, accepts Bank Ref and RRN labels.

0.9.11

• Thank-you email carries the certificate link.

0.9.10

• Owner can record a payment that arrived with no donation on the site (Donations > Record a payment). It is saved as paid and the donor gets the certificate link.
• Unknown credits from a bank statement get a "Create donation from this" button.
• Screenshot reader now reads references printed in groups (for example 2177 0746 2671) and Transaction ID style references.
• Step 2: address autofill hint, and the declaration message clears when ticked.

0.9.7

• Payment step on phones: UPI ID, amount and reference with copy buttons come first; one-tap link and QR are fallbacks.
• Donor can say how the money should be used. Share and invite after donating. Certificate of appreciation for confirmed donations.

0.1.0

• First release.
