Listen "279: How to Combine Donations with Your LMS Website With Devin Walker from GiveWP"
Episode Synopsis
Devin Walker from GiveWP joins Chris Badgett in this LMScast where they discuss how online course creators and entrepreneurs can incorporate donations into their websites. If you’re working on a nonprofit website or any site looking to collect donations, GiveWP offers a great way to do that through WordPress.
Many nonprofits raise money offline, but GiveWP allows you to add donation functionality to your WordPress website with a highly advanced reporting system to show donors and complete donation history. GiveWP offers the ability to integrate with Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.Net, 2Checkout, and many more gateways, so you can collect payments around the world.
Devin shares a few key tips for collecting donations through your website, such as creating a recurring donation option to help scale, and how you can feature your story on your website to help promote the donation options available.
GiveWP also has some great reporting features for donors, such as providing simple donation receipts that donors can pass on to their CPA to itemize on their taxes. They also have the feature of an end of the year report that shows all donations made that year, so if someone makes multiple donations or is doing donations on a subscription basis, they’ll have a complete record of that to pass on to their CPA as well.
As a course creator, you can create some cool setups with GiveWP, such as offering people early access to a course for donating. If you’re donating portions of your proceeds to another cause, you could also say you’ll match donations up to $1,000 to incentivize people to donate, get access, and know that their money is going further to help a specific cause with you matching their donation.
