# How to accept Mobile Money donations on WordPress

Free campaign pages for churches, schools, associations and families: donors give by MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Orange Money or M-Pesa.

**To accept Mobile Money donations on a WordPress site, install a crowdfunding plugin that creates donation pages, and a Mobile Money payment gateway for WooCommerce to take the payments.** Fosia Crowdfunding Lite and Fosia Pay Lite do both for free, with unlimited campaigns and donations and no commission.

## What you need

- A WordPress site with WooCommerce and HTTPS (each donation is a WooCommerce order, so receipts, totals and refunds work as usual).
- A payment account for Mobile Money, connected with [Fosia Pay](/fosia-pay/).
- A cause, a goal and a few lines on what the money will pay for.

## Step 1: install the two free plugins

Install Fosia Pay Lite from [WordPress.org](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fosia-pay-lite/) and connect your payment account (see the [setup guide](/docs/)). Then install [Fosia Crowdfunding Lite](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fosia-crowdfunding-lite/) the same way: Plugins › Add New, search “Fosia Crowdfunding”, Install and Activate.

## Step 2: create the campaign

Give it a title, a goal, an end date and a story. Add budget lines (“what your money pays for”): donors give more when they see where the money goes. Suggest three or four amounts that match local wallets, for example 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 RWF.

## Step 3: share it where your donors are

Each campaign page has WhatsApp, copy-link and QR sharing. Print the QR code for a church notice board, a school gate or an event.

## Step 4: thank and report

Post updates on the campaign page and export the donations as CSV. Donor names stay private unless the donor ticks “Show my first name”.

## When to move to Crowdfunding Pro

[Crowdfunding Pro](/crowdfunding/) adds group collections led by supporters, an impact meter (“5,000 RWF = 10 books”), a matching sponsor, live donations and proof of spending with receipts, from $29.99 a year.
