WooCommerce Donations

WooCommerce Donations: For Charity Projects

If you want to create a charity website or online store with donation options, Woo (formerly WooCommerce) donations — the best solution for it. Woo donate refers to a feature or extension within the Woo plugin, which is a popular e-commerce platform for WordPress websites. Woo Donate allows website owners to easily set up and manage a donation system on their online stores. With the Woo Donate extension, you can create a donation product or add a donation option during the checkout process. This enables customers or visitors to contribute a specified amount or an amount of their choice to support a cause, charity, or organization associated with your website.
