Recurring Donations

Introduction

It is often the case that non-profits or any organization accepting donations would like the flexibility to offer a recurring donation. This feature is supported by the plugin and there are several different configuration that can be used to achieve the desired process.

Recurring Donation With Price

This feature allows you to setup a donation form that includes a recurring donation option. The donor can enter the amount that they want to offer. This is the most flexible of the recurring donation options as it provides customers the ability to name their own donation amount. We recommend this option.

To get started, create a Braintree Plan. Once you have created the plan, you must include the plan ID within the shortcode as follows:

[braintree_recurring_donation recurring_donation_plan="my_donation_plan"]

 This will render a recurring donation page similar to the following:

Recurring Donation With Price and Start Date

Some donors prefer to set the day of the month when a recurring donation will begin. To enable this feature in the plugin, add the following attribute to your donation shortcode:

[braintree_recurring_donation recurring_donation_plan="my_donation_plan" start_date="true"]

 The donation page will render with a nice date picker allowing the donor to select the start date.
