GiveWP Fee Recovery

GiveWP Fee Recovery is an official extension of the GiveWP ecosystem designed for non-profit organizations, foundations, and fundraising projects that use WordPress to manage online donations. Its main purpose is to prevent payment gateway fees from reducing the net amount your organization receives, allowing each donation to reach your cause in full.

The plugin adds an optional checkbox to donation forms so donors can voluntarily cover the processing fees of their transaction. When the donor accepts, the system automatically calculates the exact amount needed to cover the fees based on the payment gateway used, adjusting the total in real time and showing a transparent breakdown of the donation and associated fees.

Its most notable features include:

• Optional or mandatory fee recovery option, depending on the organization's preferences.
• Automatic fee calculation based on each payment gateway's rates.
• Global or per-form configuration, with full control over which campaigns include the option.
• Ability to charge a percentage or a fixed fee.
• Customizable messages to explain to donors the purpose of covering fees.
• Detailed reports showing how many fees have been recovered.
• Integration with GiveWP's visual form builder, adding a dedicated fee recovery block.
• Compatibility with the main payment gateways supported by GiveWP, including Stripe and PayPal.

Configuration is simple: from the GiveWP admin panel, you can define calculation rules, enable or disable the feature, and customize how fees are presented to donors. This allows you to maintain a smooth and transparent user experience without altering the structure of your existing forms.

With GiveWP Fee Recovery, your organization can retain more funds from each donation, improve the sustainability of your campaigns, and offer your donors a clear and voluntary way to support your project's operational costs.
