GiveWP’s mission is to empower organizations and nonprofits to maximize their impact. In line with this commitment, we have unveiled various updates and improvements in GiveWP 3.0. Among the highlights are upgrades to our Recurring Donation forms. In response to valuable feedback from our users, we have enhanced the recurring donations experience. It is now more streamlined, user-friendly, engaging, and efficient for organizations and donors.
Streamlining the Recurring Donations Process
Previously, the recurring donations option was presented as a checkbox for donors to select, accompanied by a dropdown menu that allowed donors to choose the frequency of their contributions.
One of the primary concerns was around the donation frequency options and the overall experience associated with billing period choices.
We hear you! Your desire for a more streamlined process that will encourage your donors to opt for recurring gifts is what drove us to make upgrades to Recurring Donation forms. That’s where GiveWP 3.0 comes in.
Where Will Donation Frequences Be Displayed Now?
The recurring option is now prominently displayed at the top of the donation form, immediately catching the donor’s attention. The strategic placement makes it the first choice a donor makes when initiating a donation.
This positioning helps your organization effectively communicate the significance of recurring donations as a top priority.
In addition to the visual prominence of the recurring donations option, it’s also important to analyze how your organization communicates the impact and importance of recurring donations.
Ensure donors understand the difference they can make when they opt for a recurring gift. Engage donors meaningfully by highlighting the power of recurring donations, including the real-world impact of sustained contributions.
Introducing the “Recurring-Only” Form
Another one of our upgrades to Recurring Donation forms in GiveWP 3.0 is the “recurring-only” donation form. This new option enables your organization to create forms that require donors to make a recurring commitment.
While a recurring-only form ensures clarity about the donor’s intent, there are several other use cases for such a form. For instance, these forms are ideal to entice donors to become members, “adopt” an animal, and more.
Customizable Billing Periods
To make Recurring Donations even more versatile, GiveWP 3.0 allows your organization to customize the number of billing periods based on your goals. This feature is invaluable for campaigns, projects, or initiatives that have a pre-determined timeline or duration.
Customizing billing periods makes it easier for your organization to drive participation in specific initiatives while keeping the donation process transparent and straightforward for donors. This level of customization ensures that your donors have a clear understanding of their commitment, which can be vital in encouraging support for a time-bound project.
