Best Wordpress Plugin For Donations to Political Campaign?
October 17, 2015 7:07 PM   Subscribe

I'm working on creating a Wordpress-based website for a friend who is about to announce his candidacy for an elected office (county-level).

I'm fairly comfortable with Wordpress and plugins in general, but I would love some expert advice or recommendations from the awesome AskMe crew about what plugin(s) I should consider to enable people to donate $ to my friend's campaign. Considerations: ease of use, and the ability for people to donate via Paypal AND other services (as some people, I think, are averse to Paypal). Much obliged for any suggestions and/or considerations that I have not mentioned.

Best answer: Get a Stripe account and use the Gravity Form plugin for your donations.

Best answer: If your friend is running on a specific party's ticket, then all of your efforts may be superseded by having his campaign moved to a common platform that the state-level party uses for its candidates. I have seen this happen (with wasted effort on the developers' part) on multiple occasions.

Otherwise, yeah, Stripe plus Gravity Forms.
