Checkout Contributions for WooCommerce

Checkout Contributions is a flexible WooCommerce extension that allows merchants to collect optional customer contributions during the shopping experience.

Customers can choose to add a contribution from the cart, checkout, or product page, with the amount automatically added as a native WooCommerce fee. Contributions flow through order totals, refunds, analytics, emails, and reporting just like any other order fee.

The plugin is designed for a wide variety of use cases

• Charitable Fundraising
  Allow customers to add an optional contribution during checkout to support a charity, nonprofit organisation, relief fund, educational initiative, healthcare program, or other charitable cause chosen by the merchant.
• Environmental Initiatives
  Collect contributions for sustainability-focused activities such as tree planting programs, conservation efforts, renewable energy projects, environmental awareness campaigns, or local green initiatives managed by the merchant or their chosen organisation.
• Community Projects
  Support local community improvements, neighbourhood programs, public events, youth development activities, cultural programs, sports clubs, community centres, and social impact projects.
• Nonprofit Campaigns
  Enable nonprofits and mission-driven organisations to collect additional support during online purchases, memberships, event registrations, or fundraising campaigns through their WooCommerce store.
• Customer Support Programs
  Allow customers to contribute toward programs that assist vulnerable individuals, emergency relief efforts, disaster recovery funds, food assistance programs, healthcare support, or other customer-focused initiatives.
• School & Educational Programs
  Raise funds for schools, student activities, scholarships, educational resources, training programs, libraries, research projects, and educational development initiatives.
• Animal Welfare & Rescue Causes
  Collect optional contributions for animal shelters, rescue organisations, wildlife protection efforts, pet adoption programs, veterinary support initiatives, and animal welfare campaigns.
• Religious & Faith-Based Initiatives
  Support places of worship, religious organisations, community outreach programs, humanitarian projects, mission activities, and faith-based charitable initiatives.
• Business Social Responsibility (CSR) Programs
  Enable businesses to run customer-supported social responsibility campaigns and collect contributions for causes aligned with their company values and community commitments.
• Merchant-Defined Causes
  Create completely custom contribution campaigns for any purpose chosen by the merchant, with full control over the messaging, branding, contribution amounts, and fund allocation process.

Unlike many donation solutions that rely on separate products or external services, Checkout Contributions integrates directly into WooCommerce using native fee handling and checkout functionality. Merchants maintain full control over messaging, branding, contribution amounts, and the causes they support.

Key benefits include:

• Optional contribution widgets on cart, checkout, and product pages
• WooCommerce Classic and Block Checkout support
• Percentage, fixed amount, and weight-based contribution calculations
• Customisable widget design, messaging, and cause information
• Analytics dashboard with contribution reporting and CSV export
• HPOS-compatible order management and reporting
• Native WooCommerce fee integration without requiring donation products

Important: The plugin does not automatically send funds to charities, causes, or third-party organisations. Merchants receive contributions through their normal WooCommerce payment flow and are responsible for directing collected funds to their chosen cause or organisation.
