Give: Dwolla Gateway 1.1.2

Give Dwolla Gateway is a WordPress plugin that helps you accept donations using the Dwolla payment network. It’s designed to solve a common fundraising problem: reducing payment processing fees so more of each contribution supports your mission. Instead of relying on credit cards with percentage-based charges, Dwolla uses bank-to-bank transfers that can cost just $0.25 per transaction, or be free for donations of $10 or less.

For nonprofits and donation-focused sites, this approach can mean meaningful savings over time while keeping the donation experience straightforward on your WordPress website. If you’re looking for a lower-fee way to collect payments, Give Dwolla Gateway provides a practical option worth exploring.
