DonorCore is a professional donation plugin that transforms WooCommerce into a powerful fundraising platform. It allows organizations to manage donation campaigns, track donors, analyze fundraising performance, and automatically generate email and PDF receipts — all from a modern React-based admin dashboard.
DonorCore is ideal for organizations, community groups, and fundraisers that want a reliable, scalable, and fully WooCommerce-native donation solution without depending on third-party fundraising platforms.
