Common Issues
”Payment gateway not configured”
Symptom: Donors see an error message when trying to pay. Cause: The shared Monime credentials are missing or incorrect in the main Monime settings. Solution:- Go to Monime > Settings.
- Verify that both the API Token and Space ID are filled in.
- Save the settings again and reload the GiveWP payment page.
Monime does not appear in GiveWP
Symptom: Monime is missing from the list of available donation gateways. Cause: The Monime Gateway plugin, GiveWP, or both are inactive, or the shared settings have not been saved. Solution:- Confirm that Monime Gateway is active.
- Confirm that GiveWP is installed and active.
- Verify that the main Monime credentials are saved.
- Refresh the GiveWP settings page after saving.
Donations remain pending
Symptom: A donor paid, but the donation still shows as pending. Cause: Your site is not receiving or processing webhooks correctly. Solution:- Check that the webhook URL is configured in Monime exactly as shown in the plugin settings.
- Ensure your website is publicly reachable. Webhooks cannot reach
localhostor password-protected sites. - Check whether a firewall or security plugin is blocking the
/wp-json/monime/v1/webhookroute.
”Invalid Signature” in logs
Symptom: The donation does not update and the webhook is rejected. Cause: The Webhook Secret in WordPress does not match the webhook secret configured in Monime. Solution:- Copy the signing secret again from the Monime Dashboard.
- Update the Webhook Secret field in Monime settings.
- Save the settings and test the webhook again.
Donor is redirected to a 404 page or back to the cart
Symptom: After clicking pay, the donor lands on a 404 page or is sent back to the cart. Cause: Permalink settings or a redirect conflict is interfering with the offsite return flow. Solution:- Go to Settings > Permalinks in WordPress and click Save Changes to flush rewrite rules.
- Confirm that the donation form and success/failed pages exist.
- Check for redirects introduced by caching, security, or page builder plugins.
Debugging Tips
If a donation does not complete cleanly, check the following in order:- WordPress debug logs or PHP error logs.
- Monime webhook delivery status.
- The donation record inside GiveWP.
- The browser return URL the donor received after payment.
