Recurring donations allow your supporters to provide ongoing, predictable funding for your organization. By enabling this feature, you give donors the choice to automate their contributions on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly basis. This steady stream of revenue helps you plan for the future with greater financial stability while making it easier for donors to sustain their support without having to return to your site every time.

You have full control over how recurring options appear on your forms. You can set them as optional for the donor, make them the default choice, or even require them for specific campaigns. The system also empowers your supporters by giving them access to a personal dashboard where they can manage their own subscriptions, update payment methods, or view their giving history. This self-service approach reduces your administrative workload and builds trust by putting the donor in control of their generosity.
