GiveWP Recurring Donations

Description

The Recurring Donations add-on adds support for recurring donations to GiveWP, allowing donors to choose a weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annual frequency directly on the contribution form, with automatic payments processed by compatible gateways. This add-on creates a subscription profile for each supporter, synchronizes renewals with the payment platform, sends email receipts for each cycle, and enables a subscription management dashboard in the WordPress admin.
