Business benefits and practical applications

GiveWp's Fee Recovery add-on helps nonprofits, foundations, and charitable campaigns reduce their operating costs by shifting a portion of their payment fees to voluntary donors. Benefits include:

• Increase in real net revenue from donations – more funds go directly to statutory purposes.
• Transparent communication with donors – the commission payment option is displayed in the form, increasing trust.
• Flexibility in charging policy – the ability to test different rates and methods to optimize revenue.
• Simplified financial reporting – Marking payments that cover fees simplifies accounting and auditing.

Practical applications

• Small and medium-sized charities looking to increase their net revenue percentage without raising their donation threshold.
• Fundraising campaigns requiring a clear presentation of payment processing costs for donors.
• Educational and church institutions conducting regular collections and subscriptions for donations.
• Organizations testing a “donor covers fees” model to assess the impact on financial support.

Security, Compliance, and Integration with GiveWP

GiveWp Fee Recovery works as an extension of the existing GiveWP infrastructure, leveraging forms and payment gateways without interfering with payment data. The add-on provides information about how fees are calculated and helps maintain compliance with the organization's internal accounting procedures. By recording fee information directly in donation records, integration with the GiveWP reporting system is intuitive and allows for quick access to relevant statistics.

GiveWp Fee Recovery is ideal for applications where transparency towards donors and effective management of operating costs are key. Configurability and customizable messaging allow for the implementation of policies aligned with the organization's mission without complicating the donation process.
