PeerRaiser – Peer-to-Peer Fundraising Donation Plugin

Description

PeerRaiser is a donation plugin that makes it easy to create powerful peer-to-peer fundraising campaigns on your own WordPress site.

Empower individuals and teams to recruit new constituents and fundraise in support of your organization.

Powerful

PeerRaiser is fully featured. You can create unlimited campaigns and fundraisers. There are no “add-ons” or extensions to pay for. New features are added on a regular basis to make it even more powerful.

Customizable

This plugin takes full advantage of WordPress’ awesome “hooks” system. You can easily customize PeerRaiser by using the built-in actions and filters throughout the plugin.

In addition, the plugin separates the HTML from the PHP into templates that can be overwritten.

To overwrite a template, create a “peerraiser” folder in your theme folder, and copy the template from the “views” folder into it. Make sure to keep the same folder structure.

For example, to customize the donation form, you could copy views/frontend/donation-form.php and place it in your-theme/peerraiser/frontend/donation-form.php, and then make your changes.

Note: We suggest using hooks instead of using this method, whenever possible.

Easy

PeerRaiser is so easy to use, you can get setup and accepting donations in minutes! There’s no need to mess with SSL certificates or setup complicated merchant accounts.

So first on the fees. I couldn’t find information on this until I installed the plugin and registered for a Stripe account. You see all the payments are processed through PeerRaiser – they charge 4% per transaction unless you’re a 501c3, then it’s 3%. That’s in addition to Stripe’s fees which is 2.9% plus .30 per transaction. So for a $100 donation, roughly $7.20 goes away in transaction fees. Next, it appears there’s no way to export data in any format. So you can’t export your donors in CSV or Excel form, your donations, your fundraisers… nothing. I couldn’t find any documentation that explains how to modify the registration pages or team pages to capture more information. Nor could I easily find a way that a participant could modify their profile page once it was created. For example, it’s not easily apparent how a user could join a team after the user registered. It’s a great idea but there’s really not enough functionality to justify the fees involved.

Great concept, but doesn’t work and no response to help solve issues from developer. Other reviews must be by friends.
