What It Does

Are you looking for a simple donation plugin for a charity or for example the local football club? This plugin is both suitable for one-time donations and for periodic payments. All payment methods of Mollie are integrated into the plugin. The plugin is also available in several languages: Dutch, English, German and French.

Although the plugin is very easy to install, it contains enough options. Donations can be found in the WordPress admin panel. Donors can enter their details. You can specify different projects, so donors can choose which project they want to donate. You can choose which data donors should provide for the donation. You can set a redirect page yourself. You can specify by default the choice of the donor. You can style the form as desired.

In addition to one-time donations, this plugin is also useful for collecting periodic amounts. This works on the basis of Mollie's Subscription API. This system makes it possible, for example, to collect a certain amount monthly, quarterly or annually by credit card or by SEPA Direct Debit.

Let your donors donate in their own currency. Enable this setting so the donor can select a currency when donating, or set a default currency for all donations.

Please take a look at Mollie Forms which contains more features to create forms with payments.
