Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:44 pm

Are you thinking about adding a donation feature to your WooCommerce store? Donations can be a great way to give back to causes you care about, or to help raise money for a good cause.

But how do you actually go about setting up a donation in WooCommerce? In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps of creating a donation in WooCommerce, and offer some tips on how to get the most out of your donations.

The first thing you need to do is install and activate the WooCommerce Donations plugin. Once you’ve done that, you’ll need to go to WooCommerce > Settings > Donations to configure the plugin settings. On the plugin settings page, you’ll need to enter a default donation amount, as well as choose whether you want to display the donation form on the product page, cart page, or both.

Once you’ve configured the plugin settings, you’ll need to add a donation product to your WooCommerce store. To do this, go to WooCommerce > Products > Add New.

On the add new product page, select the Donation product type from the dropdown menu. Then enter a product name and description, and set a price for the donation.

Now that you’ve added the donation product to your store, customers will be able to add donations to their cart when they’re shopping on your site. If you want to encourage customers to make donations, you can add a “Make a Donation” button anywhere on your site using a shortcode. Customers can click on this button to add a donation product to their cart.

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, creating a donation in WooCommerce can be dangerous. Make sure that you know what you are doing before you attempt to create a donation. WooCommerce is a powerful tool, and if used incorrectly, it can cause serious problems.

Conclusion:

Adding a donation feature to your WooCommerce store is easy with the WooCommerce Donations plugin. Simply install and activate the plugin, then configure the plugin settings and add a donation product to your store. Customers will then be able to add donations to their cart when they’re shopping on your site.
