How does this work?
The project is still in early stages. We have are working on an Android app that we are hoping to make it easier for on-site people at the orphanage to keep the children on site updated and able to communicate with sponsors. Right now it allows the creation of children, their listing on a page, and some routing for sponsors to sign up to the site. It can email the website owners about which child a sponsor is interested in, as well as signing up sponsors as stripe customers to register for monthly sponsorships. Currently, no payments are taken on site but we hope to incorporate this in our next release.
The basic flow after installing is. 1. Create the children through the administrator, or soon via the Android app (it still has some work to go). Fill the fields you can, please use the format mentioned for dates for now, you can use an estimated date for Birthday if needed. There is a nickname field so real names are not necessarily displayed publically. In the android app, the picture must have finished uploading before you save the child at this point. 2. Use either the Guten block, or the [oo_aleluya/] shortcode to insert the list of children on a page or post. 3. When a sponsor sees the children, he can click on ‘sponsor this child’. 4. Depending on if Stripe is enabled, and public registrations are allowed, 1. If these are not, then it will ask the potential sponsor for their email and message the website owner with it, optionally triggering and IFTTT call as well. 2. If they are, and the user is not logged in, then it will take the user to the WordPress registration page. The logo can be over-ridden in the admin with the orphanage logo. And the user will be registered as a supporter/donor, as well as a Stripe customer created. They can log in and manage their profile, and in the future, we pray they can communicate with the children they sponsor. 3. If they are logged in, it will message the website owners about the child and interested sponsor email. 5. If Stripe is enabled, once they are registered they can also set their payment details in the User/Your Profile section of the administrator. 6. If Stripe is enabled, you may also create arbitrary donation forms via [oo_donation_block_aleluya purpose_aleluya=”(string)” expandable_aleluya=”(yes/no)”/] or Gutenberg.
