We’re beyond excited to announce the latest update to GiveWP, version 2.3.0, featuring a game-changing enhancement for our Peer-to-Peer (P2P) fundraising capabilities: Registration Fees!

Registration Fees for Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

With this update, campaign creators can enable and require fundraiser registration fees. Imagine seamlessly covering essential costs such as t-shirts, administrative expenses, event setup, and other materials integrated with Stripe for smooth payment processing. This new feature ensures your campaigns are successful, sustainable, and well-supported.

What’s Changed?

This release introduces a significant new feature while maintaining all previously existing functionalities.

Here’s a closer look at what’s new:

  • Enable Registration Fees: Campaign creators can now enable registration fees per campaign and specify the fee amount.
  • Automatic Requirement: Once enabled, the registration fee becomes mandatory, and fundraisers will not be active until the fee is paid.
  • Integrated Payment Process: Fundraisers can pay the registration fee seamlessly through Stripe during the registration process.
  • Stripe Management: All registration fee transactions are managed entirely within the connected Stripe account.

This update will enhance your fundraising capabilities and streamline your campaign management. We believe it will significantly impact your fundraising efforts, making them more efficient and effective.

Who Benefits

This feature is a game changer for current and future Peer-to-Peer users in Stripe-supported countries, especially those in the United States. By allowing campaign creators to set registration fees, we empower them to effectively manage and offset campaign expenses, making fundraising efforts more efficient and impactful.

Why Registration Fees Matter

Incorporating registration fees for your  Peer-to-Peer campaigns can offer several strategic benefits that can significantly enhance your fundraising efforts:

  • Covering Costs: Registration fees can cover essential campaign costs, ensuring that everything from t-shirts to event materials is funded.
  • Ensuring Commitment: A registration fee adds a level of commitment from participants, helping to ensure that those who sign up are serious about contributing to your cause.
  • Sustainable Fundraising: By offsetting expenses through registration fees, campaigns can run more smoothly and sustainably, allowing you to focus on what matters – your cause.

These benefits underscore the importance of registration fees in creating a more robust and financially secure fundraising campaign.

Currently, Stripe is the only payment processor that supports registration fees. Registration fees are managed exclusively through Stripe, with no administrative actions available on the GiveWP side. Additionally, Fee Recovery cannot be used with registration fees.

Looking Ahead

With this release, we’ve also made key translation enhancements to provide a more seamless experience for our international users:

  • Consistent translations across donor-facing P2P campaign pages
  • Enhanced compatibility with popular translation plugins like Loco Translate, Polylang, and WPML
  • Seamless international peer-to-peer fundraising, ideal for multi-national and multi-cultural organizations

Our commitment to delivering an inclusive and user-friendly platform is at the heart of these updates.

We look forward to seeing these enhancements’ positive impact on your fundraising efforts worldwide. Your feedback is invaluable, so please share your thoughts and experiences (link)!
