Give Fee Recovery

Every dollar counts when you are running a nonprofit or managing a fundraising campaign. Unfortunately, payment processing fees can quietly erode your total donations, taking a percentage of every gift before it even reaches your organization. The Give Fee Recovery plugin for GiveWP changes that dynamic by empowering your donors to voluntarily cover those transaction costs, ensuring that 100% of their intended contribution goes directly toward your mission.

Key Features

• Donor Opt-In Flexibility: Provide a seamless experience by adding a simple checkbox to your donation forms, allowing donors to choose whether they want to cover the processing fees for their gift.
• Transparent Fee Calculation: The plugin automatically calculates the exact amount required to cover the specific transaction costs, ensuring donors know exactly what they are contributing.
• Global and Per-Form Control: Configure your fee recovery settings globally for your entire site, or override them on a per-form basis to tailor the experience for different campaigns.
• Customizable Messaging: Easily edit the opt-in text to match your organization‚Äôs voice, explaining the impact of their choice and building trust with your supporters.
• Multiple Gateway Support: Works seamlessly with popular payment gateways, ensuring that your fee recovery setup remains consistent across your preferred payment methods.
• Detailed Reporting: Keep track of your fundraising success with built-in reporting that shows exactly how much in transaction fees has been recovered, helping you measure the impact on your bottom line.

Use Cases / Who It’s For

This plugin is an essential tool for nonprofit organizations, charities, and individual fundraisers who rely on the GiveWP platform to collect donations. If you are tired of seeing a significant portion of your hard-earned funds disappear into processing fees, this solution is designed for you.

By giving supporters the choice to “top up” their donation to cover the fees, you are not just saving money‚Äîyou are inviting your donors to become active partners in your financial sustainability.
