Use Cases / Who It’s For

Fundraising for WooCommerce is built for organizations and businesses that want to leverage their digital presence to support a cause. It is an ideal solution for non-profit organizations that already use WooCommerce to sell merchandise or educational materials and want to add a direct donation path without leaving their site. By keeping the donation process on your own domain, you maintain full control over the user experience and branding.

For mission-driven e-commerce brands, this plugin is perfect for running seasonal charity drives or permanent “round-up” programs. It helps foster brand loyalty by showing your customers that your business values community impact. Additionally, it is a powerful tool for community projects, school fundraisers, or disaster relief efforts where you need a reliable, professional way to collect funds from a broad audience.

Setup / How It Works

1. Installation: Install and activate the plugin through your WordPress dashboard just as you would with any other WooCommerce extension.
2. Campaign Configuration: Navigate to the plugin settings to create your first campaign. Define the goal amount, set the campaign duration, and customize the messaging that users will see.
3. Checkout Placement: Choose where the donation option appears during the checkout process. You can configure it to appear as a standalone item in the cart or as a simple checkbox option for rounding up the order total.
4. Displaying Progress: Use the provided shortcodes to place progress bars or donation forms on your website’s front end to keep your audience updated on your progress toward your fundraising goal.
5. Management: Monitor incoming donations and campaign status directly from the WooCommerce order management screen, where donations are tracked alongside standard product sales.
