Donation for WooCommerce, from WP Swings, turns a WooCommerce store into a fundraising channel: donations become store products, customers round up their order total at checkout, campaigns collect for specific causes, and every donation lands in the store’s order system with the reporting store owners already use. The plugin adds the donation layer WooCommerce never shipped – donation products with preset amounts and free amounts, rounding-up at checkout, campaign pages with goal progress, and donor emails through the store’s existing templates.

The plugin’s identity is store-first fundraising. Donations become store products with preset amounts and free amounts, rounding-up at checkout turns spare change into giving, campaign pages with goal progress show how causes are tracking, and every donation lands in the store’s order system with the reporting store owners already use. For stores that want fundraising to live beside their products instead of inside a separate platform, this is the store-first route.
