Gratora - Donation and Fundraising Platform

Gratora is a donation and fundraising platform for WordPress. Not a form plugin you then extend, and not a starting point you pay to finish. The donation form, the campaign page around it, the recurring plans, the donor record, the receipt and the report are all here, in one free plugin, on day one. It is made for nonprofits of every size: a charity, a church, a school, a club, or anyone else who takes donations on a WordPress site. Supporters donate once or set up a recurring donation, and pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, SEPA debit or PayPal. See it before you install it: the live demo runs in your browser on a year of sample data. Guides, support and add-ons are at gratora.net. Donation forms built in the WordPress editor Fields and layout are blocks, so the editor is the one you already know. No page builder and no separate form plugin.

• Suggested amounts with captions, a custom amount, and a minimum you set
• Everything on one screen, or split into steps
• Cover the fees, recurring toggle, fund picker and currency switcher
• Name, email, phone, address, country and a message of support
• Your own custom fields: text, number, dropdown, radio, checkbox, multi-select, date
• Show a field only when it applies, based on the amount, the frequency or another answer on the form
• Anonymous giving, consent checkboxes and a privacy notice
• Put a form on any page with the Donation form block or its shortcode, or add a Donate button that opens the form in a pop-up

Recurring donations

• Weekly, every two weeks, monthly, quarterly or yearly, and you pick which of those each form offers
• Donors change, pause or cancel their own plan in the donor portal
• A receipt for every renewal, and an email to the donor the first time a payment is declined
• Part of the free plugin, with no add-on to buy

Fundraising campaigns and funds

• Gratora builds the campaign page for you, donation form included
• Goals by amount raised, by number of donations or by number of donors, with an optional end date
• Progress bars, recent donations, top donors and a supporter wall: the parts of a crowdfunding page, on your own site
• Funds let donors choose what their donation pays for.

Donor management and a donor portal

• Lifetime totals, every donation, receipts, consent and private staff notes
• Donors sign in with an email link, so there is no password to forget
• Lifecycle stages, segments, lifetime value and retention, worked out for you
• Export donors to CSV

Donation receipts and reports

• Receipts emailed automatically, plus branded PDF receipts and year-end statements donors can download themselves
• Sequential reference numbers with your own prefix and padding
• Revenue, donation and donor figures over any period, per campaign or overall
• A campaign report as a one-page PDF, and revenue as CSV

Payments with Stripe and PayPal Take payments with your own Stripe or PayPal account, so the money goes straight to you. Additional fees may apply from your payment provider. Stripe takes cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and SEPA debit. Cash, check and bank transfer are recorded next to online donations, full and partial refunds are supported, and test mode is kept out of your reporting. Public donation endpoints are rate limited, so a run of automated card attempts does not turn into a run of donation records. More than one currency Accept the currencies you choose, show donors a currency switcher on the form. Ask donors to cover the processing fee Add one block to your donation form and donors are offered the chance to add the payment processing fee on top of their donation, so the fee comes out of the payment rather than out of the donation. You set the percentage and the fixed amount, and you decide whether it starts ticked. Made to look like your site Style presets you set once and reuse across every campaign and form, with a contrast check so text stays readable. Gratora comes in English, German and Spanish, and is ready to be translated into other languages. Your donor data stays yours Donors' email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses and tax IDs are encrypted at rest, as are private notes and answers to your own form fields. Names, company and country are stored as plain text, so they can be searched and sorted. Consent is recorded per donation, IP anonymization is on by default, and you can erase or anonymize a donor on request. Gratora gives you the tools; compliance depends on how you use them. Add-ons Gratora needs nothing else to run. When you need more, add-ons are available at gratora.net/add-ons:

1.2.6

• Fixed: the country lists show every country, not only the first fifty, and arrow keys keep the highlighted one in view.
• Fixed: Apple Pay setup no longer asks for a file, and setup calls Apple Pay verified only when Stripe has verified the domain.
• Fixed: a donor portal page you unpublished or binned stays that way, no second page appears at each update, and setup warns that it is not public. Earlier releases are in changelog.txt.
