Give Fee Recovery 2.3.7

Give Fee Recovery is a WordPress plugin from Give, the organization behind the GiveWP donation system. It solves a problem every online fundraiser knows well: payment processors deduct a fee from each contribution. When someone gives $100, the charity often ends up with less than that amount. Give Fee Recovery offers a clean, focused solution. Donors see an optional prompt during the donation flow that asks them to add a small extra amount to cover the processing fee. That extra amount makes the true cost of giving visible. If the donor agrees, the full original gift reaches the organization, and the donor’s total charge is slightly higher. If they decline, the donation proceeds as usual, with the organization covering the fee. This choice respects the donor’s wishes while giving them an easy way to protect their intended impact. Working entirely inside WordPress, it connects directly to the existing GiveWP donation flow.

The global control is where most administrators will start. Give Fee Recovery includes a single setting that applies your fee recovery preference across every payment gateway at once. You can switch the entire system on or off from one place, which makes it easy to test the feature before rolling it out broadly. Once the global option is enabled, every donor sees the fee recovery choice no matter which gateway they use. But different gateways can have different fee structures, and your organization might want to treat them separately. Per-gateway options allow you to do exactly that. You can disable the feature for a particular payment method, or change how it handles that gateway while keeping the global default active elsewhere. This gives you fine-grained control without turning every donation into a separate configuration task. The per-gateway settings are simple to find and adjust, so you can manage each payment option according to its own needs.
For the donor, the process is straightforward. The fee recovery prompt appears at the point of donation, asking if they would like to add a small amount to cover the transaction costs. The plugin handles the calculation behind the scenes, so the donor never needs to figure out what the correct extra amount should be. They simply see a suggested figure that matches the gateway’s fee for their donation size. When they accept, the additional amount is added to their total charge, and the organization receives the full original gift. This is especially helpful for smaller gifts, where fees eat a larger share. The prompt stays clear and friendly, not confusing or aggressive. It presents the fee recovery as an option, not a demand. Donors who want to help cover costs can do so with one click; others still complete their donation without friction. This keeps the donation experience positive for everyone involved.
What makes Give Fee Recovery valuable is how quickly it can be deployed and understood. There is no complicated setup, no new page to create, and no extra system for donors to learn. The feature lives inside the existing GiveWP workflow, so the organization simply turns it on and adjusts a few options. Within minutes, donors see the optional fee recovery prompt and can choose to cover the cost if they wish. Over time, this can make a noticeable difference in how much of each gift actually ends up in the nonprofit’s account. The donor also walks away feeling they had a say in covering the transaction cost, which can strengthen their connection to the cause. Since the plugin comes from the Give team, it is designed to work with GiveWP’s structure rather than fighting against it. It does one task, and it does so without adding clutter to your WordPress administration area. That simple approach is the core appeal.
