v2.0.1 Popular

What it does

No platform fee

We take nothing per transaction. Stripe's fee is the only cost.

One-off and recurring

Monthly, quarterly or annual giving, managed by the donor themselves.

Designated funds

General, building, missions, benevolence — as many as you need, reported separately.

Cover the fee

An opt-in tick box that meaningfully increases net receipts.

Automatic receipts

Sent immediately, with your wording and branding.

Annual statements

Year-end giving summaries generated per donor.

Donation plugins tend to want a percentage of every gift. For a small organisation that is money that should have gone to the work.

This takes none of it. You pay Stripe’s processing fee and nothing else. Donors can give once or monthly, choose which fund the gift goes to, and opt to cover the processing fee — which a surprising number of them do. Receipts go out automatically, and every donor can be sent an annual giving statement at tax time.

Questions about this product

Do you take a percentage?

No. Never.

Can donors manage their own recurring gift?

Yes, through a self-service portal — no admin involvement needed.

Are donations tax-deductible?

That depends on your organisation's status, not on this plugin. The receipts include whatever wording you configure.
