What it does
Running a fundraiser usually means sending supporters to a separate platform, away from the store they already know. This plugin keeps fundraising inside WooCommerce, which it requires. Campaigns are built as a dedicated product type in the standard product editor, so you set a target amount, minimum and maximum contributions and a description of what the money is for, all in the same screens you use for regular products.
On the front end, visitors get a simple donation form, and contribution values appear as percentages of the goal. A progress bar displays how much has been raised so far. You decide which order statuses count toward the total, so only the payments you choose are tracked. It suits charity drives, nonprofits, community projects and pre-selling new products with a donation element.
Best for
- Nonprofits and NGOs running WooCommerce stores
- Creators pre-selling new products with a donation option
- Community projects and charity drives raising funds online
Features
Crowdfunding product type
Create a campaign by choosing the crowdfunding product type in the WooCommerce product editor, then configure all of its settings in that same familiar screen.
Minimum and maximum contributions
Set the lowest and highest amounts a supporter can give, so every contribution falls within the range you have planned for the campaign.
Fundraising target amounts
Define a clear funding goal for each campaign and display it to visitors, so they know exactly how much you are trying to raise.
Progress bar display
A progress bar shows the amount raised so far against the goal, giving supporters a quick visual sense of where the campaign stands.
Custom amount descriptions
Write your own descriptions for contribution amounts to explain the purpose of the campaign and what each contribution helps accomplish.
Order status tracking rules
Choose which order statuses count toward the fundraising total, so contributions are only added once orders reach the statuses you select.
Shop page visibility control
Enable or disable campaign products across your shop pages to decide where crowdfunding items appear alongside the rest of your catalog.
Percentage based donation form
The front-end donation interface shows contribution values as percentages of your goal, giving visitors a straightforward way to pick an amount.

How is the amount raised calculated?
