Introducing Square 2.0.0: Square Recurring Donations

Our Recurring Donations add-on has a new compatible payment gateway: Square!

The Square add-on previously only supported one-time credit card donations. With the latest update, we’ve added support for Square recurring donations. All you have to do is activate and configure both the Square add-on and the Recurring Donations add-on.

Keep in mind that if you are already using Square to accept online donations, you’ll get a message prompting you to disconnect and then reconnect Square.

Square Recurring Donations

With Square and Recurring Donations, you can convert one-time donors into recurring donors with a simple click. Empowering your donors to make recurring gifts removes donor friction, increases donor contributions, and creates a consistent cash flow for your organization. On average, this results in a 30% overall increase in giving compared to one-time donors.

This update to Square ensures you have access to all of the benefits of Recurring Donations through a payment gateway that people know and trust.

Square Donation Features

The Square add-on allows your organization to accept one-time or recurring donations online from most major credit cards. There are no monthly charges – instead, Square implements an easy to understand transaction processing fee: 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction.

Other key highlights include:

• No API setup
• Fully documented and supported
• Square-reviewed code
• Next day deposits
• Secure and PCI compliant
• Initiate refunds directly through Give

The Square add-on is included in all of our pricing plans.
