No. DonorCore works with standard WooCommerce and does not require WooCommerce Subscriptions. ### Can I customize the donation form appearance? Yes. You can customize buttons, fonts, colors, spacing, progress bars, and more from the Settings panel — no coding required. ### How do I add a donation form to my site? You can add donation forms using: 1. Gutenberg blocks 2. Shortcodes 3. Campaign progress shortcodes ### Are PDF receipts generated automatically? Yes. PDF receipts are automatically generated and emailed when a donation payment is completed. Note: Email delivery requires SMTP configuration. Install and configure WP Mail SMTP plugin for reliable email delivery. ### Can I customize email and PDF templates? Absolutely. Both templates are editable using HTML and dynamic placeholders from the Settings panel. ### Is DonorCore GDPR compliant? Yes. DonorCore integrates with WordPress privacy tools for data export and erasure. ### Are donations subject to taxes? No. Donation products are automatically tax-exempt. DonorCore sets all donations as non-taxable to comply with donation tax regulations. ### Do donations require shipping? No. Donations are virtual products and never require shipping. If a customer has both regular products and donations in their cart, shipping fees apply only to physical products. ### Can I sell regular products and accept donations in the same cart? Yes. DonorCore handles mixed carts seamlessly: – Regular products: Taxable and require shipping (as configured) – Donations: Tax-exempt and no shipping needed – Both can be purchased together in a single checkout ### What happens with offline donation payments (Cash, Bank Transfer)? Offline payment methods work differently from online payments: **Online Payments (Stripe, PayPal, etc.):** – Donation is tracked immediately after payment – Order status: “Completed” automatically – Receipt sent immediately **Offline Payments (Cash on Delivery, Bank Transfer):** – Order status: “Processing”( awaiting payment) – Donation is NOT tracked until admin confirms payment – Admin must manually mark order as “Completed” after receiving payment – Receipt sent only after admin confirmation This prevents donations from being counted before payment is actually received. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “DonorCore – Donations for WooCommerce” is open source software.
