Cutting Zapier out of a UK non-profit's donation pipeline
A well-established UK non-profit's WordPress donation flow ran through a Stripe plugin and Zapier before ever reaching Salesforce — with silent failures and rising cost along the way. Tenetizer rebuilt it as one direct integration.
A donation flow held together by middleware
The organization's WordPress donation process ran on a Stripe plugin for payments, Zapier to push donation data into Salesforce, and a set of complex, error-prone field mappings in between. Reporting was isolated, with little visibility into failed transactions.
- Frequent Zapier failures with no clear error logging
- Hard-to-debug issues, especially during high-traffic donation days
- Extra monthly Zapier cost for premium tasks
- Inconsistent donor records in Salesforce
- Missing donation records for failed transactions
They needed something reliable, scalable, and cost-effective — one that guaranteed every donation was accurately tracked inside Salesforce.
One direct integration, replacing three fragile hops
Four pieces made up the rebuild: a direct WordPress↔Salesforce integration layer, a native Stripe integration for one-time and recurring gifts, intelligent donation mapping that captures every transaction status, and the downtime/cost savings from cutting Zapier out entirely.

Failures that previously went unnoticed are now traceable and fixable, every transaction regardless of status is captured, and donors get more reliable confirmation emails with no errors during busy donation drives.
"This integration has completely changed our donation management. Reliable, fast, and so much easier to maintain. We finally have every donation tracked accurately in Salesforce."

If plugins and fragile automations are dropping donations, a direct Salesforce integration can fix that — with full visibility into every transaction.
