Excellent support. Great value. > > **Cons**: We ran into a few issues where our website Wordpress Theme (Theme X Pro) had minor incompatibilities with WP Charitable. WP Charitable were fantastic at trouble shooting and we were able to resolve it very quickly. The issues seem to be specific to this Wordpress theme behaving a little differently to other Wordpress Themes, so it's not a problem with WP Charitable per say. And as we like both WP Charitable, and our theme - it hasn't deterred us from either product. > > We use Charitable for our fundraising. The option to allow others to set up fundraisers, and recurring payments is great, as is the reasonable fixed fee, unlike some competitors who take a % of donations. I'm not very tech savvy but it's relatively intuitive, there is good documentation and the support has been excellent. ----- ### "Orphan Run 4 Hope" — 5.0/5 > **Mark** | *16 May 2020* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software fits our program to raise funds for orphans through state and regional runs as well as Church runs. > > **Cons**: NONE - The Customer Support is out of this world, and they were able to assist us to maximize this product for our cause. > > We have see great success with this product and would recommend anyone interested in crowd fundraising or peer to peer defiantly check this out. ----- ### "Excellent Solution for Fundraising & Crowdfunding Management" — 4.0/5 > **Jayde** | *29 June 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: A big feature that made our journey seamlessly simple when using Charitable, was the integrated functionality of a peer-to-peer fundraising and crowdfunding solution that allowed us to effectively and efficiently onboard new ambassadors to help assist with furthering our fundraising efforts. In addition, we also appreciated the fee relief mechanism that allows you to give donors an option to cover the processing fees involved. Their Paypal, Payfast and Stripe integrations work very well and thus provide a good user experience . > > **Cons**: Compared to the competitors, it is very difficult to find any floors within the Charitable plugin offering. With slight customizations, nearly anything can be achieved. No specific cons have been experienced by us. > > Our overall experience with Charitable has been extremely pleasant. Simple yet packed with many advanced features and functionality that can achieve a multitude of different goals. From small fundraising projects to large ambassador based crowdfunding, Charitable is sure to have you cover from end-to-end from our experience. Their support is also outstanding, they are always on hand to assist and give expert advice where needed. ----- ### "This is THE Wordpress Donation Plugin\!" — 5.0/5 > **Shane** | *3 June 2020* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use. Straight to the point. Flexible Payment Gateway implementation. Option for newsletter signups. Progress Status Information for configured Goals. Customer Support from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was always very responsive, and right on the money. > > **Cons**: About the only real Con I have would be related to reCaptcha. Currently, you have to download a script to implement this. Additionally, if using DIVI (Which we are), DIVI suppresses the reCaptcha branding, so that also requires a bit of CSS code (Provided awesomely by \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] ), but this still only places the reCaptcha branding in the bottom-right portion of the web page, so hopefully users will be able to see it. I requested being able to have the reCaptcha branding positioned beside the Submit/Donate button, and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has this on their radar, so... yay\! > > We were very happy to find Charitable\! We tried the whole PayPal Donation route for awhile, as well as customizing a form to work with Authorize.NET; however... PayPal is a bit too simple, and the customized form (Original website was in Classic ASP) was tedious to maintain. We switched to WordPress, and after a trying a couple of other templates, we found DIVI... and then found Charitable as the Donation Plugin that has all the options we wanted, and more. We purchased the Charitable Pro Plan, which includes the base Charitable product (PayPal and single donations), and ADDS ON additional Payment Gateways (Authorize.NET and Stripe), as well as Recurring Donations and e-Checks\! It also has newsletter signup forms. Recurring Donations can be set to: - Simple (Allowing for preconfigured Monthly, Quarterly, Semiannually, and Yearly recurrences) - Variable (Same as Simple, but gives donor the option to choose recurrence intervals) - Advanced (Same as Simple, but can configure Suggested Recurring Donation Amounts) Charitable also makes adding Campaigns a breeze\! The displayed progress information is also great, OR... you don't have to display progress info at all. Having a premium Donation plugin, such as Charitable, is also very beneficial, as they keep it updated so quickly, with each iteration of WP. Additionally, Customer Support is super responsive, and they even go the extra two or three miles to assist you, if possible. Get it\! You will be thankful\! ----- ### "Charitable makes DIY, WordPress-based crowdfunding a snap" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 March 2019* | Higher Education Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Charitable is an affordable way to create your own crowdfunding, fundraising site. For WordPress developers, it's a dream. The creators are responsive and post most everything to GitHub for feature and pull-requests. For my organization, we were able replace a proprietary enterprise vendor that charged us nearly $20,000 per year with a custom, in-house Charitable set up. > > **Cons**: For those accustomed to gofundme and other platforms, you may find some features missing out of the box. You'll have to pay extra for add-ons to help replicate some of these features and others may be missing altogether. But in the end, it's great value for a WordPress plugin. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/149139/charitable?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/149139/charitable) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
