Please see Terms of Service and Privacy Notice Integrations GoFundMe Pro Donation Forms – This plugin integrates with GoFundMe Pro Donation Form. Apple Pay Verification – Adds Stripe’s domain association file for Apple Pay verification to your WordPress site and makes Apple Pay available in the GoFundMe Pro Donation Forms of this plugin Privacy When using Intelligent Ask Amounts (IAA) on embedded forms, GoFundMe Pro assigns IDs to identify new and returning donors. IAA then uses these IDs to create personalized donation suggestions to help nonprofits raise more. Nonprofits have the ability to enable or disable the IAA feature, so it will not automatically be enabled with the plugin installation. New visitors are given an ID [classy-session-id], placed on the same page as the embedded as a cookie, and IAA generates suggested amounts using session and demographic data that is associated with this ID. Returning donors are recognized based on their past donations, letting IAA personalize donation suggestions. For all donations, prior to checkout donors are presented with the legalese “By donating, you agree to our Privacy Policy and GoFundMe Pro’s Terms and Privacy Notice. GoFundMe facilitates your donations.” About GoFundMe Pro GoFundMe Pro is the next evolution in nonprofit fundraising – combining powerful, flexible software with the scale and intelligence of the world’s largest fundraising platform.
