Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

🚀 Multi Author Donation turns your WordPress site into a seamless donation platform for multi-author blogs, allowing each author to collect tips or support directly from their profile bio on posts and author pages. Choose between PayPal (simple email setup) or Stripe (secure OAuth Connect for direct payouts), or enable both for flexibility. Admins control activation, and authors connect their accounts effortlessly.

With Multi Author Donation, empower your contributors and monetize content without complexity:

  • Direct Donations: Authors receive funds straight to their accounts—no site intermediary.
  • Flexible Choices: Let authors pick PayPal, Stripe, or both, with buttons displayed dynamically.
  • Easy Integration: Works with most themes, including Elementor, via filters, shortcodes, or PHP tags.
